Mechanical Tester Upgrade Mach-1 V500c to V500cst

MA017

Adds a motorized horizontal stage and a rotation stage to your uniaxial tester

SKU: MA017 Categories: ,

Adding a rotating stage (T) and a horizontal stage (X axis) will allow an infinite rotating displacement at a 0.1 mdeg resolution and a 100 mm horizontal displacement at a 0.5 mm resolution. This upgrade, including the multi-axial configuration, enables indentation mapping, friction testing, shear testing and torsion testing. It is not necessary to ship back the whole original tester to Biomomentum. New parts will be shipped and a remote installation will be scheduled.

  • Modular design, easy adjustment of test configuration geometry
  • Compatible with multiaxial load cells
  • Performs high-precision, multiple-axis testing in compression, tension, shear and torsion, in various modes including dynamic, static, and waveform loading.

FAQ

Can I upgrade a mechanical tester bought few year ago?
Yes. This is a major advantage of our versatile mechanical tester platform. Depending on you tester model, various upgrades can be applied. You can browse through the "Upgrades" section of our accessory catalog and search for upgrade options to your current tester model.

You cannot directly "Add to Cart" an upgrade since we need to know the actual configuration of your tester. To get pricing information about an upgrade, start by adding the final tester configuration you need (with the list of desired accessories, including those you might already owned). Then from the "Cart" panel of this website, you can access detailed pricing information for our products and upgrades through a simple email validation process. You will be invited to provide the serial number of your tester. This serial number can be found on a label affixed on the right side of the tester (format MAXXXXXXX). Any valid serial contains the necessary information about your tester configuration (e.g. type of stages, load cells and compatible accessories) so that our online calculation algorithm can recommend the right upgrade options with the corresponding pricing.
