Understanding Single Column Universal testing machine Ecosystem
Similar to large hydraulic universal testers, bench-top Single Column Testing Machines consist of two core modules: high-rigidity single-column load frame and full-digital measurement & closed-loop control system. KASON ETM503 is an integrated compact high-precision test system, not just standalone hardware. It combines rigid single-column frame, precision S-type Load Cell, ball screw servo drive, handheld remote controller and professional test software, delivering consistent, accurate and repeatable test data for low-force specimens.

· Tiny components: medical consumables, small electronic parts, thin metal wires, composite soft materials
· Supported test items: tension, compression, three-point bending, four-point bending, peeling, shear, tearing, winding tensile
· Global standard compliance: Force calibration meets ASTM E4, ISO7500-1, EN 10002-2, BS1610, DIN 51221; strain measurement complies with ASTM E83, ISO 9513, BS 3846, EN 10002-4; machine structure meets CE safety directives EN 50081-1, EN 61010-1
Mechanical Structure & Stability Advantages
1. Single-column double-space layout: lower space for tensile test, upper space for compression test, crosshead stepless lifting, lightweight yet high integral rigidity
2. Precision ball screw transmission, zero-clearance drive structure, guarantees ultra-precise control of test force and deformation speed
3. Built-in limit baffle protection mechanism, prevents overload stroke damage to load cell and drive assembly
4. Machine base and moving crosshead adopt high-precision machined steel plates, effectively absorb vibration generated when soft specimens fracture, improve test repeatability
5. Servo motor top-mounted layout, reduces lower test space occupation, optimizes heat dissipation of motor, extends service life of electrical components
6. Three-point forced guiding structure, greatly enhances lateral rigidity of main frame, eliminates test deviation during long-time cyclic testing
7. Bolt-type quick fixture installation structure, convenient fast replacement of bending, peeling, winding and other test grips
Intelligent Measurement & Control System Advantages
1. Advanced full digital closed-loop controller, independent closed-loop regulation for force, displacement, deformation; real-time curve preview during parameter adjustment
2. Multi-layer safety protection: software & hardware dual overload, over-current, over-speed, travel limit protection
3. 24-bit high-speed A/D acquisition channel, ultra-high signal resolution, stable USB anti-interference data transmission
4. High-frequency pulse capture + quadruple frequency amplification technology, maximum signal capture frequency up to 5MHz
5. Handheld remote controller supports fast up/down, slow jog, clear data, reset, test start/stop one-key operation, convenient pre-adjustment of specimen clamping position
Professional Test Software Functions
1. Fully digital zero point & gain calibration for load, displacement, deformation, simple operation, high system stability
2. Mass storage of test parameter templates, one-click switching for different fixtures and specimens
3. Powerful curve processing: real-time display, zoom, overlay, self-adaptive scaling, coordinate point extraction, secondary curve analysis after test completion
4. Automatic calculation of tensile strength, elongation at break, elastic modulus, peel force, bending modulus and other core indicators
