(Lloyd Instruments: West Sussex, UK) -- A new single-column universal testing machine from Lloyd Instruments provides ultrahigh-speed testing along with flexibility, reliability, and high-accuracy test results for all materials testing applications up to 5 kN supporting test types such as tensile, compression, bend, friction, tearing, peeling, insertion/extraction, creep/relaxation, and many others.

With a test and return speed of 2032 mm/min (80 in/min) the new LS5HS testing machine improves throughput and saves valuable time in production and quality testing functionalities where productivity can be optimized. As the LS5HS universal testing machine is designed to automate workflows, robots can be coupled to the machine to speed up the testing process even further, and automated, repetitive tests can be run in hours rather than days, helping to eliminate operator error, improve operator safety, and reduce cost.
