We have two product lines for you to consider. Both options offer various models with different force capacities to meet or exceed your current tester's capacity and capabilities with some differences. Review the information below where you will find valuable links and specifications.

Option 1:  Mark-10 Motorized Test Stands

 

ESMEXT samllESM303 double small

The Mark-10 ESM Series is a single column product line that utilize hand-held force gauges or remote load cell with indicator for force measurements and are most like your current tester but with far more capabilities and scalability.  The ESM Series are available in force capacities of 300 lbf (1.5 kN), 750 lbf (3.4 kN), and 1500 lbf (6.7 kN) and include a unique modular controller function to accommodate a wide range of budgets and applications.  These testers also come with a three-year warranty.  The ESM Series is highly configurable as you can see from the pictures above.  They are available with extended length to accommodate larger specimens or to test materials with higher elongations.  The ESM Series can be configured to mount on custom tables to enable testing of large finished products or specimens in the open-area under the table.  You can buy them with safety shields to meet safety requirements for specimens that spray shards of the material during break testing to protect the operator.  They can also be configured with different test speeds to meet your specific testing application requirements. Software can also be added as an option that can be configured to provide you with full machine control and/or data acquisition.  Mark-10 offers multiple force gauge product lines with different force capacities, test capabilities, and at different price points that can be used on these testers.

Price Range:

For a tester and force gauge, the approximate price ranges from $3,550.00 to $11,750.00 depending on your force capacity and testing application requirements.

Option 3: Chatillon Model TCM-100 and TCM-350

The Chatillon TCM series is the work horse for production environments and has very similar features to the legacy TCM series. This motorized tester combined with an attached DF series force gauge can be used for tensile, compression, peel, top load, and flexural testing. The small foot print with cycling, run to external limit, and run to force limit features make this ideal for locations with limited bench space. The haptic feedback flat panel is ideal for cleaning in dirty environments. The TCM is availble in two capacities and with standard or extended column and can be combined with ForceTest software for a powerful testing tool.

Price Range:

For a tester and gauge, the approximate price ranges from $5,040 to $7,360 depending on your force capacity and testing application requirements.
