Benefits
- Non contacting with digital placement of specimen gauge marks supporting an automated process, reducing the impact of operator influence on measurement outcomes.
- Unparalleled accuracy — meets or exceeds ISO 9513 Class 0.5 and ASTM E83 Class B-1.
- Operating distance of 250mm to 350mm enables the U200 to accommodate different specimens and test types.
- Cost-effective — available at a comparable price to a Clip-on to reduce testing costs and drive faster ROI.
- Reduces test throughput times and complexity.
- Only requires simple specimen marking consisting of either filled circles, rings, or speckle pattern.
- Operates in harsh environments, challenging light conditions, and temperature chambers with no loss of functionality.
- Tests highly fragile specimens without impacting them.
- Avoids introducing stress concentrations, such as damage from knife-edge contact.
- Intuitive design — get up and running with four easy steps: Install, Mark, Align, and Measure.
- Laser alignment guides, status indicator lights, and a flexible operating distance all assist the operator during setup and use.
- Easy to understand feedback from both the Vector software interface and Vector itself provides immediate confirmation of the state of the module.
- Extensometer calibration service available.
