ADMET eXpert 8000 Planar Biaxial Testing System

Ideal for subjecting biomaterials, elastomers, fiber reinforced composites, films, plastic fabrics and textiles to a variety of different stress states and measuring their mechanical response. Two orthogonal actuators can be programmed to move independently or in coordinated motion under force or strain control. Both static and fatigue tests are performed via ADMET's MTESTQuattro controller. Integrated with Digital Image Correlation (DIC) System for accurate non-contacting strain measurements. Load Cells: 1000 lbs. / 4.4 kN, Vise Grips and 50 lbs. / 222 N, Rake Grips. Maximum Speed X,Y: 508 mm/min (20 in/min). Maximum Distance between opposing crossheads: 23 in.
