Lloyd Instruments LD Series Universal Test Machine

Capacities:

• 5 kN (1,124 lbf)
• 10 kN (2,248 lbf)

The cost effective LD Series testing machines are excellent for testing applications such as plastic, rubber, wood, packaging, construction materials, metals and automotive parts. They can be mounted above a floor standing compression cage for large sample or complete assembly testing.

The powerful LD Series testing machines from Lloyd Instruments combine high performance, ease of use and superior flexibility. These universal materials testing machines are ideal for testing applications up to 100 kN (22480 lbf) and are designed for both routine quality control testing, automated testing and for performing complex multi-stage testing.

All LD Series testing machines feature an extra-large working area of 452 mm (17.8 in) and crosshead travel up to 1070 mm (42 in) extendable to 1669 mm (65.7 in).

The high stiffness frame incorporates a crosshead guidance system to prevent side loading of the test sample.

Interchangeable pancake load cells ensure high accuracy and optimize the test machines for tension, compression and cycling through to zero force measurements.

An advanced electrical design couples an AC drive with preloaded ball screws for better displacement accuracy.

The flexible NEXYGENPlus software interacts with Excel and Word, offering you the possibility of automatically transferring your test results directly into your own corporate templates.

The LD Series testing machines come in five bench mounted models: the LD5 (up to 5 kN/1124 lbf), LD10 (up to 10 kN/2248 lbf), LD30 (up to 30 kN/6744 lbf), LD50 (up to 50 kN/11240 lbf) and LD100 (up to 100 kN/22480 lbf).

LD-Series-SPEC   

Features

• Superior Quality is ensured by using the finest components and assembling the LD Series at our own facilities in the United States.
• Modular Design featuring inter-changeable grips enables use across any industry regardless of sample size, shape, or material.
• CANBUS Interface provides fast, accurate communication between the LD Series and add-on accessories like extensometers and temperature chambers.
• Safety is a priority, and all machines conform to the CE Machinery Directive. Hardware and software overload protection can be configured independently.
• Pancake Load Cells improve accuracy at the cross axis and help increase work area.
• AC Drive offers a range of speeds throughout the full load range and high travel resolution.
• Preloaded Ball Screws ensure better displacement accuracy.

Nexygen Plus 4 Software

NEXYGENPlus4 software is the hub of Lloyd Instruments’ materials testing sys-tems. It features an extensive library of pre-set test methods that meet domestic and international standards such as ASTM, DIN, EN and ISO along with advanced user configurable test set-ups ideal for product and component testing, R&D use and specialized testing. Easy-to-use NEXYGENPlus4 software allows an operator to control and monitor all aspects of the system from a single front end, providing fast, reliable, accurate testing and data analysis.

Unique to the NEXYGENPlus4 software is that all available standard modules and reporting functions are included in the software price.

• Advanced Multi-Stage Testing is enabled through the User Configurable Test that allows you to quickly build advanced multi-stage test routines using simple built-in commands.
• Extensive Test Library is included, so you won’t have to purchase extra modules as your testing needs change over time. All tests meet international standards such as ASTM, DIN, EN, and ISO.
• Multi-Lingual functionality gives you the flexibility to work in a number of different languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Danish, Turkish, Chinese, Russian, and Polish.
• Easy Export to Windows and Excel allow you to import data to company or preset NEXYGENPlus4 templates. Data can be transferred automatically without operator intervention
• Automated Workflows including automatic reading of sample dimensions and data export of batch tests to Excel are standard features.
• Video and Still Captureprovide additional analysis features allowing you to examine a sample after the test has been carried out.
• Traceability and Data Integrity is supported by electronic signatures and a configurable feature restricting user access rights
• Test Wizards make tension, compression, tearing, peeling, friction, and flexural testing a breeze.
