Are you sure of the quality and precision of your material? Are you facing problems in standing out in the industrial world? If the answer is yes then The UTM Machine is the one-stop solution to all your problems. A UTM machine can benefit various industries like automotive, Building, packaging and almost each of them. The product’s durability, elasticity and strength play a major role in creating results. A faulty product can lead to rejections, customer dissatisfaction and a burned brand image. We don't wish that for you and that is why Testronix introduces the UTM also known as Universal Tensile Testing Machine.

As The name suggests the Universal Testing Machine (UTM) is a versatile and efficient tool that is manufactured to test a material for its tensile and compressive strength and flexibility. As a manufacturer, this machine will help you test your products for immunity against the stresses, strains, and pushes they can experience in transit or other steps.

UTM (Universal tensile testing Machine) is designed with cutting-edge technology that adheres to international standards. The machines go through several tests before reaching you ensuring top-notch quality and zero errors. We are a trusted choice for businesses whose products fulfill all the standards.

What is a UTM (Universal Testing Machine)?

A Universal Testing Machine (UTM) is a crucial tool in the material testing industry. The Universal part of the name represents its versatility. You can conduct many tests on the same machine. Tests like tensile strength test and compression Test and flexibility test can be done on this one single machine. You can get three for the price of one!

Let’s dive deep and understand about the physical components of this machine:

The Universal tensile testing Machine is made upon the Twin-column mechanism. It can be used to check the tensile strength, flexibility, and compressive strength of the sample with one apparatus. It is a very simple machine which makes it extremely user-friendly. The physical and technical specifications of the UTM are:

  • Accuracy – ±2% of Load Cell Capacity
  • Travel length of the grips – 25mm – 700mm.
  • Motor – 1/5 HP, – 1440 rpm, 1 phase power supply.
  • Grip-to-grip separation: Min 25mm and max 700mm

Physical Components:

Load Frame: The load frame is the place where the samples are kept for the testing, a specified frame is required for optimized and error-free testing. It grips the specimens and supports the load mechanism.

Crosshead: This is the device that is used for force application on the sample or the specimen. It moves up and down while exerting force, its movement depends on the type of test that is being conducted.

Load Cell: A load cell is an essential component of any testing machine. It measures the amount of force being exerted on a certain sample for a certain time. It plays a crucial role in calculating errorless results.

Grips/Fixtures: These are responsible for holding the samples in place while the test is being conducted to prevent slippage.

Control System: The control system varies from machine to machine, usually computerized. This system allows you to control the machine and make it work according to your testing needs. You can get calculated results, PDF reports and histories in the form of Excel.

How It Works:

The UTM works by applying a controlled power to a test sample until it fizzles. The machine can perform various tests by changing the force, the speed of utilization. For instance, in a tensile test, the example is pulled until it breaks, while in a compression test, the sample is compressed and forced on until it deforms. The data gathered during these tests, for example, the power applied and the displacement that happened, are used to measure the material's mechanical properties.

UTM is versatile, strong, it stands out and never disappoints. So, be the UTM of your industry!
