Best-Selling Fluke 1507 Insulation Resistance Tester - F0025 – Universal Testing Machine – Drick

The Universal Testing Machine has been speciallydesigned and manufactured to perform

tests in bothcompression and tensile, without having to changethe attachments.

The universal measurement of firmness and hardness is based on a physical property called

the indentation force deflection (IFD). It is calculated by determining the force required

to deflect a test piece a percentage of its original thickness using a circular indentor, which

applies a force, while also recording the degree of indentation.

IDM Instruments Pty Ltd has designed their Universal Testing Machine with fixed dual testing

capabilities comprising of compression testing on the inner and tensile testing on the outer frame.

By incorporating the dual testing space design, this eliminates the need of having two machines

required for testing. The same machine is used for compression and tensile testing.

The software program has been designed to allow testing of both compression and tensile

capabilities, enabling the same software to be used on the one machine with dual testing.

The great benefit of the Universal Testing Machine is the dual testing capability, saving time

for operators needing to change between fixtures, as they are fixed onto the machine at their

own designated area. The operator needs only to switch a button on the machine to select

from tensile to compression, which in turn speeds up production time, test set up time,

reduces operator fatigue and decreases possible setup errors.

The twin column bench-mounted Universal Testing Machine has a strong and durable frame

to withstand years of use. It offers excellent accuracy and ease of use, operating on the

IDM Instruments Pty Ltd software program. The Universal Machine can also be custom

made to accommodate a wider testing space, while leaving no restrictions on the sample

length that can be tested.
