Chatillon LTCM-500

The Chatillon LTCM-500 Series motorized tester, combined with a Chatillon gauge, is perfect for applications requiring an economical solution to tensile or compression testing up to 550 lbf (2500N). A large working are and 5-inch (130mm) throat and long 29.5-inch (750mm) travel is ideal for tensile, compression, flexural, shear and peel testing. Tester includes mechanical and digital load limits that can be used to control crosshead movement, e.g. stop the crosshead when a load limit is achieved. An innovative T-Slot work surface ensures proper centerline alignment and fast fixture setup. An optional expanded work table is ideal for very large samples with diameters over 10-inches (250mm). Controls are simple and intuitive making it ideal for production environments. An optional footswitch can be used for "hands-free operation" and used to control crosshead movement. An optional splinter shield is also available.
