An interlocked safety shield is available for this universal testing machine and is a strong option for higher-risk test setups. We offer an enclosed aluminum and polycarbonate shield with a door-locking mechanism and software-linked interlock, so machine movement is restricted when the shield is open.

This is especially relevant when your method involves specimen fracture, stored energy in the fixture, or operator access close to the test area. The right shield arrangement should be matched to the specimen size, grip or fixture geometry, and the working space needed for loading and unloading. This frame also includes built-in protection features such as overload control, travel limits, collision protection, and emergency stop functions.

If you’re configuring the system for a more demanding application, we can help match the shield, test space, and grips and fixtures to your setup. You can learn more or request a quote for the exact configuration.
