Universal Test Machines

Tension - Compression - Materials Testing

For almost 60-years, United Testing Systems has been internationally

recognized for the design and manufacture of universal testing
machines (UTM’s) that are known for rugged construction,
high-quality, versatility and proven performance.

Protecting
Product Integrity
DragonFly UTS
All UTMs by United Testing Systems are now operated using our high-performance,
revolutionary software and controller hardware package – DragonFly UTS.

DragonFly UTS is our next generation platform designed to provide customers all of
the latest features a modern UTM requires in a powerful, but easy-to-use package.

Data Analysis & Reporting

Post-test data analysis can be performed right inside
the software, or data can easily be exported to other
applications for further analysis. Creating, producing,
and archiving test data and reports is easy and intuitive
for operators of any skill level.

Test Method Library

New User Experience DragonFly UTS comes with a large library of test
methods direct from the factory that meet virtually all
Using an intuitive workflow-based user interface,
ASTM, ISO, BS, EN, GB, DIN, and related international
DragonFly UTS software is designed to support all
standards to get you up and running quickly. Test
types of UTM users from R&D labs to Quality Control
methods can easily be imported or exported between
personnel in production environments.
