Engineering for daily laboratory work
Standalone operation, stored test procedures, self-identifying sensors and integrated safety features support the work of a busy testing laboratory.
Dual mode operation
Run complete tests from the standalone Console, with results displayed on screen or sent directly to a printer. Connect a PC through RS-232 or USB to store, analyse and report results.
Six stored procedures
Save six named test procedures in the Console, each with its own speed, gauge length, pre-load and return behaviour. Select a stored procedure and run it without resetting its parameters.
Safety package
Overload stops the crosshead instantly and moves it back out of load. Settable over-travel stops guard both directions, and the emergency switch latches with a lit indicator until it is deliberately released.
Self-identifying sensors
Every load cell and extensometer carries its own calibration in non-changeable memory. Fit one and the machine knows it — no presets, no trim pots, no drift from voltage or temperature.
Non-contact strain
Measure elongation in films, elastomers and hot specimens without contact using the Video Extensometer, compatible with both Series 9000 and Series 7200.
Test Bench software
Create reusable test procedures with user-defined formulas, extensometer correction through to break and multi-stage sequences with different speeds. Format reports around your customer’s requirements.
Power efficient
Programmable sleep switches off the load cells, extensometers and servo drive when the machine is idle, and wakes with no warm-up on a key press. Power-down mode shuts the system off entirely.
Duo-Tech option
Specify two load cells on one frame: a high-capacity cell in the centre and a lower-capacity station on the right. Test a wider range of specimens without swapping load cells.
Testing applications
Tensile, compression, flexural, peel and adhesion, and pull-out testing for materials including metals, plastics, rubber, textiles and packaging films. Select the grips, fixtures and strain measurement around your specimen and test method.
Explore Series 9000 composite-testing researchEvidence your auditor and your buyer both accept.
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.

Grips and accessories for your test
Select grips, extensometers and temperature chambers around your specimen and test conditions. The Series 9000 supports contact and video extensometry alongside a range of gripping and fixturing options.
Grips
Every Grip. Every Material. Every Test.
Wedge, vice action, hydraulic, pneumatic, capstan and variable-angle peel grips, plus compression anvils, three-point bend and ring testing fixtures.

Extensometers
Capture Every Deformation.
Clip-on to 0.001 mm, high-elongation across an 800 mm span, or the Video Extensometer for strain without touching the specimen.

Temperature chambers
Simulate Reality. Measure Performance.
Integrated temperature chambers recreate extreme operating conditions, ensuring dependable material testing in any environment.
