DUAL FRAME ACCESSORY MODEL

Upgrade your material testing setup with our Flexural Frame Add-On Accessory, designed to seamlessly integrate a second frame with your primary material testing machine. Featuring a selectable valve, this option allows technicians to efficiently toggle between frames while utilizing the primary testing machine’s HPU and Control unit, providing a cost-effective alternative to purchasing two separate machines. Unlike the typical Flexural Beam Accessory installed on your primary testing machine that requires heavy, cumbersome, and time-consuming installation and removal, this solution enhances safety and convenience.

Streamline your operations and expand your testing capabilities without compromising budget or technician well-being.

LABORATORY FLEXURAL MACHINE

The stand-alone model offers an ideal balance of stability, precision, and convenience, making it a reliable choice for flexural strength testing in laboratory environments. Designed with user-friendly controls positioned at working height, it ensures comfortable and efficient operation for technicians. 

Its versatile loading options, including center- and third-point configurations, provide adaptability for a wide range of testing needs, all within a compact and durable design built to enhance accuracy and performance.
