Dual Column Table Top Universal Testing Machine : HANSA HTS Series
HTS Series Dual Column Table Top Universal Testing Machine
The HTS Dual Column Table-Top Hansa Universal Testing Machine is a compact yet powerful material testing system designed to perform a wide range of mechanical tests on engineering materials with high precision in a benchtop format. It features a dual-column load frame that provides greater structural stability and higher load capacity compared to single-column designs, while still fitting on a tabletop or workbench for space-efficient use in labs and small-scale testing environments.
This machine is engineered for tensile, compression, bending, shear and related tests, enabling determination of material properties such as tensile strength, compressive strength, elongation, yield strength and elastic modulus. It is equipped with a servo or motorized ball screw drive for smooth and controlled force application, and includes advanced control and analysis software that displays real-time data (force vs. displacement graphs), automatically calculates key results, and generates detailed test reports.
