ADVANCED ENGINEERING SHOW PREVIEW MECMESIN SET TO SHOWCASE OMNITEST™ MATERIALS TESTER AND VECTORPRO MT MATERIALS TESTING SOFTWARE AT ADVANCED ENGINEERING 2019 Mecmesin, a British company specialising in force, materials and torque testing equipment, will demonstrate their OmniTest materials tester driven by their state-of-the- art VectorPro MT materials testing software at the Advanced Engineering Exhibition in October 2019. Designed to meet the diverse needs of both R&D laboratories and quality assurance environments, this new generation of material testers offers enhanced performance and excellent value for money. On show will be the OmniTest 5 kN single-column tester, which is designed to accommodate tall specimens and has enough travel to measure the tensile strength of the most elastic of materials. Mecmesin will also be demoing a dual- column benchtop OmniTest 25 kN system, designed for testing larger, higher strength samples. The OmniTest is the ideal solution for performing static tensile and compressive tests to measure the mechanical properties of a wide range of materials, including plastics, rubbers and elastomers, metals, composites, fabrics, glass and ceramics. Quantitative results for tests such as tensile strength and compression forces on materials are generated with a high degree of repeatability - essential aspects for effective quality control. The OmniTest has a simple-to-use front panel for selection of test parameters, live load and length readings and precise manual crosshead positioning using the multifunction controller. Coloured LEDs indicate machine status during testing. The OmniTest incorporates state of the art electronics and a range of high-resolution precision Enhanced Load Sensors (ELS). Load accuracy is 0.5% rdg with a resolution of 1:50000, allowing a wider range of tests to be performed without the need to select a different load sensor. The system can be supplied with or without an extensometer depending on the customer’s actual testing requirement.
