AGS-V Tabletop Precision Universal Testing Machines

Description

The AGS-V Series from Shimadzu comprises a line of tabletop universal testing machines designed for precision mechanical evaluation of materials. These systems accommodate a broad range of force capacities, from 1 N to 10 kN across seven models, making them suitable for testing delicate polymers as well as stronger metals. Key operational specifications include a test speed range from 0.0005 to 1500 mm/min and a high-speed data sampling rate of 0.2 milliseconds for capturing transient force events. The frame design allows for extensions to increase testing stroke and height, which is beneficial for materials that exhibit significant elongation, such as rubbers and elastomers. The machines are controlled by TRAPEZIUMX-V software, which provides guided method setup. A selection of optional software modules extends functionality to cyclic testing, texture analysis, and spring evaluation. The system is compatible with a wide array of grips, extensometers, and environmental chambers.
