WE ARE MANUFACTURERS.
SINCE 2005, WE HAVE BEEN COMMITTED
TO QUALITY IN THE MANUFACTURE OF
EQUIPMENT FOR TESTING AND QUALITY
CONTROL.
IDM TEST is a Spanish company made up of highly qualified
professionals who are specialists in the development of laboratory
equipment.

Our goal is the customer’s total satisfaction. The team, the

technology applied to our measurement equipment and our
commitment to continuous improvement are the only formula to
offer you an excellent service and products.
DISCOVER THE NEW GENERATION OF
UNIVERSAL TESTING MACHINES FOR
ALL TYPES OF INDUSTRY.
As a result of the combination of our extensive experience in
testing on all types of material and our technological capacity, we
have designed a new series of universal testing machines (UTM)
with one and two columns that are outstanding for their precision,
versatility and easy operation.
MTC and MTC-L (1 column)

UNIVERSAL TESTING MACHINES WITH

ONE COLUMN
MANUFACTURE OF STANDARD AND
CUSTOMISED MODELS:
With testing frames for capacities of 1 kN or 5 kN, we manufacture two stand-
ard models according to the length of the test column: MTC and MTC-L. It is also
possible to customise the length of the column according to requirements.

Single-column universal testing machines are designed to test a wide range of

materials in tension, compression, bending, tearing or peeling: plastics, films,
rubber, packaging, non-woven material, filter material, leather, adhesives, paper,
aluminium, food, toys, medical products, etc.

TECHNOLOGY FOR YOUR

LABORATORY:
High-resolution colour touchscreen:
Change between numerical and graphic display modes. Real-time data to facilitate its interpretation.

Control unit:
Push-button controls to position the crossbar, stop, test characteristics and statistics. Configuration of the
test routines, both standardised—ISO, ASTM and DIN—and customised. Possibility of pre-recording up to
100 different tests or routines.

Machine connection to other devices without external software:

Directly to a printer (PCL5 protocol) or to a PC to send files (csv, txt, pdf, etc.). To extract the information
from the tests, we can connect it to a pen drive.

Connection via software:

The machine can be connected to a PC with our CAPTURE software to save the tests, operate the
machine and have greater autonomy and control of the UTM.

Fast and simple changes:

Quick change of load cells and automatic recognition of these. The changes of jaws or devices are
equally simple, allowing us to carry out a wide variety of tests on almost any material. The selection of
the correct cell allows the machine to perform the tests with maximum precision.
Robustness and rigidity:
The combination of aluminium and steel in the
construction of the machine allows us to safely
handle a load greater than 150% of the
nominal capacity.

Complete control of speed and movement:

The servomotor and low-friction ball screw
drive allows us to have control over speed
and precision in the position that makes it
possible to test all types of material.

Safety for overload protection: The ma-

chines have a double safety system, both
electronic (programming) and physical
(travel limiters). Load cells can be tared with
a maximum of 20% of their nominal capacity
without affecting the full scale.

Connection interfaces and data outputs:

RS-232 using ASCII mode and super high-
speed binary mode, USB2 and Ethernet RJ45
10/100.

Connection of strain gauges:

Encoder, LVDT and laser types, to measure
the elongation of the sample. All compatible
strain gauges have their own anchors to
facilitate their use and removal when they are
not being used. We also have an internal
pneumatic circuit, with air inlet and connection
at the rear, to connect the devices that need
air without having the pneumatic tubes in
sight.

UNIVERSAL TESTING MACHINES WITH

TWO COLUMNS
DESIGNED FOR TESTS WITH HEAVY
LOADS:
With capacities of 10 kN, 25 kN, 50 kN and 100 kN, the double column DTC
machines increase the force range and allow us to carry out higher load tests on
different types of material (specimens) and parts (finished product), etc.

All of the machines in the DTC series are desktop, which makes them very versatile
for use in a laboratory or on the production lines themselves. Made of steel and
aluminium, they are characterised by their robustness and rigidity, with a perfectly
balanced weight.

Tests on large volume parts:

The distance between columns of 420 mm and
a travel of 1100 mm allows us to carry out tests
on large volume pieces and to fit a wide variety
of devices.

Customised temperature control:

We have temperature and humidity control
chambers in order to perform tests in condi-
tions ranging from the cold of the Arctic to high
temperature furnaces. Temperature ranges from
–70 to 450°C.

Strain gauges:
As with the single-column MTC machines, we
can connect a wide variety of strain gauges,
both for small and large extensions such as those
occurring with rubber.
