SMS' instruments are flexible, precise, and tough enough to quantify the material properties of an incredible array of products.
A wide range of manufacturers rely on Stable Micro Systems' instruments because they are easy to use and provide very flexible, accurate, and reproducible test results. All of the customary ASTM Standard compression and tension tests can be conducted with our instruments on almost any material.
Texture Technologies has been providing companies with materials testing equipment for over 25 years. Many companies use SMS' TA.HDPlus for higher force tests. All of SMS' instruments are designed and manufactured for long-term reliability and accuracy and can perform tests in both tension and compression for cyclic, flexure, constant strain, sinusoidal, creep and stress relaxation. There are many built-in test procedures to meet most requirements and standards.
Operational reliability is enhanced by the inclusion of total mechanical overload protection and electronic monitoring so that the instrument can safely recover even from full-speed impact without damaging load cells. These protections mean that technicians, summer interns, students, and even managers and professors can step up to our instruments and conduct tests without any fear of breaking the equipment. Operators are more willing to explore and experiment with new ideas when they are not afraid of breaking equipment.
Really? Is hardness all that you've got?
Measure a great deal more than hardness.
Our instruments measure much more than than hardness. The instrument can test a wide array of parameters in either tension and compression and the tests can be for cyclic, flexure, constant strain, sinusoidal, creep and stress relaxation and other attributes. The TA.HDPlus provides best-in-class ease of use, flexibility, accuracy and repeatability, making it an invaluable method for quantifying your products.
Flexibility & Efficiency & Accuracy.
The TA.HDPlus is designed and manufactured for long-term reliability and accuracy of materials testing and leather testing applications. It will perform tests in both tension and compression for cycling, flexure, constant strain and stress relaxation. Standard and custom calculations can be made automatically in real time.
All of the strength capabilities built in.
Our software allows the instrument to be deployed in almost every industry. Adhesives. Bio-medical. Elastomers. Polymers. Components. Plastics. Textiles. Leather. Test methods for these industries are built in or customizable without the need to buy any other industry-module or suite of test methods.
"We are a Leather Facility. Our customers want to know how our leather holds up under their requirements. They want to see Reports. Our machine allows us to perform these tests and to record our results. I like the quick response (from the support team). Always willing to give feedback on what the problem could be. Offering to visit our facility if we do have a problem and are unable to find the problem ourselves. The support has been fantastic! I cannot say enough about it."
