A range of high performance materials testing equipment and its Nexygenplus software from Lloyd Instruments will be shown by Ametek at the Control 2007 exhibition.

Ametek will be showing a range of high performance materials testing equipment and powerful Nexygenplus software from Lloyd Instruments at the Control 2007 exhibition in Sinsheim, Germany This will include a twin column LR10KPlus instrument and three single column LFPlus instruments each testing a different sample, demonstrating the flexibility of Lloyd Instruments test machines

Also on display will be an MFI-10 melt flow indexer from the Davenport range of plastic and polymer test instruments.

The LFPlus and LR10KPlus machines offer versatile materials testing capabilities for tensile, compression, flexural, peel, tear, friction and other testing applications at forces up to 1 kN, and 10 kN respectively.

They have been chosen for display from the Plus range, which features 11 instruments with capacities from 1 kN to 150 kN.

Both systems will be operating under PC control using the recently launched Nexygenplus materials test and control software, whose extensive capabilities includes test creation, data collection, reporting and exporting test data, video and still picture capture, test data security and audit trails, and test automation and customisation.

The Davenport MFI-10 melt flow indexer is an intelligent modular system, which allows fully automatic measurement of the melt flow rate of a polymer.

It can be used both by resin manufacturers and processors such as extruders and injection moulders to measure the melt flow rate and melt volume rate of thermoplastics before use in the manufacturing process.

Ametek also offers specialist test equipment such as friction testers, high force test systems up to 300 kN and texture analysers for the food industry.

Lloyd Instruments Plus Series of materials testing machines are suitable for use in quality control, production, laboratory, RandD and for educational use.

The application range is extensive and machines are commonly used in plastics, packaging, medical, paper, metals, composites, finished products, components and more.
