MTS 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.
Each 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.
Unique 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.
Tests 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.
MTS Acumen test systems consume far less energy than other technologies. They can be installed rapidly, without the need for hydraulic pumps or related infrastructure. All that is needed is a single conventional electrical outlet, and once installed, they provide clean, quiet, and extremely cost-effective operation.
Designed for safe, user-friendly operation, the instruments include a standard T-slot table, an optional integrated enclosure, streamlined cabling, and a universal power supply. They perform consistently and accurately, test after test, yet they require very little maintenance.
