Force Testing Machines
MultiTest 1-x (1kN)
Learn More!
The MultiTest 1-x is a semi-automatic test machine, rated to 1kN, providing programmability within a rugged stand-alone test frame. This makes it an ideal choice for environments where a PC would not be appropriate.
The system is combined with Mecmesin's high performance loadcells (XLC), ensuring excellent resolution and outstanding accuracy.
Programmable through simple keypad user-interface
One-button operation - select test from menu, then press 'Start'
Auto recognition and configuration of Mecmesin intelligent loadcells
Key Benefits At A Glance
- Measures force and displacement
- Create and store up to 30 test programs
- Operator guided through program set-up via menus and prompts
- Test results shown on LCD with pass/fail indicator
- Password protection to safeguard programs
- Auto-loadcell recognition/configuration
- Compatible with Emperor™ Lite data acquisition software
Automated testing = Maximum efficiency
The PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) or Digital Control Interface facilitates additional automation, enabling control of external devices, which can perform other tasks normally undertaken manually. Using a PLC allows tests to run safely without the requirement of an operator present, thereby maximising productivity, lowering costs and minimising mistakes, often caused through human error.
