(Ametek: Largo, FL) -- A new single-column materials-testing machine from Lloyd Instruments, the LS1, provides enhanced speed, accuracy, and flexibility for all materials-testing applications under 1 kN force. High-precision displacement measurement is ensured by the LS1’s linear guide technology, preloaded ball screws, and advanced software compensation systems.

Industry applications include plastics, packaging, medical devices, automotive, electronics, textiles, rubber and pharmaceuticals. The universal testing machine can be used for tensile and compression testing, friction, tearing, peeling, insertion or extraction, and creep or relaxation measurements in manufacturing, product development, and research.
