LRX SERIES

Materials Testing Machine

The LRX single column, bench mounted materials testing system provides a complete solution for testing applications
with capacities up to 2.5kN (550 lbf). Tension and compression testing with cycling to load and extension limits are
standard features. Load and extension are displayed on a highly legible LCD display console, selectable in a variety of
units. Multi-lingual instructions are displayed in a sequential menu driven format, allowing test set-up and operation to be
achieved rapidly and efficiently. The extension measurement system uses a digital encoder to achieve high resolution
throughout its extension ranges.

The LRX can be further enhanced with Lloyd Instruments state of the art materials test and results analysis software
NEXYGEN™ thanks to a supplied RS232 interface. The system is ideal for batch testing in production or routine quality
control checks. Alternatively, it can be configured as a sophisticated research grade machine incorporating multi-stage
testing for product development and complex research applications.
