The HTS Series Table-Top Single-Column UTM is widely used for low-load mechanical testing of materials where high accuracy and compact design are required. It is suitable for tensile, compression, flexural, shear, peel, and adhesion tests on a broad range of materials.
It is commonly applied in plastics and polymer testing for evaluating tensile strength, elongation, flexural strength, and bonding performance of molded parts, sheets, films, and granules.
In rubber and elastomer industries, the machine is used for testing rubber strips, seals, O-rings, hoses, and soft components under controlled low-force conditions.
For packaging materials, it supports testing of paper, cardboard, corrugated boxes, laminates, foils, and films to measure tensile strength, tear resistance, peel strength, and compression behavior.
The system is ideal for textiles and fibers, including yarns, fabrics, ropes, and non-woven materials, helping determine tensile strength, elongation, and seam strength.
In electronics and electrical components, it is used for testing wires, cables, terminals, solder joints, connectors, and small assemblies requiring precise low-load force measurement
