NG-EML Series D – Floor-Standing Universal Testing Machine (50–1000 kN)

An optional safety shield can be added to this universal testing machine for specimen failure protection. For the NG-EML Series D, the shield is configured as an enclosed aluminum and polycarbonate guard with a door-locking feature and a software-linked interlock, so machine movement is restricted when the shield is open.

This is a strong option for high-force tensile testing and other applications where sudden specimen breakage is a concern. Shield selection should be matched to the machine capacity, specimen size, travel requirements, and the grips or fixtures being used. The frame also includes built-in protection features such as collision detection, overload protection, travel limits, and emergency stop logic.

If you're configuring this system for high-energy specimen testing, learn more or request a quote. If you share your specimen geometry, force range, and fixture setup, we can help match the right shielded configuration.

The NG-EML line is separated mainly by frame style, force range, and the kinds of samples each machine is built to handle. Series A is our compact single-column benchtop system for low-force testing, from 50 N to 5 kN. Series B stays benchtop but uses a dual-column frame and covers 100 N to 10 kN, which is a better fit when you need more frame rigidity and capacity. Series C moves into medium-force dual-column testing from 5 kN to 50 kN, with bench-top and floor-standing configurations available. Series D is our heavy-duty floor-standing platform, covering 50 kN to 1000 kN for high-strength metals, structural materials, composites, cyclic testing, and larger specimens.

If your work is mostly small, low-force, and space-limited, Series A or B is usually the right starting point. If you need more capacity, more test space, or room for larger fixtures and specimens, Series C or D is the better path. The practical break point is not just load capacity, but also specimen size, grip style, extensometry, and whether the application calls for a benchtop frame or a floor-standing system.

If you’re evaluating different configuration options, learn more about Series D or request a quote with your material, specimen geometry, target load range, and test method. We can help match the right NG-EML frame to your application.

Operators can export both raw data and processed test results from this universal testing machine through our GenTest software workflow. The system supports live data acquisition, automatic calculations, post-test recalculation, batch comparison, and report generation, so your team can move from test execution to documented results without rebuilding the dataset outside the machine software.

That export workflow is useful for tensile, compression, and other UTM applications where you need both traceable raw files and finished reports. Depending on your setup, operators can review graphs, result fields, and sequence controls directly at the machine, and export options can include formats such as Excel, PDF, CSV, and image files. USB connectivity also supports data export and common peripherals such as printers and barcode scanners.

To align this with your reporting workflow, you can learn more about this system or review GenTest. If you want to confirm the right software, report format, or export setup for your lab, request a quote.

The Series D takes our standard grips and fixtures for electromechanical frames, chosen to the capacity group you buy: 50/100 kN, 200/300 kN, 500/600 kN or 1000 kN. A grip or fixture is compatible when its rating covers the force you will test to and its interface matches the load cell and crosshead mounts.

For metals, high-strength steels and composites, wedge-action tensile grips are the usual starting point, while compression platens and 3-point or 4-point bending fixtures cover the other static modes. The load cell measures in both directions, so tension and compression run without reconfiguring it.

Pneumatic grips connect to an optional pneumatic grip module, and when they are fitted the standard handheld controller opens and closes them during setup. GenTest can also run grip actions as steps in the test sequence.

Tell us the specimen, its expected break load and the standard, and we will match the grip style and jaw faces to the frame.

Every NG-EML Series machine runs GenTest, our data acquisition and test control software. It works from a method: the method defines the control steps, the live channels and curves, the calculations and the report, so settings, raw data and results stay in one test record.

On the Series D, accessory actions such as fixture pressure, chamber conditions and extensometer behaviour can be linked to steps of the test sequence, so a multi-stage procedure runs without the operator switching devices by hand. Test logs, permission levels and operator access controls support traceability, and the interface switches between languages.

The software runs on a host PC, or on the optional frame-mounted industrial touchscreen PC, which carries the full GenTest environment so the machine can work without a separate desktop or laptop.

Demo mode with simulation files lets operators train and check methods without running the frame.

Yes. We calibrate NG-EML Series machines, the Series D included, at installation and as recurring service, and the results are documented for your quality records. The frames are calibrated to Class 0.5 under ISO 7500, with ASTM E4 and GB/T 16825.1 listed as calibration standards.

On the Series D the force channel is verified across its published force range: 500 N to 1000 kN at 0.2% to 100% of the load cell's full scale, and 10 N to 250 N at 0.4% to 100%. Displacement is checked against the ±0.2% position accuracy, and any extensometer is verified as a separate device to ISO 9513.

The load cells also support internal self-verification procedures, which give a quick check between formal calibrations. A 12-month interval is the common choice in quality systems, with an extra calibration after a move or an overload.

To book calibration for an installed machine, send us the model, the capacity and the date of the last certificate.

Plan around the selected frame size, because the footprint and overall height change with capacity and frame layout. Across this floor-standing universal testing machine range, the base dimensions run from 46.3 x 28.0 in up to 61.8 x 39.4 in, and overall height runs from 100.4 in up to 139.8 in.

The main factors are load capacity, single-space versus dual-space construction, and whether you choose an extended-travel version for longer specimens or specialized fixtures. For room planning, also account for the full machine width with the display installed, which ranges from 65.2 in on smaller frames to 96.5 in on the 1000 kN system.

If you’re laying out a new test area, learn more or request a quote, and we can confirm the right capacity, frame style, and travel configuration for your lab.

Calibration and force verification are handled as part of the machine setup and ongoing service plan. We support NG-EML Series D systems with professional calibration of the force measurement system, along with displacement and extensometer checks, so the machine stays aligned with ASTM E4 and ISO 7500-1 requirements. This platform also uses calibrated load cells, supports built-in verification functions, and is specified to Accuracy Class 0.5 within its configured force range.

For most labs, verification is completed at installation and then repeated annually, or on the interval required by the quality system, audit schedule, or test method. We issue traceable calibration certificates, and we can coordinate calibration with installation, operational checks, and operator training so the system is ready for production testing or lab work.

To align this with your testing method, learn more or request a quote. If you share your capacity, load cell setup, and verification standard, we can help define the right calibration plan.

Closed-loop control manages force, displacement, and strain by reading live feedback from the load cell, crosshead position encoder, and extensometer, then adjusting drive output in real time to hold the chosen control mode. That lets this universal testing machine correct for specimen yielding, stiffness changes, and grip settling during the test, instead of relying on a fixed motion command alone.

This becomes especially important when a method needs controlled transitions between stages, such as preload, displacement control, strain control, hold segments, creep, relaxation, or cyclic loading. The digital controller synchronizes force, position, and extensometer signals at up to 1200 Hz, and GenTest supports setup, live acquisition, analysis, and reporting for these workflows.

To align this with your testing method, learn more about this system or request a quote. If you share your material, specimen geometry, and target control mode, we can help configure the right sensor and software setup.

Our floor-standing Series D range is available in 50, 100, 200, 300, 500, 600, and 1000 kN capacities. That gives you a broad span for high-force universal testing, from routine metal tensile and compression work through larger specimens and more demanding structural material testing.

The best capacity depends on your expected peak load, specimen geometry, fixture requirements, and whether your setup needs a single-space or dual-space configuration. If your application is below this range, the NG-EML Series C is the lower-force alternative.

If you’re sizing a machine for a specific test method, learn more or request a quote, and we’ll help match the right force capacity, test space, and grips to your application.

We offer this floor-standing universal testing machine in single-space and dual-space frame layouts, with extended-travel versions available when your setup needs more vertical clearance for longer specimens, larger fixtures, or specialized test methods. That gives you a practical way to match the frame to tensile, compression, flexural, cyclic, and other high-force material testing workflows.

Configuration options also vary by capacity. The 50 to 300 kN models are available in standard, extended 300 mm, and extended 600 mm versions, each in single-space or dual-space formats. The 500 to 600 kN and 1000 kN models are offered in standard and extended 300 mm versions, again in single-space or dual-space layouts. Selection usually comes down to specimen length, fixture stack height, and the grips and fixtures required for the method.

If you’re evaluating different configuration options, learn more or request a quote. Share your specimen geometry, travel needs, and test method, and we’ll help match the right frame setup.

This system is built for tensile, compression, flexural, and cyclic testing. For high-force materials work, that covers the core test modes most labs need for metals, composites, structural materials, and other demanding applications. The frame and control architecture also support force, displacement, and strain-based control, so the machine can be matched to the method rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all setup.

With GenTest software, the NG-EML Series D can also run custom procedures using ramp, hold, waveform, and trigger-based sequence steps. The exact test setup is typically defined by the specimen geometry, load range, grips or fixtures, and whether you need standard tensile or compression work, flexural testing, or more advanced cyclic routines.

To align this with your testing method, learn more about the platform and review compatible grips and fixtures. If you can share your material, specimen geometry, or test standard, we can help define the right setup through a request a quote.

Yes. On the NG-EML Series, compliance comes from two things together: a frame calibrated to recognised force standards, and test methods that follow the standard you report against. On the Series D, force calibration is to ISO 7500 and ASTM E4, and strain accuracy is better than the requirements of ISO 6892-1, ASTM E8 and ASTM E21.

By material, the Series D is set up for metals to ASTM E8 and ISO 6892-1, high-temperature alloys to ASTM E21, rubber and elastomers to ASTM D412 and ISO 37, plastics and composites to ISO 527, ASTM D638 and ISO 604, and flexible polymers to ISO 1184.

A report is only compliant when the grips, extensometer and specimen preparation meet the same standard as the frame, so we configure those together with the machine for the methods you run.

This floor-standing UTM is built for high-force testing of high-strength metals, advanced composites, high-temperature alloys, and other structural materials. It is also well suited for engineering plastics, reinforced composites, rubber, elastomers, soft polymers, and metal sheet, rod, or wire specimens when the application calls for higher loads, larger samples, cyclic loading, or elevated-temperature work.

The right material fit depends on the full test setup, including force capacity, load cell, grips, strain measurement, and whether you need tensile, compression, flexural, or cyclic testing. We can also configure the system with compatible grips and fixtures to match your specimen geometry and test method.

Need to verify the best setup for your material and specimen type? learn more or request a quote, and we’ll help match the frame, grips, and measurement options to your application.

Crosshead travel and test width on this floor-standing universal testing machine vary by capacity group and frame configuration. Our 50 to 300 kN models use a 600 mm test width, the 500 to 600 kN models use a 750 mm test width, and the 1000 kN model uses an 890 mm test width. Crosshead travel then changes based on whether you choose a single-space, dual-space, or extended-travel frame.

For 50 to 300 kN, available crosshead travel options are 1350, 1250, 1650, 1550, 1950, and 1850 mm. For 500 to 600 kN, the available travel options are 750, 650, 1050, and 950 mm. For 1000 kN, the available travel options are 500, 900, 800, and 600 mm. This is why capacity alone is not enough when sizing the frame for long specimens, larger fixtures, or specific tensile and compression setups.

If you're evaluating different configuration options, learn more or request a quote. If you share your specimen length, grip setup, and test method, we can help match the right frame and travel configuration.

The Series D is set up so that a new operator follows a method rather than building one. GenTest walks through test configuration step by step from standards-based templates, plots the curve live and calculates the results automatically.

At the frame, the standard handheld controller has a 3.5-inch colour touchscreen, silicone-coated buttons and a rotary wheel for fine positioning. It mounts magnetically and covers crosshead jog, start and stop, return to origin and grip open and close when grips are equipped, with force, displacement and machine status shown on its screen.

TEDS auto-recognition identifies the load cell when it is fitted, which removes a common manual setup error. The handset can work on its own through the controller or as a PC-synchronised input during software-guided workflows, so operators choose whichever suits the task.

This system is built to Accuracy Class 0.5 and provides force resolution of 1/600,000 of full scale. That gives you precise load measurement for high-force tensile, compression, flexural, and related universal testing work.

For selection purposes, the force measurement range is specified as 500 N to 1000 kN from 0.2% to 100% of full scale, and 10 N to 250 N from 0.4% to 100% of full scale. The best setup depends on the frame capacity, load cell configuration, and the force window your test method needs to capture most accurately.

If you’re validating force measurement performance for a specific method, learn more or request a quote. Share your target load range, specimen geometry, and any extensometer or fixture requirements, and we can help match the right configuration.

This system supports compatible extensometers, video extensometers, and environmental chambers. Its control platform is designed to manage force, displacement, strain, and accessory signals together, so strain measurement and chamber-based testing can be integrated into the same test workflow.

The best setup depends on your test method, specimen geometry, strain range, and temperature requirements. Through GenTest, compatible extensometers and chamber controls can be tied to the test sequence, which helps when you need coordinated control of strain inputs and test conditions.

If you're evaluating accessory compatibility for your method, learn more or request a quote with your specimen type, strain measurement approach, and chamber requirements.

We provide operator training and installation support for this floor-standing UTM. For the NG-EML Series D, we can set up training so your team can learn safe operation, basic software use, and routine system handling on the supplied machine. The platform also uses guided control software and a handheld controller, which helps shorten the learning curve for new operators.

Basic system and software training is structured for up to three operators. It covers safety, major system components, startup and shutdown, fixture and accessory handling, and an introduction to the control software. Our installation scope also includes system setup, physical and electrical connections, mounting supplied fixtures and transducers, and checking correct operation before handoff.

If you are planning a new installation or adding operators, learn more or request a quote. If you share your test methods, accessories, and operator count, we can help scope the right training approach for your lab.

For force verification, the key standards are ASTM E4 and ISO 7500-1. For metallic tensile testing, the main standards are ASTM E8 and ISO 6892-1. This universal testing machine is built for those testing frameworks, with calibration references that also include GB/T 16825.1.

If your metallic tensile program includes strain measurement or elevated-temperature work, the applicable setup may also involve ASTM E21 and GB/T 228, depending on the method, extensometer, grips, and specimen requirements. The exact configuration should match the standard you need to run, especially for load cell selection, strain measurement, and fixture choice.

To align this with your testing method, review the NG-EML Series D and request a quote for the right calibration, grips, extensometer, and documentation package.

GenTest handles test setup through a method-based workflow. On this universal testing machine, the selected method ties together control steps, operator inputs, live channels, calculations, and the final report, so setup and reporting stay consistent inside one test record. For routine work, the software includes ready-made libraries for common ASTM, ISO, EN, and GB/T workflows, and it also lets you build custom sequences for application-specific tensile, compression, flexural, cyclic, and other material tests.

Reporting is built into the same workflow. GenTest can generate standardized reports with graphs, tables, and selected result fields, then export data in formats such as PDF, Excel, CSV, and raw data files. User roles, stored test records, and linked metadata also help maintain traceability across operators, batches, and QA documentation.

To align this with your testing method, you can learn more about the NG-EML Series D, review GenTest, or request a quote for a setup matched to your specimen type, test sequence, and reporting requirements.

After installation, this universal testing machine is supported for the life of the system. We provide ongoing remote technical support for troubleshooting, software guidance, and general service questions, and if hands-on help is needed, we coordinate certified local service partners for on-site assistance.

Your long-term coverage also includes a detailed warranty package, with a minimum 12-month warranty on the instrument, plus ongoing support for spare parts and accessories over the life of the system. During installation and startup, we also provide operator training and technical documentation so your team can run the machine confidently and maintain continuity in daily testing. Consumables are handled separately.

If you want to plan the right support path for your lab, learn more about this system or contact us to discuss service, training, or troubleshooting for your exact setup.

A Series D floor-standing universal testing machine is the right choice when your lab needs higher force, a rigid floor-standing frame, and enough test space for larger specimens or heavier fixtures. We build this platform for 50 kN to 1000 kN tensile, compression, flexural, and cyclic testing, especially for high-strength metals, advanced composites, structural materials, high-temperature alloys, and other demanding applications where stable control under load matters.

It is also the better fit when your method needs more than a basic frame. Single-space, dual-space, and extended-travel configurations let us match specimen length and fixture stack-up, while closed-loop control and GenTest software support force, displacement, strain, and more advanced test routines.

If you’re evaluating different configuration options, learn more or request a quote. If you share your force range, specimen geometry, and test method, we can help narrow the right frame, test space, and accessory setup.

Common consumables and spares for the NG-EML Series are part of our stocked range, and the lead time for any item is confirmed when you order it.

The items a Series D lab replaces most often are on the gripping side. Jaw faces and wedge inserts wear with use and are matched to your specimen sizes and grip model, so keeping a spare set for each specimen family you test is the simplest way to avoid downtime.

For drive and electronic parts, such as the synchronous belt, the servo motor, a load cell or the controller module, quote the model, capacity group and serial number so we can supply the matching part. The pull-out controller module and removable covers make most of these parts reachable without dismantling the frame.

Send us your specimen list and we will suggest the spare set worth keeping on the shelf.

This system supports cyclic and waveform-driven test procedures. Its closed-loop controller can generate sine and trapezoidal waveforms, and the machine is built for tensile, compression, flexural, and cyclic testing in higher-force applications.

For waveform-driven material testing, the exact setup is usually defined by the control mode, specimen behavior, and the sensors or accessories tied into the method. We can configure custom sequences in GenTest using ramp, hold, waveform, and trigger-based actions, while monitoring force, displacement, strain, time, and active test steps during the run.

To align cyclic testing with your method, learn more about this platform or request a quote with your target load range, waveform type, and control requirements.

Protection on the Series D works in layers. Collision detection watches force in real time and stops the crosshead if it sees an abnormal spike, an obstruction or a specimen failure, and the test stops when the load exceeds 103% of the rated capacity.

Travel is limited both by mechanical limit switches and by software stroke limits. An emergency stop circuit halts motion at once, and force, displacement and extensometer channels are monitored so the machine is not driven outside its calibrated ranges. The controller firmware also watches voltage, current, motor temperature and displacement limits, with emergency stop logic in both hardware and software.

The load cell has its own safeguards against overload, shock loading and lateral force, which matters on a 500 kN or 1000 kN frame when a high-strength specimen lets go. At the frame, the Handset V3.0 adds grip lockout, overload prevention and return-to-origin to cut setup errors.

The right package depends on the force and failure behaviour of your specimens, so describe both when you request a quote.

GenTest™ includes preloaded method templates across ASTM, ISO, EN, and GB/T frameworks for this floor-standing universal testing machine. The library is organized by test type, so operators can quickly load setups for tensile, compression, flexural, cyclic, and custom procedures instead of building each method from scratch.

For the NG-EML Series D, common templates align with methods used for metal, plastic, rubber, and high-temperature testing, including ASTM E8, ASTM E21, ASTM D638, ASTM D412, ISO 6892-1, ISO 527, ISO 604, ISO 37, ISO 1184, and GB/T 228. EN templates are also available within GenTest, and the exact method set used on your machine is typically matched to the specimen geometry, control mode, sensors, and fixture package.

To align this with your testing method, learn more about the NG-EML Series D or request a quote for the right software, fixtures, and sensor package. If you share your standard and specimen details, we can match the template library to your application.

Support for an NG-EML Series machine continues for the life of the equipment and covers the frame, the controller and GenTest software, from installation and training through calibration and later service.

Most questions after installation concern a method or a result. GenTest keeps test logs with each run, so when you send us a result together with its method and log, our engineers can see how the test was set up and what the machine was doing when the problem appeared.

Later needs are covered the same way: recalibration after a move, a new method for a standard you have just adopted, or training for operators who join after the original installation.

The quickest route to our support team is the contact page, with the model, capacity and serial number to hand.

We keep spare parts and consumables available for NG-EML Series D systems so you can maintain uptime and replace common wear items without unnecessary delay. Coverage includes grips, extensometer accessories, load cells, bearings, belts, seals, and electronic modules used across NG-EML UTM platforms.

For higher-wear items, we can support planned reorders for lab stock. The frame is also designed for easier service access, with a pull-out controller module and removable covers that simplify inspection of belts, motors, sensors, and electronics. If you need application-specific replacement tooling, we also offer grips and fixtures for common UTM test methods.

If you are matching replacement parts to an existing machine, learn more or request a quote with your machine capacity, grips, and accessory package so we can line up the correct parts for your system.

Our grips and fixtures for NG-EML Series frames cover tensile, compression, flexural, shear, peel and puncture work on metals, plastics, composites, rubber and wood. The grip is chosen to the specimen first and to the frame capacity second.

For tensile work the main families are wedge grips for high-load metal and composite specimens, pneumatic grips for fast, repeatable clamping of softer samples, side-action grips with interchangeable jaw faces, self-tightening and eccentric roller grips for deformable or thin materials, threaded grips for bolts and nuts, and snubbing grips for wire and cable.

For the other modes there are compression fixtures for axial loading of rigid samples, 3-point and 4-point bending fixtures, and specialised fixtures for tear, peel, puncture and wood testing.

On a 500 kN or 1000 kN Series D, check each grip's rated load against the capacity you will test to before ordering.

This universal testing machine is set up for 3-phase AC, 220 V ±10%, 50/60 Hz installation. Power requirement varies by frame capacity within the Series D range, with listed machine power ratings from 2 kW up to 11 kW.

For installation planning, the main items to verify are the selected load capacity, any added accessories or fixtures, and your site’s available 3-phase service. Matching the machine to the correct facility power connection up front helps avoid delays during delivery, setup, and commissioning.

Need to confirm the right electrical setup for your system? learn more or request a quote, and we can align the configuration with your facility power and testing requirements.

Routine maintenance on the Series D is mostly inspection and cleanliness. The guidance columns and linear guides are self-lubricating, so the regular tasks are keeping the columns and crosshead area clean, checking grip faces and fixtures for wear, and confirming that the limit switches, overload stop and emergency stop work.

For deeper checks, the controller module pulls out and the outer covers come off, which gives access to the belts, motors, sensors and electronics. Belt condition and cable routing are worth inspecting at the same visit.

Keep the room within the rated working conditions, +5 °C to +40 °C and 10% to 90% relative humidity at 20 °C, non-condensing, since condensation and heat are harder on electronics and sensors than daily use.

We can draw up a preventive maintenance plan around your fixtures, sensors and test volume, alongside the calibration schedule.
