Engineered Testing Equipment
Universal Testing Machine, Built to Your Capacity — With Software Included
A Universal Testing Machine engineered for tension, compression, bending and shear testing, paired with control software we build in-house — live data, automated reports, and multi-stage testing come standard, not as an upgrade.
What It Does
One Machine, Multiple Test Types
A Universal Testing Machine applies controlled load to a material sample and measures its response — tensile strength, compression resistance, bending, and shear behavior. It’s the core instrument in most material and component QC labs, used across metals, plastics, rubber, composites, and textiles. What varies from lab to lab isn’t what the machine does — it’s the capacity, fixture design, and standard it needs to test against, which is where a fixed-catalog machine usually falls short.
- Tension, compression, bending & shear testing on one platform
- Handles metals, polymers, rubber, composites, and textiles
- Load and displacement captured and logged automatically, no manual reading
No Fixed Catalog
Built From Your Application, Not a Model Number
Catalog machines are sold in a handful of fixed capacities, and you pick whichever one comes closest to what you need — often paying for more capacity than you’ll use, or working around a fixture that’s almost-but-not-quite right for your specimen. We build the other way around: every UTM starts with your application — capacity range, grip and fixture type, specimen size, and the standard you test against — and the machine is sized to match.
- Load capacity sized to what you actually test, not the nearest standard size
- Grip and fixture design matched to your specimen geometry
- Built to comply with ASTM and IS test standards on request. See ASTM E8/E8M for metallic tension testing.
- Frame and crosshead travel configured for your specimen length range
Included as Standard, Not an Add-On
Every UTM We Build Includes Our In-House Control Software
A Universal Testing Machine without digital control just shows you a peak number on a dial — everything else depends on someone timing the test and writing results down by hand. That’s not how we build. Every machine ships with software we design and maintain ourselves, so live data, automated reporting, and multi-stage testing aren’t a separate “computerized” product you pay extra to unlock — they’re part of what a UTM from us is.
Live Testing
- Real-time load vs. displacement graphing while the test runs
- Multi-stage test sequencing — run several stages back-to-back automatically
- Automatic pass/fail evaluation against your tolerance, applied consistently
Records & Reporting
- One-click PDF and Excel report export, formatted and branded
- Every test saved digitally — searchable later, no paper log sheets
- Consistent report format across every test and every operator
Precision
Reliable load and displacement measurement for consistent results
Sized to Your Spec
Capacity, grips and fixtures configured around your application
Software Included
Live graphing and automated reporting built in, not optional
Direct Support
Direct access to the team that designed and built your machine
Built For Your Application
| Test Type | Typical Use Case |
|---|---|
| Tensile | Metals, wires, plastics, textiles |
| Compression | Concrete, foam, packaging materials |
| Bending | Pipes, composites, structural members |
| Shear | Adhesives, bonded joints, rivets |
Note: Capacity, grip type, and test standard are worked out from your application — share what you’re testing and we’ll recommend the right configuration.
From Your Spec to a Working Machine
Requirement Discussion: You tell us what you’re testing, expected load range, and the standard you need to comply with.
Configuration: We size the frame, load cell, and fixtures to match, and confirm the software setup (test stages, tolerance bands, report format) for your process.
Build & Calibration: The machine is built, wired, and calibrated before it ever leaves for delivery.
Installation & Handover: Setup at your site, operator walkthrough, and confirmation that live data and reporting are working as expected.
Ongoing Support: Calibration and servicing available after delivery (see Calibration & Service).

Frequently Asked Questions
What capacity range can you build? +
Capacity is worked out from your requirement — share your material and expected load range and we’ll confirm what’s achievable.
Which standards can the machine comply with? +
We build to your required standard, including ASTM and IS specifications, confirmed during the design stage.
Is the control software included, or is it a separate purchase? +
It’s included as standard on every UTM we build — live data capture, graphing, and report generation aren’t a paid upgrade.
Can the software be set up for our specific test stages and tolerance bands? +
Yes — this is configured to your process during commissioning, not left as a generic default.
Do you offer calibration after delivery? +
Yes — see our Calibration & Service page for details.
