Tensile Test Machine / Universal Testing Machine
Manufactured by GRIP Engineering
Easily conduct bending, compression, peeling, shearing, tensile, and other tests with our GRIP Engineering twin column material testing machines.
The big brother to our Single Column Universal Testing Machines, they’re ideal for applications requiring larger grip and sample areas, with the biggest model capable of measuring forces up to 200 kN. The two vertical columns also offer added stability.
Also referred to as Universal Testing Machines (UTMs) because of their versatility, these tensile testers are powered by easy-to-use materials testing software for thorough analysis in research and development, and quality control applications.
All 10 models in this range are engineered in Germany to the highest standards. If that wasn’t enough, they’re also budget-friendly when compared to similar machines from the likes of Instron, Lloyds Instruments, Testometeric, Zwick Roell, and Tinius Olsen, without diminishing in accuracy, functionality, or quality.
Needing tensile tester grips and fixtures? AML Instruments supply an enormous range of fixtures and fittings (over 3000 standard), enabling the universal testing frame to be setup and adapted for many different types of tests. We also have the ability to design bespoke fixtures.
