1. Product Function and Application
The PC UTM XY Gantry is a programmable 4-axis universal test machine (UTM) designed for precise tension and compression testing across multiple specimens or positions.
Its XY gantry system allows sequential positioning of the actuator to repeat tests at specific locations, enabling high-throughput material testing.
The machine is ideal for testing foam, textiles, leather, plastics, adhesives, and other materials that require complex multi-point testing or automated repeatable procedures.
