Test Stands

Dillon Test Stands

Test stands help control two key variables that can affect testing results.

Off axis forces - Stands maintain forces in line with the load cell axis
Speed variations - Stands reduce 'force surges' common in handheld testing

Dillon Force testing systems often consist of a test stand, force gauge and fixtures/accessories. This flexible approach provides the most cost effective system to match your application.

Two models available the Manual CT and the Motorized GTS-1000.

Mecmesin Test Stands

Manual Test Stands

When fitted with a digital force gauge, a manual test stand affords a high degree of precision. It allows accurate positioning of the crosshead for tensile or compressive testing applications which require measurement of force at a specific distance.

Manual stands are also commonly used in simple pull-off tests where quick comparative checks are required and budgets are limited.

Key Features

Robust construction
Easy to use
Lightweight and portable
Ideal for quick one-off checks
Accept digital height scales for load / displacement tests
Fine positioning of crosshead

Two manual stands are available; the handwheel operated MDD and the lever operated LCP

Motorized Test Stands

The new MultiTest range of compression & tension testers features test stands which are manufactured using a rigid aluminium base casting. The test stands have a fabricated metal housing, thus providing rugged instruments with a high degree of rigidity and strength.

The basic MultiTest stands, when used in conjunction with a Mecmesin digital force gauge and gripping fixtures, form the basis of compressive or tensile testers able to meet the requirements of many simple force measurement applications.

Console-controlled Test Frames

The console-controlled range of MultiTest-x test frames display load, displacement and speed. Simple test programs can be created and stored.

The MultiTest-x has been designed specifically to meet the requirement for ease of routine use in QC laboratories, or production environments which are often not ideal areas for using a PC.

Key Features

Compact design with base-mounted LCD display and control unit
Storage of up to 30 test procedures and a variety of calculations
Robust design, suitable for use in production areas
Pass/Fail analyses
Data upload to PC or datalogger via RS232 port
CE marked
Control features include: run to load/displacement/time/break, cycling between loads/displacements, loadholding, dynamic zeroing...
Calculations include: average/maximum/minimum load, load at break, load setpoints, displacement setpoints, stiffness...

Computer-controlled Test Frames

The MultiTest-i range of compressive and tensile testing frames are fully computer-controlled by new generation Emperor software, allowing sophisticated test procedures and analyses to be developed.

The Vortex-i, a torsion testing system, is also controlled by Emperor.
