AGX-V2 Series - Options

TRAPEZIUMX-V Operation Software for Material Testing

TRAPEZIUMX-V for Windows 10 provides a number of easy-to-use features, such as a data search function, condition setting through a visual wizard, and a quick condition list where you can select test conditions directly from the start-up screen. You can easily create a variety of test conditions, from simple test controls to controls with complicated patterns.

Higher accuracy testing control is required when testing materials being strengthened for the purpose of reducing the weight of transportation equipment. The combination of AGX-V2’s high response real-time autotuning function with the external noise-resistant AEH-3HR automatic extensometer functions effectively in strain rate tests as per the ISO 6892 metallic materials test standards. Additionally, for aging tests in which characteristic values are calculated based on two sets of test results, the functions built into the TRAPEZIUMX-V software reduce the number of calculations performed manually.

MWG Manual Non-Shift Wedge Grips

With these manual grips, turn the handle to grasp the sample. These are popular, cost-effective grips. By replacing the grip teeth, they can accommodate not only flat sheets of material, but also tests of rods.

DT Differential Transformer Extensometer

This extensometer is used for strain measurements of metals, hard plastics, and other samples with comparatively small elongation. In combination with the AGX-V2 series, it is compatible with electric calibration, which improves user friendliness.

High-Temperature Test Device

This furnace is for high-temperature tests of heat-resistant alloys and ceramics. In combination with a special extensometer, it is compatible with strain measurements and strain control. Select from a lineup featuring a duplex unit that makes the most of the test cycle time, an IR lamp furnace capable of high-speed heating, and a unit with a temperature range up to 1500 °C.

 

Low-Temperature Test Device

For tests of brittleness, low-temperature immersion tanks for implementing bending tests in liquid nitrogen can be created.

* Some of these instruments require special optional parts to connect to a testing machine. Contact your Shimadzu representative.

It is important to control the temperature and humidity conditions when testing materials affected by these conditions. Shimadzu offers a variety atmospheric control testing machines, including refrigerator and gas injection types, to suit the objective. Additionally, the AGX-V2's high-speed return function reduces the standby time during long stroke tests, shortening the test cycle time. Combining switch-operated grips and automatic extensometers further reduces the cycle time.

Validation & Verification (V & V) is required for high-precision simulation, and tests are conducted to load actual products. The auto-tuning function, which maintains the test force with high precision, the analog input function of up to 20 channels, and the WEB camera function are effective for these tests. You can also choose special test jigs to improve the accuracy of the simulation.

In the field of new materials development, including composite materials, unique tests are required to evaluate the strength of adhesive bonding between different types of material, and the lowering of strength due to scratches. Our lineup includes items compliant with ISO and JIS as well as ASTM standards, and optional instruments, such as a shaft alignment instrument as an entire testing system, are also available. Additionally, with ultra-high-speed sampling, a function of the main unit, even abrupt reductions in test force when highly brittle materials break are not overlooked.
