Designed primarialy for high-capacity tension testing, KX Models feature a large, single test space and fixed height crosshead. Understanding the critical importance of operator safety, these frames incorporate high-quality materials, components, and craftsmanship and are ideal for testing rebar, steel plate, wire rod and strand.

Features

• Ideal system for testing common sized specimen with non-adjustable crosshead design
• Convenient working height and ergonomic controls improve operator productivity and comfort
• Long stroke, high speed actuator is well-suited for tension applications requiring repetitive testing of similar-sized specimens
• Anti-rotation system prevents actuator from rotating during test stroke
• Productivity panel with multiple function keys and displays allows the operator to perform common testing functions and view key test information without returning to the computer
• Powerful, yet user friendly materials testing software provides repeatable and reproducible results for simple to sophisticated testing requirements
• Variable pressure hydraulic power supply provides pressure on demand, reducing heat generation, increasing oil life, and eliminating the need for water cooling 

Range of Models

• 600KX - 600 kN (135,000 lbf)
• 1500KX - 1500 kN (337,500 lbf)

Typical Applications

• Metals - Bar, Plate, Pipe & Tube, Rebar, Structural
