Features & Functions
- Advanced testing system: 32‑bit high‑precision resolution and optimized 1200 Hz acquisition allow accurate force and deformation measurement with dual A/D and encoder signal modules.
- Complete speed control: Software supports constant load/stress/strain/speed modes and multi‑step speed setting from 0.0002–3000 mm/min, covering a wide range of test requirements.
- Constant creep test: Creep testing can be performed over one month with full data recording for later analysis and reporting.
- Cyclic / reciprocating testing: Multi‑step cyclic tests capture max/min load, elongation, stress and displacement at each step for fatigue‑type evaluations.
- 7‑inch touch display panel (optional): Shows force, pressure, displacement and time, supports test speed/direction/auto‑return settings, interval force analysis, multi‑point stop conditions, USB data storage and stand‑alone calibration.
- Grips & fixtures: Compatible with wedge grips, bending fixtures, customized compression grips, compression platens with displacement sensors, cross‑peel shear grips and shaft‑centering grips.
Configuration & Options
- Frame variants: QC‑526M2F‑M (800 mm stroke) for most 20 kN tests; QC‑526M2F‑L (1200 mm stroke) for longer specimens or environmental chambers.
- M2F software (Windows 7/8/10): Data sampling up to 1200 Hz, supports multiple test data sets concurrently, flexible table layouts, user‑defined formulas, adjustable X–Y axes and extensive statistical tools.
- Loadcells (M2F system): Grade A/B loadcells with built‑in memory chips storing calibration parameters; safe overload 140% (Grade A) and 120% (Grade B) for 0.2–100% / 1–100% ranges respectively.
- Grips & fixtures: Full Cometech grip ecosystem for tensile, compression, flexure, peel, puncture and custom applications; see your Cometech Grips category for matching accessories.
