F SERIES STANDARD COMPRESSION MACHINES

Versatile, durable and dependable testing machines with time-tested design and performance.

FHS SERIES COMPRESSION MACHINES

For demanding testing environments – High Stiffness machines are 3X to 4X more rigid than conventional frames. Fully enclosed test chamber for maximum debris and dust control.

INTERNATIONAL METRIC COMPRESSION TESTING MACHINES

Metric Compression Testing machines are built to exacting specifications with rigid welded steel KN frames. Available from 150KN to 5000KN. Select from multiple languages for the control unit user interface.

HIGH CAPACITY COMPRESSION MACHINES

This series is specifically designed for larger specimens and/or high-strength materials. Available in two frame types with the highest rigidity to minimize frame elongation influence.
