Mechanical Property Testing doesn't need to be expensive or difficult

Posted by Debbi Cohen on Wed, Nov 3, 2010 @ 11:11 AM

Whether you are in medical device production or R&D testing, mechanical property testing is a critical step in ensuring the quality of your product. Unfortunately, the testing process can be expensive and time consuming. Some companies hire specialized engineers to maintain large and expensive pieces of testing equipment, others decide to outsource their testing needs to laboratories that may or may not understand the needs of your customers.  At ADMET, we decided to make mechanical testing easy and affordable.

Measuring just 12 x 16 inches and weighing less than 45 pounds, the eXpert 7600  single column testing machines will fit comfortably in any setting.  Despite its compact frame, the eXpert 7600 can satisfy capacities up 5kN, making it ideal for a wide range of testing applications. As always, ADMET will customize any system to fit specialized load and speed requirements. 

Like all of our machines, the 7600 series can be controlled with MTESTQuattro, a PC-based controller, or the eP2, a standalone touch panel unit. Although both controllers satisfy different levels of sophistication in data analysis and reporting, both systems are easy to use and backed by a lifetime of free customer support. 

Some refer to it a mini tester, others call it a workhorse.
