All applications
The standardized frame provides upper and lower test spaces, enabling efficient change‑over between tensile and compression fixtures without re‑mounting the specimen zone.
Cometech’s M1F software runs on Windows and supports tensile, compression, bending, peeling and tearing strength tests with multi‑language UI and metric/imperial units, streaming live curves and generating printable reports.

Features & Functions
- Auto‑identification of loadcell and displacement accessory parameters via built‑in memory chips, eliminating manual parameter entry when swapping sensors.
- Optional 7‑inch touch TFT display panel for stand‑alone operation, with real‑time force, pressure, displacement and time display plus on‑board storage of up to 50 test results and USB export.
- M1F software supports tensile, compression, bending, peel, tearing, spring and creep tests, with TCP/IP two‑way PC communication and flexible data table/graph layouts.
- Protection functions include overload, over‑travel, over‑time, upper/lower limit switches and emergency stop; optional loadcell anti‑collision function available at 1000 mm/min.
- Jog controller aids precise displacement adjustment for calibration and specimen positioning, especially useful at 50 kN capacity.
Configuration & Options
- Frame / test space options: standard 420 mm column spacing with wider options (550, 680, 800 mm) for large fixtures or panels.
- Extensometers: short extensometer (QC‑557) for low elongation (<50%) and long extensometer (QC‑551) for higher elongation (>20%), shown in Cometech materials as typical accessories.
- Grips & fixtures: compatible with a wide range of Cometech grips for wedge tensile, bending, compression platens, cross‑peel shear, customized compression and shaft‑centering applications.
