LS2.5 series
Lloyd Instrument Digital Material Tester LS2.5 series

The LS2.5 is a 2.5 kN / 562 lbf high precision material testingmachine that combined with our extensive range of grips, fixtures,extensometers and software creates a powerful material testing system. The system is equally suited to quality control, educational and R&D environments within a wide range of applications and test types. The system is particularly suited for plastic, rubber and other high elongation materials due to its wide crosshead travel capability.

• Meets or exceeds national and international material test standards
• Intuitive operation and low maintenance
• Small tabletop footprint with a large and flexible work space
• Plug ‘n’ Play, automatic identification of YLC series load cells
• NEXYGENPlus provides seamless data transfer to Microsoft Office®, LIMS and other data management systems

Test Creation

Getting started with NEXYGENPlus is simple, thanks to:

• An extensive built-in library of test methods covering ASTM, DIN, EN, ISO and other standards
• Test wizards for tension, compression, tearing, peeling, friction and flexural tests
• The User Configurable Test facility, ideal for product and component testing, R&D use and specialized testing

New User Configurable Test

The new User Configurable Test enables users to quickly build advanced multi-stage test routines using simple built-in commands.

Test Automation and Customization

To facilitate the increasing use of automation in manufacturing, NEXYGENPlus has been developed with powerful utilities for systems integration. Typical integration projects include:

• Automated sample handling
• In-line testing
• Monitoring of parameters from other sensors, e.g. thermocouples and strain gauges
• Customization of the user interface and other functionality via the integrated Microsoft VBA module
  
  

Hardware Options

• Flexible configuration with grips, fixtures, loadcells, extensometers, and other accessories to meet testing requirements
• optional POGO design allows testing of very large samples with the added benefit of optional elevated and low-temperature testing capability
• hand-held remote or main console for operation
• optional console provides the ability to save up to 600 test results and 10 test set-ups
