Series 7200
Universal Testing Machine
Closed-loop servo control for tension, compression and flexure — specified for R&D and certification work where the number has to withstand scrutiny.
- Range
- upto600 kN

- Class 0.5
Specify the exact force your work demands.
From a single kilogram of film to sixty tonnes of structural steel — one control architecture, one software environment, one accuracy class.
Lite5 – 50 kN
The everyday workhorse of a busy laboratory. Polymers, elastomers, textiles, composites and light metals at Class 0.5 — table-top or floor.
- Capacity
- 5 kN
- Accuracy class
- 0.5 (ISO 7500-1)
- Load measurement
- ±0.5% of reading
- Load cell overload
- Safe to 150%, protected to 300%
1100 mm of crosshead travel as standard, with column spacing, footprint and supply rating confirmed against your table-top or floor plan before despatch.
Dimensions are nominal. Final figures are confirmed against your configuration before manufacture — request a general-arrangement drawing with your quotation.
Extra-high and extra-wide load frames, and drive systems for higher or lower speeds, are built to order — tell our engineers what the test requires.
Precision you can defend, test after test.
Capability that shows in the result rather than on the datasheet — strain read from the specimen itself, control fine enough for the most fragile sample, and acquisition quick enough to record failure as it actually occurred.
Follow Me mode
The crosshead moves as naturally as your hand. Push for speed, ease off for precision. Position, load and align the specimen without breaking your workflow or reaching for a control panel.
Safe Jog mode
Jog at full speed without watching the load cell. The crosshead stops the instant it senses contact, so a fast approach cannot cost you a specimen, a set of grips, or the cell itself.
Sample protection
Clamping a specimen loads it before the test has begun, and that pre-load carries into your result. Set a threshold and the crosshead holds the specimen below it while the grips close.
Sub-micron positioning
Position the crosshead with sub-micron precision for the most delicate test setups. Smooth, responsive control gives you the confidence to align sensitive specimens with exceptional accuracy.
Touch console
Configure, run and read the test at the machine. Operators stay with the specimen instead of walking to a workstation.
Wavemaker programming
Every test is different. Combine ramps, holds, cyclic loading and sine profiles into one multi-stage method that adapts to what you actually need to measure.
400 kHz acquisition
Fast enough to record the whole failure event rather than a sampled approximation of its peak. Brittle fracture and sudden yield are captured as they happened.
Control modes
Closed-loop control in four modes, switchable within a single method — ramp on position, hold on load, fail on strain.

Every method your customers specify, and every calibration standard your procurement team will be asked to document.
Built to run any published method
Tensile, compression, flexural or cyclic — to ASTM, ISO, BS, DIN, JIS or EN. The machine is configured to the method, not the method to the machine.

Configured around your specimen, not the average one.
A result is only as good as the grip that holds the specimen, the extensometer that reads its strain, and the environment it endures. All three are specified alongside the machine, so the load path is right from the very first test.
