Universal testing machines

Universal Testing Machines, Configured Around Your Test.Two machines. One accuracy class.

Designed and manufactured in Mumbai, India, DAK universal testing machines support quality control, product development and research. Both series offer ISO 7500-1 Class 0.5 force-measurement accuracy, with the frame, control and accessories selected around your test.

Which one

Which universal testing machine suits your laboratory?

Start with the tests you need to run, the results you need to measure and the way your team works. Both series share the same accuracy class; test programming, control, data acquisition and frame options help determine the right configuration.

Research, certification and advanced test programmes

Explore Series 7200 for flexible test sequences, precise specimen positioning, sample protection and data acquisition up to 400 kHz. Its software brings live displays, analysis and synchronised video into the testing workflow.

Series 7200
Methods requiring control of load, stress or strain

Series 7200 supports position, load, stress and strain control within a test method. Choose it when the method needs the machine to control one of these quantities, rather than simply record it.

Series 7200
Routine quality control and incoming inspection

Series 9000 supports travel-controlled testing with six named procedures stored in its standalone Console. Recall the required settings for everyday laboratory tests, with PC connectivity for analysis and reporting.

Series 9000
Production and teaching laboratories

Consider Series 9000 when standalone operation and reusable procedures suit your work. Its overload protection, over-travel stops and emergency stop support daily operation; select the grips and measurement accessories for the tests you will run.

UTM test capabilities

A Versatile Platform for Material Testing.

Depending on the machine and configuration, a universal testing system can be equipped for tensile, compression, flexure, peel, adhesion, shear and other static mechanical tests.

The frame, load cell, grips or fixtures, extensometry, software and test environment work together to meet the material, specimen, method and measurement requirements.

Specify your UTM

Specify the Right UTM for Your Application.

Use these six considerations to define the testing system your laboratory needs.

Material and specimen

Material, geometry, dimensions and the expected mode of failure.

Test and standard

The test method, applicable standard or customer procedure.

Expected force range

The lowest force to measure reliably and the highest expected load.

Control and measurement

Required control mode—travel, load, stress or strain—and deformation measurement.

Gripping and environment

Grips, platens, fixtures and temperature conditions required by the method.

Operation and reporting

Console or PC operation, data acquisition, calculations and reporting requirements.

What determines a UTM quotation

A UTM quotation reflects the complete system: frame size and travel, load-cell range, grips or fixtures, extensometry, environmental conditioning, control and software requirements.
