X100-FT - Fibre Testing
Dedicated fibre test model based on the X100-1 Universal Testing Machine, complete with pneumatically operated grips for testing natural or synthetic single fibres according to BS EN ISO 5079 or BS 3411. Featuring full computer control and precision AC servo drive system, the universal design allows the machine to be easily adapted for other test types (tensile, compression etc.) using Testometric’s extensive range of grips and fixtures.
Machine Software
All machines are supplied with our comprehensive WinTest-Analysis EC software package, allowing full PC control and the ability to create and store complex test routines.
Made to Measure
