LR5KPLUS Series

Universal Material Tester

 

The Lloyd Instruments LR5KPlus Series advanced, twin column, materials testing machine incorporates an extensive range of features making it ideal for performing complex testing applications up to 5 kN (1124 lbf). The machine is microprocessor controlled and incorporates world proven 32 bit technology for highly accurate load measurement and rapid data acquisition. The integral user interface consists of a side mounted control console with large, positive action membrane switches, allowing complex tests to be performed at the touch of a button. A large LCD display shows test setup information, an extensive choice of user selectable languages and multiple units. The stand alone system is capable of storing up to 600 test results from a choice of 10 programmable test set-ups. It may also be connected via an RS232 output to a personal computer running NEXYGEN MT Software, providing almost unlimited testing capability, and results processing features.

The high stiffness frame incorporates a crosshead guidance system to prevent side loading of the sample under test. The crosshead is driven by twin lead screws and a high precision servo motor and DC servo system to achieve a wide range of speeds throughout the full load range. A series of highly accurate, interchangeable loadcells are available for tension, compression and cycling through zero force measurements. In addition, an extensive range of grips and fixtures are available to support virtually any type of test. The system is ideal for use in production, quality control, educational and research environments.
