SYNTAX 300 Heavy-Duty Universal Testing Machine - 300 kN
Manufactured by 3R Industries
This heavy-duty electromechanical test frame can achieve up to 300 kN capacity for high-force testing of metals, welds, and mechanical assemblies.
Suitable for intensive laboratory and industrial use, it delivers high stiffness, precise control, and a broad speed range for static and low frequency dynamic applications.
The generous test space provides crucial flexibility by eliminating the need to outsource testing of large components.
