NG-EML Series C – Dual-Column Universal Testing Machine (5–50 kN)

We provide installation and operator training for this UTM. For this system, installation service can include placing and connecting the machine, mounting the ordered fixtures and transducers, and verifying that the instrument is operating correctly before handoff.

Operator training is centered on the supplied machine and covers core safety, major system components, basic software use, startup and shutdown, and review of the accessories included with your order. The standard introductory training is structured for up to three operators, which helps your team get productive quickly on routine tensile, compression, and flexural work.

Need to confirm the right rollout for your lab? learn more about this system or request a quote, and we can align installation, fixtures, and operator training with your specimens, methods, and workflow.

This system is built with layered protection for overload, overtravel, collision, and emergency stop conditions. We include a hardware-level stop at 103% of rated force, programmable travel limits backed by physical end-stop switches, automatic collision stopping based on live force and motion feedback, and dedicated emergency stop buttons that immediately halt machine movement.

The control system also supervises voltage, current, motor temperature, crosshead limits, and sensor range to help prevent overrange events during setup and testing. For applications that call for added operator separation, an interlocked safety enclosure is also available to restrict motion when the guard is opened.

To align the safety setup with your specimens, fixtures, and test method, learn more or request a quote. If you share your specimen type and fixture arrangement, we can help match the right protection package.

Calibration is handled by channel, not as a single blanket adjustment. The force channel is verified through the installed load cell, the displacement channel is checked through the machine’s position feedback system, and any extensometer is calibrated as its own strain-measurement device. This system uses calibrated load cells, encoder-based position feedback, and synchronized force, displacement, and extensometer inputs through the controller and software.

For ongoing support, we can perform calibration during installation or as part of routine service. Force verification for this platform is aligned with ASTM E4 and ISO 7500 requirements, while extensometer verification follows the applicable extensometer calibration standards. The displacement side depends on whether your method uses crosshead travel or a dedicated measurement device, as well as your reporting and audit requirements. Traceable calibration certificates can be issued for the channels being verified.

To align this with your testing method, learn more about the system or contact us to confirm the right calibration scope for your force range, displacement approach, and extensometer setup.

This universal testing machine is designed for tensile, compression, flexural, and cyclic testing in the 5 kN to 50 kN range. That covers common universal testing work such as pull testing, crush testing, bend testing, modulus evaluation, yield measurement, tensile strength, and failure-load measurement across metals, plastics, composites, elastomers, foams, and other engineered materials.

The exact test setup is driven by the installed load cell, specimen geometry, and the grips and fixtures used on the frame. With the right accessories and GenTest software, this system can be configured for standard tensile, compression, 3-point and 4-point flexural, cyclic, and custom step-based procedures, including sequences built around ramp, hold, and waveform control.

To align this with your testing method, learn more or request a quote, and share your material, specimen size, and test standard so we can match the right frame, fixtures, and software setup.

Our GenTest software supports the full testing workflow in one interface. For test setup, it gives you preloaded method templates for tensile, compression, flexural, cyclic, and custom procedures, along with guided configuration, machine control, and live acquisition of force, displacement, strain, stress, time, control mode, and active test steps.

For analysis and reporting, it provides live force-displacement, stress-strain, and time-based graphing with zoom, axis scaling, curve overlays, and post-test review. It also supports automatic calculations, post-test recalculation, batch comparison, export of raw and processed results, custom reports, test logs, and user permission controls for traceable lab and production workflows.

This universal testing machine is backed by a comprehensive warranty package that begins on the delivery date, including a minimum 12-month warranty for the instrument. After the warranty period, we continue to support the system through our Lifetime Product Support Advantage, so you still have access to long-term technical help as your testing needs evolve.

Post-purchase support includes remote troubleshooting, on-site assistance through certified regional service partners when needed, installation and operator training, repair guidance, annual calibration support for systems that require it, and continued supply of spare parts and accessories. Consumables are separate from lifetime service coverage, and warranty support applies to normal use and maintenance conditions.

If you want to confirm the best support plan for your lab, learn more or contact us. We can help you align warranty coverage, training, calibration, and long-term service with your exact test setup.

This universal testing machine is available in both single-space and dual-space configurations, with three frame height options: standard, extended 300 mm, and extended 600 mm. That gives you flexibility to match the frame to longer specimens, taller fixture stacks, or applications that need more vertical travel.

Across those configurations, crosshead travel ranges from 900 mm to 1600 mm. Standard frames are available with 1000 mm travel in single-space or 900 mm in dual-space. The extended 300 mm versions increase that to 1300 mm or 1200 mm, and the extended 600 mm versions increase it again to 1600 mm or 1500 mm. Test width remains 420 mm across these frame options, while overall machine dimensions can change with installed grips, fixtures, load cells, shielding, and other accessories.

If you’re comparing frame layouts for your application, learn more or request a quote. If you share your specimen length, fixture stack-up, and test method, we can help you select the right frame height and test space.

The handheld controller makes daily operation faster at the test frame. It lets your operator jog the crosshead, align the specimen, start or stop a test, return to home, and view key machine status without stepping back to a separate computer. If pneumatic grips are installed, the same handheld interface can also manage grip open and close functions during setup, which helps streamline loading and alignment.

The optional touchscreen PC turns the machine into a more self-contained UTM workstation. It brings full GenTest control to the frame, so operators can launch methods, follow test sequences, review live graphs, analyze results, and generate reports directly at the machine. It is a strong fit when you want less reliance on an external desktop or laptop, easier operator interaction, and convenient USB connectivity for data export, printing, or barcode-based workflows.

If you’re deciding between a handheld-focused setup and a fully integrated operator station, learn more or request a quote. If you share your test method, specimen handling flow, and reporting needs, we can help configure the right control interface for your lab.

This universal testing machine is available in six force capacity options: 5 kN, 10 kN, 20 kN, 25 kN, 30 kN, and 50 kN. That gives you a practical range for medium-force tensile testing, compression testing, flexural testing, and other general materials test methods without stepping up to a larger frame than the application requires.

Capacity selection should match your expected peak load, specimen geometry, grips or fixtures, and whether you want headroom for future test programs. If your application is likely to reach or exceed 50 kN, our NG-EML Series D – Floor Standing Universal Testing Machine (50 kN – 1000 kN) is the next higher-capacity option.

If you're evaluating different configuration options, learn more or request a quote. If you share your material, specimen dimensions, and test type, we can recommend the most suitable force range.

This universal testing machine provides a 420 mm, 16.5 in, test width. Vertical crosshead travel depends on the frame configuration: 1000 mm, 39.4 in, for the standard single-space version, 900 mm, 35.4 in, for the standard dual-space version, and 1300 mm, 51.2 in, for the extended single-space version.

The frame width remains the same across these versions, but the usable working space in your test setup will also be influenced by the grips, compression platens, flexural fixtures, load cell, and any extensometer or chamber added to the system. That is important when sizing the machine for tensile, compression, or bend testing with taller fixtures or longer specimens.

If you're matching travel and test space to your specimens and fixtures, learn more or request a quote, and we can help confirm the right frame, travel, and fixture package for your method.

The key maintenance features are the slide-mounted controller module and the removable protective covers. They are designed to give technicians easier access to the controller area and frame components during routine inspection and service, which helps reduce downtime and simplifies regular upkeep.

Access around the frame can also be influenced by the final machine configuration, especially when grips, fixtures, safety shielding, load cells, or other installed accessories are part of the setup. That matters when planning service clearance, preventive maintenance, or future upgrades to the test frame.

If you're reviewing service access before purchase or installation, learn more or request a quote. If you share your grips, shielding, and workspace requirements, we can help you confirm the best configuration for maintenance access.

This universal testing machine serves as a lab’s core platform for medium-force materials testing. Its primary role is to run controlled tensile, compression, flexural, and cyclic tests so your team can measure key mechanical properties such as modulus, yield, tensile strength, compression response, and failure load for quality control, R&D, and method validation.

It is a strong fit when you need more frame stiffness, more working capacity, and more test-space flexibility than a light-duty system can provide. That makes it well suited for labs handling metals, engineering plastics, composites, elastomers, foams, and other research materials across a mix of routine and developmental work. With GenTest, operators can control the test, collect live data, analyze results, and generate reports from one interface.

If you’re evaluating whether this is the right fit for your lab, learn more or request a quote. If you share your material, specimen geometry, and test method, we can help confirm the best frame, capacity, and test setup.

This system can be configured with a broad range of grips, extensometers, chambers, and fixtures for tensile, compression, flexural, cyclic, and elevated-temperature testing. Compatible setups for this frame include wedge grips, serrated pneumatic grips, clip-on extensometers, compression platens, 3-point and 4-point bend fixtures, puncture fixtures, tear fixtures, and environmental chamber configurations for high-temperature work. The best combination is driven by your material, specimen geometry, force range, and whether the method requires strain measurement or temperature control.

It also supports integration with compatible extensometers, thermal chambers, temperature controllers, strain sensors, and pneumatic grip control through the control and data acquisition platform. Single-space, dual-space, and extended-travel configurations give you room to match the frame to longer specimens, larger fixtures, or chamber-based test setups without forcing a one-size-fits-all package.

When determining the optimal configuration for your samples, review the machine details and our grips and fixtures. If you share your material, specimen dimensions, and test method, we can prepare a quote for the right setup.

This universal testing machine is built for a wide range of specimen types used in tensile, compression, flexural, and cyclic testing. Common material groups include metals, high-strength steels, high-temperature alloys, engineering plastics, polymers, composites, rubber, elastomers, foams, films, flexible plastics, biodegradable plastics, flexible electronics, and other research materials. It is a strong fit for labs running modulus, yield, tensile strength, compression, and failure-load testing on both rigid and flexible samples.

Specimen form is driven by the test method and the gripping package. We can configure the system around standard coupons, soft or deformable samples, larger compression setups, and other application-specific geometries using compatible grips and fixtures. That lets you match the frame to the specimen shape, material behavior, and alignment needs of your method.

When determining the optimal configuration for your samples, learn more or request a quote. If you share your material, specimen geometry, and test method, we can help refine the right setup.

For closed-loop testing, this system runs at a 1200 Hz control frequency, and the single-channel data sampling rate is also 1200 Hz. Force, displacement, and extensometer or strain inputs are synchronized at that rate, which supports stable feedback during tensile, compression, flexural, and cyclic test routines.

The controller uses a digital closed-loop architecture with 24-bit signal acquisition and six analog channels, so you can capture load, travel, strain, and other connected sensor inputs with high resolution while maintaining real-time machine response. If you want advanced method setup, live graphing, or custom acquisition settings, the system can be paired with GenTest.

Compare Series C with Series B when your testing stays in the lower-force bench-top range and you want a compact dual-column system. Compare Series C with Series D when your program is moving toward higher loads, larger specimens, or heavier fixtures. Series C sits between them, covering 5 kN to 50 kN with both bench-top and floor-standing configurations, so it is often the right fit for labs that have outgrown lighter bench-top testing but do not need a high-force production frame.

The crossover usually comes down to three things: required force, specimen and fixture size, and how much test space flexibility you need. If you routinely work near 5 kN to 10 kN, Series B is worth comparing. If you are pushing toward 50 kN, adding larger grips, or planning for more demanding metal and composite work, Series D becomes the better comparison.

They improve repeatability by controlling both the mechanics of the load frame and the motion of the crosshead. Our rigid dual-column frame keeps the load path straighter under load, limiting deflection, side movement, and play in the system. The direct-drive servo system then delivers smoother crosshead travel, steadier low-speed control, and less backlash, so each test follows the same motion more consistently. That matters for modulus, yield, peak-load, and break measurements, where small mechanical variations can affect the data.

The frame and drive each address a different part of repeatability. The reinforced structure, preloaded ball screws, and linear guides help preserve alignment. The servo drive, optical encoder feedback, and closed-loop control help the machine hold position and speed more accurately through ramping, low-speed movement, and return travel. The result is more consistent force and displacement behavior from specimen to specimen, especially in routine QC and other displacement-sensitive methods.

To match the machine to your repeatability target, review the full system configuration or request a quote. If you share your material, specimen geometry, and test method, we can help refine the right setup.

Consumables and spare parts are available for NG-EML Series C systems. We support these universal testing machines with stocked replacement items used in routine maintenance and service, including grips, extensometer accessories, load cells, belts, bearings, seals, and electronic components. That helps keep tensile, compression, and flexural testing moving with less interruption.

The exact replacement package depends on your machine capacity, load cell, installed grips or fixtures, and any added accessories such as extensometers or environmental options. If you are updating the test setup at the same time, we can also help match compatible grips and fixtures to your specimen type and method.

Need to confirm the right replacement parts for your setup? learn more about this system or request a quote with your machine capacity, grips, and test method, and we will match the correct consumables and spare parts.

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.

This system is available in standard, extended 300 mm, and extended 600 mm frame heights. We offer those frame options in both single-space and dual-space configurations, so you can match the test space to your specimen length, fixture stack-up, and overall travel requirements.

The right frame height usually comes down to the test method and the hardware installed on the machine. Longer specimens, larger compression setups, added accessories, or specialized grips and fixtures can all influence the best configuration. We also offer both single-space and dual-space layouts, which helps when balancing tensile and compression work on the same universal testing machine.

If you’re evaluating different configuration options, learn more or request a quote. If you share your specimen size, fixtures, and target test method, we can help narrow the best frame height and layout.

Plan for a rigid, level installation area with enough clearance to load specimens, change tooling, and access the controller. On the standard single-space frame, the machine footprint is 30.3 x 25.2 in, overall height is 66.9 in, and system weight is about 816 lb. Dual-space versions are heavier, about 926 lb, and extended-height frames need more vertical clearance.

Electrical service for this system is 1.5 kW on single-phase 220 V, ±10%, 50/60 Hz. Recommended operating conditions are +5 °C to +40 °C, with 10% to 90% relative humidity at 20 °C, non-condensing, and installation up to 2000 m altitude. If you add larger grips and fixtures, safety shielding, or a thermal chamber, leave additional space around the frame because the final envelope changes with the installed configuration.

GenTest is built to export test results in the formats most labs actually use. Operators can create PDF reports with curves, key results, sample information, and other report fields, and they can also export Excel or CSV files for spreadsheet review, raw data handling, and transfer into QA or LIMS workflows. Raw time-series data, processed curves, and calculated values can all be exported for further analysis when that output is part of the selected workflow.

User permissions can also be set by role. That allows operators to run approved methods and generate reports, while supervisors or administrators control method edits, templates, and higher-level settings. The result is a more consistent and traceable reporting process across shifts, batches, and archived test records.

To align this with your QA workflow, explore GenTest or request a quote. If you need a specific report layout or raw data output for your process, we can help configure it.

Class 0.5 force accuracy helps keep measured load within a tightly verified tolerance, which is essential when your method depends on reliable force data. In this system, force measurement is aligned with GB/T 16825.1, ISO 7500, and ASTM E4, so standards-based tensile, compression, flexural, and cyclic testing can be performed with the level of force verification expected in controlled lab and quality environments.

That directly supports result quality for values derived from load, including yield, tensile strength, proof load, and failure load. It also helps reduce variability between operators, batches, and repeat tests when the machine is configured with the right load cell, extensometer, grips, and method setup. The combination of high force resolution, optical encoder feedback, and GenTest software templates supports more consistent execution and reporting across QC and R&D workflows.

To align this with your testing method, review the Series C universal testing machine or request a quote. If you share your standard, specimen geometry, and force range, we can help match the right load cell, extensometer, and grips.

For medium-force testing, this universal testing machine supports a crosshead speed range from 0.00005 mm/min up to 900 mm/min. Maximum return speed is 1500 mm/min, so you can run very slow, controlled methods as well as faster routine tensile, compression, and flexural test cycles on the same frame.

The right test speed depends on the material, specimen geometry, and method you are running. Lower speeds are useful for displacement-sensitive work such as modulus, creep, or relaxation studies, while higher speeds can help shorten cycle time for general QC and production verification. Speed control accuracy is specified at ±0.2% of the set speed.

To align this with your testing method, learn more about this system or request a quote. If you share your material, specimen size, and test standard, we can help match the best speed range and fixture setup.

This UTM is listed with these ASTM standards: ASTM D412, ASTM E8, ASTM E4, ASTM D638, ASTM D790, and ASTM E21. The ISO standards listed are ISO 7500, ISO 7500-1, ISO 527, ISO 178, ISO 604, ISO 1184, ISO 37, ISO 6892, and ISO 6892-1. The GB/T standards listed are GB/T 16825.1 and GB/T 228.

The exact test method setup should still match the specimen type, grips, extensometer, and software method template. That is especially important when moving between metal tensile standards such as ASTM E8 or ISO 6892-1 and polymer or rubber methods such as ASTM D638, ASTM D790, ISO 527, or ASTM D412, so the machine is typically configured with the right grips and fixtures for the standard you plan to run.

To align this with your testing method, learn more or request a quote for the exact grips, extensometer, and reporting setup your standard requires.

This load range is a strong fit for medium-force testing of metals, engineering plastics, polymers, rubber, elastomers, composites, foams, films, and other research materials. It is well suited to tensile, compression, flexural, and cyclic testing when you need more frame stiffness and capacity than lighter systems typically provide.

Material fit is driven by the force required, specimen geometry, and the test setup. Within this range, we commonly configure the system for high-strength steels and alloys, flexible plastics, engineering polymers, composite coupons, soft materials, and elevated-temperature work with the right accessories. The right grips and fixtures are what make the load range practical for your exact specimen and method.

When determining the optimal configuration for your samples, learn more or request a quote. If you share your material, specimen dimensions, and test method, we can match the right load cell and fixture package.

This system supports tensile, compression, flexural, and cyclic test procedures across the 5 kN to 50 kN configuration range. It is intended for medium-force materials testing and can be set up for metals, plastics, composites, elastomers, and foams with the right load cell and test hardware.

That includes routine tensile and compression work, 3-point and 4-point flexural methods, and cyclic sequences through the control software. We can also configure the frame with compatible grips and fixtures for specimen clamping, compression platens, and bending setups, while GenTest supports prebuilt tensile, compression, flexural, cyclic, and custom procedures.

If you’re matching this system to a specific specimen or method, learn more or request a quote. Share your material, specimen geometry, and test procedure, and we’ll help define the best frame, fixture, and software setup.
