Mechanical Testing - UniVert

Mechanical testing when and where you need it for tension, compression and bending testing

The UniVert is ideal for a wide range of mechanical testing applications and its small footprint and affordable price allows users to have testing capabilities when and where they are needed. The easy-to-use software and interchangeable components make the system ideal to use without the need for extensive training or supervision.

The system is capable of tension, compression, and bending testing at forces up to 1kN. A wide range of grips and fixtures are available to accommodate different specimens and testing modes.

Key Features
