\n\tMTS Systems Corp., Eden Prairie, Minn., offers Acumen electrodynamic test systems, which are streamlined, highly intuitive platforms for dynamic and static testing of materials and components. Acumen test systems provide the flexibility of electrodynamic actuation, giving test professionals an easy and energy-efficient way to expand in-house test capabilities with minimal impact in the lab.<\/p>\n
\n\tEach system features excellent lateral stiffness, highly rigid load frames, a unique high-performance direct-drive motor, and an industry-leading load cell. They provide integrated tools for highly precise load and motion control, no matter which frame is chosen.<\/p>\n
\n\tUnique integration with MTS TestSuite Multipurpose Software also enables automatic setup, smooth task flow, simplified actuator control and intuitive limit setting, reducing the risk of human error.<\/p>\n
\n\tTests include fatigue and fracture, component strength and durability, tension, compression, flex\/bend, and FDA regulatory tests for biomaterials and components. Equipped with a Bionix EnviroBath, MTS Acumen test systems enable efficient, accurate testing of biomedical and general material specimens in fluids heated to body temperature.<\/p>\n
