Software enables dynamic materials
testing
The combination of NEXYGEN MT software and Ondio application builder software allows Lloyd Instruments' universal testing machines to be used in dynamic materials testing.
The powerful combination of NEXYGEN MT materials test and data analysis software and Ondio application builder software allows Lloyd Instruments' universal testing machines to be used in dynamic materials testing applications This means that samples under test can have other external parameters controlled or monitored as part of the test, with the results collected and presented in the required format by the software

Mechanical test stand measures force precisely
0odular bench top mechanical test stands are intended for accurate force gauge testing up to 500lb (2.2kN) force.
Semi-automatic rig tests inhaler firing mechanisms
A semi-automated solution to test the firing mechanisms of pharmaceutical 'one shot' pressurised metered dose inhaler canisters is believed to be the first of its type developed.
Applications are varied.
Temperature is an important parameter and the software can either simply monitor temperature values from a device such as a thermocouple, or take control of heating and/or cooling devices to allow tests to be carried out at controlled temperatures or through different temperature cycles.
Other examples include monitoring parameters in onboard chips in credit cards as the cards are flexed; monitoring transmission of optical fibres during compression and measuring short circuits in electrical wires during crush tests.
NEXYGEN MT features a vast library of international standard tests for many different applications and may be used to control Lloyd Instruments' 'Plus', EZ and LR Series universal testing machines, the Davenport MFI-10 Melt Flow Indexer and HDT/VICATPlus, and supports the comprehensive range of Chatillon digital force gauges.
NEXYGEN software, however, offers far more than just control facilities.
It also includes strict multilevel security and audit trails for complete traceability of users and data.
Additional analysis is possible using video capture and 'live' test playback, and integrated drivers allow machine control in the LabVIEW platform.
