This system has been created to be installed on universal testing machines. It is installed on the original machine; it allows the customer to obtain the same results as new and more efficient instruments, starting from machines with an outdated detection system but a very sturdy mechanical structure. New linear potentiometers or optical scales, load cells and/or pression sensors are installed according to the model and type of instrument. The new system is connected to a detection unit which can interface with a PC.

 
The system consists of:
 
• TC measuring software for traction, compression, bend and flexion testing machines;
• Measuring optical scales or linear potentiometers for movement;
• New load cell or pression sensors (if necessary);
• Digital control unit with microprocessor;
• USB security key;
• CD ROM with original software;
• PC on customer’s request.
