tOverview

The MultiTest-dV is a superior motorised tensile and compression tester offering outstanding value. Designed for precision-controlled compression and tension testing the MultiTest-dV delivers easy to use controls, backed by sophisticated electronics, make it the ideal choice for a wide range of routine testing.

It improves greatly on the variability encountered with manual testers where tension and compression are applied by hand at varying speeds. By applying force at a constant speed, whilst gripping the sample in a uniform manner, the motorised MultiTest-dV significantly enhances the repeatability of test results.

Operators can perform routine batch testing with excellent throughput, minimising testing time, and benefit from the convenience associated with our motorised force testers.

The MultiTest-dV is available in two different configurations:

Simple force measurement

Test to a target displacement limit or, when using any one of the Mecmesin range of digital Force Gauges to a load limit or break.

Add VectorPro Lite software to a MultiTest-dV with AFG, for data acquisition, plotting of graphs, calculation of results, plus reporting and exporting of test data.

Sophisticated materials tensile measurement

Fit a dedicated ELS loadcell and connect up to VectorPro MT software to use your MultiTest-dV as an entry-level materials tester.

Control your whole test sequence with simple, step-by-step programmes. Perform both standard calculations like peak, load at displacement and more complex calculations such as Youngs Modulus, and offset yield strength

Features

Test frame
The MultiTest-dv is a versatile single-column, motorised tester designed for ease-of-use by operators of all levels. There are 3 models in the range with ratings of 0.5 kN, 1 kN and 2.5 kN and offering a crosshead travel up to 1200 mm (47").
Each occupies minimal bench space and are ideal for applying tensile and compressive forces in a variety of applications.
It delivers superior performance via its control panel and multifunctional control wheel, which allows the precise selection of test parameters such as speed and target force/displacement. Coloured LEDs clearly indicate the machine status during testing and operators can effortlessly follow the progress of the test from the force & displacement panel.
For more in-depth recording and analysis of test data, the MultiTest-dV can be connected via its USB output port to VectorPro Lite advanced data-acquisition and plotting software package.
Adjustable safety limit switches are fitted to ensure that specimens cannot be stretched too far or grips crushed together.
The MultiTest-dV is fitted with a dovetailed crosshead for quick and easy interchange of force gauges or loadcells. Grips and fixtures can be rapidly fitted to the anvil plate which is pre-drilled with threaded holes for easy connection.
With each model weighing around 25 kg (55 lbs) its compact design and small footprint make it an ideal bench-top tester for use in the quality-control laboratory or production area.
Force Gauges
The Touchscreen Force Gauge (VFG) and Advanced Force Gauge (AFG) are self-contained devices comprising an internal loadcell and their own display.
There are 10 models ranging in capacity from 2.5 to 2500 N (0.5 - 500 lbf) each featuring an impressive measurement accuracy of ±0.1% of full-scale.
The gauge is positioned on the crosshead of the test frame via a dovetailed fixing and continuously measures & displays tension/compression force, whilst simultaneously capturing the maximum peak readings in the background.
Loadcells
The Enhanced Load Sensor (ELS) is positioned on the crosshead of the test frame and communicates with the MultiTest-dV for precision testing of materials when combined with VectorPro MT software.
Ranging in capacity from 2.5 to 2500 N (0.5 - 500 lbf) the ELS loadcells are fully interchangeable, their individual calibration characteristics are immediately recognised by the MultiTest-dV. This ensures that you have the optimum selection to meet all your materials testing needs without the need for lengthy set-up.
Measurement accuracy is an outstanding ±0.5% of reading.
Gripping fixtures
Holding your test specimen in place without it slipping is essential to obtaining repeatable results. Mecmesin have an extensive range of grips and fixtures to hold a variety of components and materials. They include wedge grips and vice grips for tensile testing, compression plates and bend jigs, friction tables plus many more.
