NG-SHM Series A is a high-force servo-hydraulic universal testing machine for static mechanical testing of metals and structural components. Available from 300 kN to 3000 kN, it uses a high-stiffness multi-column frame and dual-zone layout for tensile and compression work. Hydraulic wedge grips, extensometer compatibility, and GenTest software support testing of rebar, fasteners, chains, welds, castings, and large metallic specimens.
NG-SHM Class DP is a high-force servo-hydraulic testing machine with an upper actuator, single-zone test space, and side-action hydraulic wedge grips. Available in 600 kN, 1000 kN, and 2000 kN capacities, it supports tension, compression, bending, and shearing tests on metals and structural specimens. Its automatic clamping adjustment, dual-direction grip alignment, precision transducer, and long-travel cylinder help deliver stable, repeatable results.
NG-SHM Class C is a servo-hydraulic universal testing machine for high-force metal testing, with capacity options of 600 kN and 1000 kN. Its longer jaw face is designed for tensile testing of stranded steel wire, while the 6-column frame, dual-zone test space, hydraulic wedge grips, quick-return valve, and precision load cell support accurate, repeatable testing of rebar, fasteners, chains, welds, and castings.
NG-SHM Class B is a high-force servo-hydraulic universal testing machine for tensile, compression, and flexural testing of metals and other high-strength materials. Available from 300 kN to 3000 kN, it uses a rigid multi-column frame, dual-zone test space, hydraulic wedge grips, and precise load-cell measurement to support reliable testing of fasteners, rebar, chains, welds, castings, and structural components.
GenTest v3.0 is NextGen’s data acquisition and test control software for universal testing machines, built around method-driven workflows for tensile, compression, and flexural testing. It connects setup parameters, live channels, curves, calculations, recorded data, and report outputs within one test record, helping laboratories standardize operator inputs, control steps, results review, and documentation across servo-hydraulic and electromechanical UTM stations.
