FAQs

The NG-SHM Class C Servo Hydraulic Testing Machine was developed to provide long-term precision and stability. However, it is recommended that you conduct regular calibration annually or as required by your quality control system or applicable standards (such as ISO 7500-1 or ASTM E4). Proper usage and scheduled service checks are required for maintaining Class 1 or Class 0.5 calibration accuracy.

NextGen's technical support team provides on-site maintenance and calibration services. In order to reduce downtime, certified technicians can conduct system checks, recalibrations, and adjustments on-site. Remote support and guidance are also accessible to assist with basic maintenance tasks between service intervals, providing additional convenience.

Yes, the NG-SHM Class C – Servo Hydraulic Testing Machine fully complies with ISO 7500-1.

ISO 7500-1 is a recognized international standard that defines verification requirements for force measuring systems for uniaxial testing machines. It guarantees that the equipment provides reliable, traceable, and precise force readings during tension and compression tests. Machines certified under ISO 7500-1 must undergo calibration and verification procedures using standard force-measuring devices to confirm their accuracy over the full range of operations.

The NG-SHM Class C series meets this standard with a force measurement system verified for Class 1 and Class 0.5 accuracy. This makes it suitable for demanding testing applications where data precision and repeatability are essential. ISO 7500-1 compliance assures laboratories and quality control environments that the test results obtained from the machine are valid and in accordance with international testing protocols.

The NG-SHM Class C – Servo Hydraulic Testing Machine is equipped with a standard dual-zone test space, which includes a tension zone at the top and a compression zone at the bottom. This layout allows both test types to be performed on the same machine without major reconfiguration.

By separating the zones, the operator does not have to remove and reinstall fixtures when switching between tension and compression tests. Each zone remains ready for its specific function, simplifying test preparation.

This configuration also reduces setup errors and improves workflow efficiency. Operators can complete more tests in less time, especially in high-throughput environments. The dual-zone structure improves usability while maintaining precise alignment and accurate force application throughout both testing modes.

The NG-SHM Class C – Servo Hydraulic Testing Machine includes automatic limit checking to monitor critical system parameters during operation. These checks prevent damage to the machine and improve operator safety.

The system constantly monitors the crosshead position to avoid movement beyond safe travel limits. It also detects overload conditions where applied forces exceed the rated capacity, which risks both specimens and equipment. Additionally, it checks for abnormal temperature rises, excessive voltage, and other faults that could affect performance or cause equipment failure.

If any limit is exceeded, the machine automatically halts operation or adjusts as needed to protect its internal systems. This built-in monitoring allows for safer testing, extends machine life, and makes certain that every test is conducted within defined and secure operating parameters. It reduces error chances and supports consistent, trouble-free performance over time.
