[:en]MTS Criterion electromechanical universal test systems leverage decades of MTS mechanical testing experience, technology leadership, and unsurpassed global support to provide precision and repeatable monotonic testing in a full spectrum of laboratory and industrial settings.
Versatile, high-performance MTS Criterion systems perfectly complement MTS dynamic test solutions to help meet the unique and evolving needs of pioneering materials researchers and developers. Highly reliable, and competitively priced, they are also ideal for meeting the quality and uptime demands of high-volume manufacturing and product development environments. It integrates high-resolution MTS controls, a broad portfolio of electromechanical and static hydraulic load frames, and a complete complement of high-quality testing and accessories.
These highly reliable and easy-to-operate testing systems use MTS high-speed, low-vibration electromechanical controllers plus closed-loop digital controls for load testing and position control in force capacities ranging from 1 N to 600 kN . MTS TestSuite is easy to use and you get a large and growing library of test templates that extends the usefulness of these systems in a wide range of applications, including tension, compression, bending/flexure and shear tests on specimens such as: metals, composition, polymers, construction materials, wood and paper products, biomedical products, fibers and textiles, adhesives and coatings, foam, and more.[:]
