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.

Video and Still Picture Capture

Whether for advanced sample failure analysis or presentation of test results, video and stills capture is a feature unique to NEXYGENPlus. Video and/or still pictures can be replayed or shown at specifc points during the test in the graphical display. To utilise these powerful features simply connect your web cam or analogue video camera to your PC.

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

Flexible and Safe Work Area

The machine can be equipped with an expanded work table, a T-slot table or a drip tray. For safety splinter shields with electrical interlocks are available in three different heights. Furthermore temperature chambers can be integrated for your testing needs.

NEW High Speed Testing

The LS5HS high speed model allows closer real life simulation in high speed force measurement applications. It also improves test throughput due to the high return speed of 2032 mm/min (80 in/min)
