MultiTest 10-xt (10kN)


MultiTest 10-xt touch screen tension and compression test system

MultiTest 10-xt (10kN)

Force testing system, designed with a touch screen interface for tensile testing and compression tester measurements


The MultiTest 10-xt is Mecmesin's mid-range programmable, yet self-contained force testing system rated to 10kN.  Using a touch screen interface, it is ideal for the production environment, where repeatable, accurate routine tensil tests are performed and requires minimum set-up time and training.

The tensile tester uses Mecmesin’s high performance Intelligent Loadcells for excellent resolution and outstanding accuracy.

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.
