eXpert 5000 Series Modular Universal Testing Systems

A bold and flexible new approach to materials and product test systems.
The eXpert 5000 series testing systems are modular in design; you choose the
actuator, test frame and controller to meet your testing needs. Each system fea-
tures a detachable acuator with fast acting servo motor. Actuators are available
in force capacities from 1kN to 10kN with several actuators capable of perform-
ing fatigue tests at frequencies up to 10Hz. Load frames are offered in single eXpert 5603 Actuator
or dual column table top arrangements and ADMET will even custom design a Single Column Frame
MTESTQuattro Controller
frame when necessary. Two controllers are available. MTESTQuattro(R), a PC
based system for more advanced materials and product tests; and the eP2, a
standalone digital controller well suited for repetitive quality control testing.
The result is a flexible and modular system capable of performing a wide variety
of tests.
Applications
• Tension, compression and bend testing according to common ASTM and
ISO test specifications.

• Durability and cyclic fatigue testing on products and materials.

• Foam testing including IFD and constant force pound tests according to
ASTM D3574.

• Adhesive peel testing.

• Furniture, sporting goods and medical device testing.

Step 3: Select a Controller and Software

All ADMET Testing Machines can be equipped with one of two closed
loop servo controllers. MTESTQuattro®, our most advanced testing MTESTQuattro® (left)
system, is a PC-based unit that offers a wide range of flexibility in eP2 (right)
control, data acquisition, analysis, and reporting. The eP2 Digital
Controller, a standalone touch panel unit, offers a balance between
performance and simplicity. Both controllers feature 8 kHz servo up-
date periods and programmable log rates to 1 kHz.
