Designed for high-capacity tension, compression, bend/flex, and shear testing, the DX Models feature a dual test space and single footprint. Understanding the critical importance of operator safety, these frames incorporate high-quality materials, components, and craftsmanship and are ideal for testing metals, wire rod, fasteners, concrete, and wood.

Features and Benefits
Single footprint saves valuable floor space — load frame, hydraulic power supply, and controller combined in a single package
Fully open-front grip design improves operator safety and throughput, and allows a limited number of jaw faces to cover a large range of specimen sizes
Two test space design makes changing between tension and compression testing safer and more efficient — no need to remove heavy fixtures
Convenient working height and ergonomic controls increase operator productivity and comfort
Ergonomic handset with a fine position adjustment wheel, two programmable softkeys, start, stop and return functions, and variable speed jog
Powerful, yet user-friendly materials testing software provides repeatable and reproducible results for simple to sophisticated testing requirements
Variable pressure hydraulic power supply provides pressure on demand, reducing heat generation, increasing oil life, and eliminating the need for water cooling
