1000 kN Universal Testing Machine – Precision Testing Power for High-Force Applications

The 1000 kN Universal Testing Machine is a high-capacity testing system designed for accurate and repeatable mechanical testing of materials and components. Engineered for both industrial production lines and advanced research laboratories, this floor-standing machine is built to handle demanding tensile, compression, bend, and shear tests on materials such as metals, concrete, composites, and alloys.

With a force capacity of 1,000 kN (approximately 225,000 lbf), this system is ideal for organizations working in construction, aerospace, defense, automotive, metallurgy, and heavy manufacturing.

Built for Performance, Designed for Flexibility

This robust universal testing system features a dual-column load frame with a high-stiffness design to minimize frame deflection and ensure exceptional accuracy under heavy loads. Whether you're performing standard tensile tests on reinforcing steel or compression tests on concrete cylinders, the 1000 kN model delivers consistent, traceable results.

Key Features:

• High Capacity – 1000 kN Force Rating: Suitable for testing large or high-strength specimens in structural, metal, and geotechnical applications.

• Rigid Load Frame: Dual-column construction resists bending under stress, preserving alignment and test accuracy.

• Modular Platform: Compatible with an extensive range of grips, extensometers, thermal chambers, and load cells.

• Precision Motion Control: Fine control of crosshead speed and force application, enabling slow strain-rate testing and high-speed dynamic tests.

Intelligent Software for Advanced Testing Control

At the core of this system is powerful test control software, providing a streamlined interface for conducting tests, capturing data, and generating reports. Custom test setups can be saved and reused, allowing operators to easily perform repetitive testing to international standards.

• Comprehensive Test Library: Preloaded with methods conforming to ASTM, ISO, DIN, and EN standards.

• Live Graphing and Analysis: View stress-strain behavior in real time, with tools for calculating yield, ultimate strength, modulus, and other key parameters.

• Remote Operation Ready: Optional handheld or network-connected control modules enable remote monitoring and control of testing processes.

• Data Integration: Export results to LIMS, ERP, or other data management platforms.
