Engineering for every stage of the test
From specimen positioning and protection to test programming and data capture, the Series 7200 brings its capabilities together in one testing platform.
Follow Me mode
Guide the crosshead with your hand on the upper grip. Push harder for speed and ease off for fine positioning, keeping specimen setup at the machine without 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
Set a load threshold during gripping. As the grips close, the crosshead keeps the specimen below that threshold, preventing clamping preload from carrying into the test result.
Sub-micron positioning
Position the crosshead with sub-micron precision for delicate test setups. Smooth, responsive movement gives you fine control when aligning sensitive specimens.
Touch console
Configure, run and read the test at the machine, with the controls beside the specimen.
Wavemaker programming
Build a method around your test. Combine ramps, holds, cyclic loading and sine profiles in one multi-stage sequence.
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
Switch between closed-loop position, load, stress and strain control within a single method. For example, ramp on position, hold on load and fail on strain.
More operating capabilities
Dynamic stiffness compensation
Dynamic stiffness compensation holds effective frame deflection below 0.1 mm at full rated load.
Pause and resume
Pause a running test to examine the specimen or make an adjustment, then resume.
Jog modes
Four jog speeds, from full machine speed down to 0.001 mm.
Software and results
Follow the test on screen, examine the result and keep supporting files with the method. The Series 7200 brings live displays, analysis and synchronised video into the testing workflow.
Live displays
Follow live graphs and captured test stages across seven user-defined live screens, from specimen setup through the test.
Analysis for your test method
Young’s modulus, continuous or discontinuous curve type, yield properties to suit the curve, multiple peaks, peel and tear for adhesion, k and n values, and area under the curve for energy.
Synchronised video
Connect live video with the test data. Select a point on the graph to see the corresponding moment in the test.
Reference files
Keep reference PDFs and videos attached to the test, alongside the method.
