TDX Real-Time Test Controller
Manufactured by Life Testing Machines
The all-in-one design of the TDX controller series enables them to be used in combination with LiTeM electromechanical (EM), electrodynamic (ED), and torsional (TE‑M) testing systems without the need for external drivers.
Supplied with an integrated 1‑channel and 2‑channel driver respectively, it’s available in two versions:
- TDX-1 for single-axis applications.
- TDX-2 for biaxial applications.
Both models can manage static, cyclic, and fatigue tests in Force, Displacement, or Incremental Encoder control modes, as well as reliably manage a wide range of actuators and motors. This ensures precise control across testing applications like constant amplitude block fatigue testing and stiffness testing.

Benefits
- Designed and assembled in Italy, integrating the highest‑quality components available on the market.
- Engineered to deliver accurate and reliable structural mechanical testing.
- Single-axis and dual-axis versions available. The dual‑axis version meets the more complex requirements of multi‑axial testing.
- Additional four read-only analog input channels (synchronous with the active axis or axes) complete the potential of this controller.
- Equipped with an ultra‑high‑speed FPGA control board, required for acquiring sensor signals and closing the PID control loop, which is executed at a frequency of 1000 Hz.
- Integrated Real‑Time Processor capable of generating different waveforms to be executed by the connected actuator or motor.
- Supplied with SX software suite, enabling the execution of static, quasi‑static, cyclic, and fatigue tests with outstanding simplicity and efficiency.
- All controllers are designed to interface directly with LiTeM testing systems, but they can also be used for revamping and upgrading of existing test machines.
- Constant amplitude block fatigue testing: For the determination of the Palmgren-Miner relation and of the actual damage value.
- Constant amplitude fatigue testing: Determine the life under cyclic/repeated loads for any type of component (Wöhler curves).
- Dynamic testing: With sine, pulsed square wave with settable duty cycle or constant speed triangle wave (e.g. for characterisation of suspensions/shock absorbers).
- Reproduction of load curves: Defined by the user during design phase, simulation of seismic tests.
- Static yield/Failure testing: On composite materials and dental implants, etc.;
- Stiffness testing: On single and assembled components, metal, plastic and composite material products, 3D-printed and biological material products;
- Variable amplitude fatigue testing: Using the reproduction/simulation in the laboratory of real world load curves acquired on-site.
