Vector U70 Uniaxial Non-Contact Extensometer

Vector U70 Uniaxial Non-Contact Extensometer

Manufactured by Imetrum

The Vector U70 non-contact extensometer is designed for testing small to medium specimens, with a gauge length of 10-50mm and widths larger than 2mm.

It combines adaptive AI capabilities with optical hardware, automating the strain-capturing process and improving operator safety, measurement accuracy, and data consistency while lowering test throughput times and complexity.

Benefits

  • Non-contacting with digital placement of specimen gage marks supporting an automated process.
  • Delivers uniaxial strain measurement over a wide range of materials, gauge lengths, and set-ups that all meet or exceed ISO 9513 Class 0.5 and ASTM E83 Class B-1.
  • Operating distance of 280 to 320mm.
  • Cost-effective — available at a comparable price to a Clip-on to reduce testing costs and drive faster ROI.
  • 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.
  • Operates in harsh environments, challenging light conditions, and temperature chambers with no loss of functionality.
  • Tests highly fragile specimens without impacting them.
  • Avoid introducing stress concentrations, such as damage from knife-edge contact
  • Various marking options are available, depending on the material. These options include rings and speckles.
  • Lightweight operation and convenient integration.
  • Easy to understand feedback from both the Vector software interface and Vector itself provides immediate confirmation of the state of the module.
