SYNTECH 1600 Ultra-High-Capacity Electromechanical Universal Testing Machine – 1600 kN

Manufactured by 3R Industries

If you need an electromechanical universal testing machine (UTM) for long term, heavy-duty laboratory operation, look no further than the SYNTECH 1600.

With a seismic maximum capacity of 1600 kN, it’s designed for very high-force testing of large structural components like anchor chains and reinforcement bars.

It combines a four-column load frame with multiple preloaded ball screws and the RIGI-DRIVE II transmission to deliver unparalleled precision and rigidity.

Benefits

  • High-efficiency conical gearboxes deliver backlash-free motion and high torque capacity.
  • High-power brushless motor with encoder and fail-safe brake; speed range 0.005 µm/min to ~200-300 mm/min (depending on configuration) allow precise control of large specimens.
  • Force channel resolution of 10 million counts with Class 1/0.5 accuracy, position accuracy Class 0.2.
  • Large working space — Crosshead travel up to 1800 mm (standard) or more; test width ~850 mm. Option to go larger if needed.
  • Durable construction — Machine-tool grade bearings, stainless-steel cladding and integrated safety guards, long-term durability with minimal maintenance.
  • Tensile tester calibration service available.
  • Choose from a wide range of universal testing machine accessories, including grips, environmental chambers, and extensometers.
  • A full range of load cells from 1N up to the capacity of the frame are available.

Software

This tensile tester comes supplied with comprehensive and user-friendly Synt-X software, enabling operators to move quickly from setup to execution, while ensuring consistency and repeatability. With features like pre-configuration of products and specimens, and automatic generation of customised test reports, it helps users focus on their tests by reducing setup time and minimise operator errors.

The Synt-X test control software is designed, developed, and maintained in-house by 3R’s engineering team, guaranteeing long-term compatibility and continuous improvement for routine production testing, advanced research, and standard-compliant mechanical tests.
