In the realm of material science and quality assurance, the Computer Controlled Electronic Universal Testing Machine stands as an indispensable instrument for evaluating mechanical properties across a vast spectrum of materials. Mikrosize Precision Instrument Co., Ltd., a trusted name in the testing equipment industry, offers the UTM-E100, UTM-E200, and UTM-E300 series—a family of electronic universal testing machines engineered to deliver exceptional accuracy, versatility, and operational safety.
Rugged Construction for Reliable Testing
The foundation of any reliable universal material testing machine lies in its structural integrity. The UTM-E series main frame adopts a rigid floor-standing gantry structure, composed of an upper crossbeam, a movable crossbeam, and a workbench connected by precision columns and ball screws. This design ensures exceptional stability and reliability even under maximum load conditions. The movable crossbeam is manufactured from a single casting, providing the strength to bear substantial forces without deformation—a critical attribute for precision material testing applications.
The machine’s dual-zone configuration enables both tensile and compression tests to be conducted simultaneously, with the upper section dedicated to tensile testing and the lower section serving compression testing. This thoughtful design maximizes workflow efficiency in busy material testing labs.
Advanced Drive and Control Systems
At the heart of this computer-controlled testing system is a servo motor drive coupled with a high-precision load sensor, a dedicated independent controller, and sophisticated measurement and control software. This combination enables precise control of the equipment across a wide range of testing scenarios.
The UTM-E100 model delivers a maximum test force of 100kN, while the UTM-E200 and UTM-E300 offer capacities of 200kN and 300kN respectively. The test speed range spans from 0.001 to 500mm/min, accommodating both slow, controlled deformation studies and rapid production-line quality checks. Force units are selectable from kN, N, kgf, and lbf, while displacement units include mm, cm, dm, m, in, ft, and mil, ensuring compatibility with international standards.
Comprehensive Testing Capabilities
The versatility of the electronic universal testing machine extends across multiple industries and material types. In the metals sector, it supports raw material quality control, processing technology verification, and finished product performance testing. For non-metallic materials, the machine handles testing of plastic and rubber products, textiles and leather products, as well as paper and packaging materials. Construction and building materials testing, scientific research experiments, and teaching demonstrations further expand the application scope.
Standard tensile and compression fixtures are provided with the system, and custom fixtures can be manufactured to meet specific user requirements. Optional accessories include bending fixtures, peeling fixtures, puncture fixtures, electronic extensometers, and large deformation extensometers. The fixture design incorporates a rotating locking mechanism for stable clamping under large experimental forces, and a quick-release pin system enables rapid fixture changes—all fixtures share the same pin size for convenience.
Intelligent Software and Data Management
The dedicated software platform transforms raw test data into actionable insights. It automatically calculates critical parameters including maximum force, average force, maximum deformation, tensile strength, and yield strength. The software generates real-time curves in multiple modes—force-time, stress-time, strain-time, and displacement-time—providing comprehensive visualization of material behavior during testing.
A multi-level test standard library includes common international standards such as GB, ASTM, DIN, ISO, and JIS. Users can add or delete standards according to their requirements, and can even design custom calculation formulas. The system supports customizable test report templates with export options in Word, PDF, and Excel formats. Software compatibility extends across Windows 7, Windows 10, and Windows 11 operating systems.
Safety and Protection Systems
Operator safety and equipment protection are paramount in the UTM-E series design. Multiple protection devices include mechanical travel switches, an emergency stop button with a highly visible indicator light, and overload protection. Upper and lower limit devices prevent overshooting and fixture damage, with adjustable limit positions to accommodate different test configurations.
Technical Specifications at a Glance
The load accuracy rating is Grade 1, with Grade 0.5 available as an option. The testing range covers 2% to 100% of full scale, with an optional 0.4% to 100% range. Load resolution reaches 1/500,000 of full scale, ensuring precise measurements across the entire testing spectrum. The system employs three closed-loop control modes—force, stress, strain, and displacement—providing exceptional flexibility for complex testing protocols.
For laboratories and quality control facilities seeking a high-precision electronic universal testing machine that combines rugged construction, intelligent software, and comprehensive safety features, the Mikrosize UTM-E series represents a compelling solution for mechanical properties testing across metals, non-metals, and advanced materials
