Universal material testing machine (tensile tester) is used to test the mechanical strength of materials. Including but not limited to textile, leather, rubber and plastic, cable, metal, paper and other materials, widely used in clothing textile, shoe & bag, electrical, packaging, chemical, hardware, geotechnical, construction, automotive, aviation and other manufacturing fields, including tensile, compression, bending, shearing, stripping, bursting, tearing, elasticity and other testing. It is the basic equipment for quality management, incoming inspection, physical property test, mechanical research and material development. Test force, sensor, fixture and software can be customized according to industry, material, range and precision requirements.
The following is only an example of what an electronic fabric tensile machine can do, by pairing the main functions and standards, to see how strong the strength machine indeed.
