Universal Testing Machines, Configured Around Your Test.Two machines. One accuracy class.
Tension, compression and flexure to ISO 7500-1 Class 0.5 — whether the result is going into a certificate or onto a production shift report.
Detailed comparison18 points, side by side
Both frames run Dyna Desk – Test Bench. The full control and acquisition specification sets out what each console exposes, machine by machine.
Choose by the work, not by the spec sheet.
Both machines measure to the same accuracy class. What separates them is how the test is driven — and that follows from the method you have to run.
Closed loop on load, strain or stress, and acquisition up to 400 kHz — enough to record the failure rather than a sample of its peak.
Strain and stress are control modes here, not just recorded channels. The specimen sets the rate, not the crosshead.
Set a crosshead speed and pull. Six procedures stored under your own names, recalled at the Console without a PC.
Nothing to configure at the machine. An overload stops the crosshead instantly and moves it back out of load.
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.
See DAK systems in industry and researchSpecify 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.
