The Chatillon LF Plus digital test stand is an easy to use solution for force measurement and materials testing applications up to 1 kN (225 lb) capacities. The machine uses interchangeable XLC Series load cells or a digital force gauge as the measurement device. Tension and compression testing with cycling to load and extension limits are standard features. The machine can be equipped with a variety of accessories including: grips, fixtures, compression frames and extensometers.

The LF Plus digital test stand features an innovative design that maximizes working space and simplifies operation and maintenance. The large work surface accommodates large specimens and can be specified with optional work surfaces for specialized fixtures or applications.

The Chatillon LF Plus Series displays load and extension information on a highly legible LCD console with integral membrane keypad. The machine’s intuitive firmware displays prompts and menus, which guide an authorized user through machine operations. Users can choose from a range of display languages.

The test stand performance can be maximized when combined with our NEXYGEN FM application software. This Windows based software is equally easy-to-use and allows detailed force measurement and material testing data to be stored and displayed in graphical and tabular formats.

Chatillon NexyGen FM Software

NOTE: For use with the Chatillon LF Plus test stands only. For all other uses, NexyGen FM is replaced with the new Chatillon NexyGen TCD software package.

NEXYGEN FM software integrates directly into your Chatillon force testing system. The software helps you collect and analyze your force load results and extension data for a common set of pre-configured test setups. Like the other NEXYGEN products, NEXYGEN FM software is easy to setup and use. It features seamless OLE2 integration with Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint and Outlook Microsoft products. You can easily create detailed and comprehensive reports using common, familiar software packages.

NEXYGEN FM incorporates common navigational features to minimize training and to help you get up and running quickly and easily. Standard "drag and drop", cut, copy, paste and pull down menus, intelligent prompts, help functions and more make the use of this software easy and intuitive, even for the inexperienced user.

Pre-configured test setups are provided which you use to specify and select attributes for your particular test. Software consoles are provided that serve as your interface to the desired testing machine. Using NEXYGEN FM software, you can control test stand operations remotely from your personal computer and collect and analyze your measurement results. NEXYGEN FM software also simplifies the setup process by presenting the operator with only relevant parameters to configure. This eliminates confusion and gets you up and running faster with more confidence.

NEXYGEN FM presents your results in tabular and graphical formats. Your graph can be specified with user-defined or default axes. You can display stress/strain curves and the slope line. You can zoom in on your trend line and include annotations to your results with markers associated with specific points on your trend line. You can even overlay one trend line from a test with another to make a graphical comparison of your curves. You can even email your tabular results to a coworker. The coworker can view the tabular results and double-click onto the row data to display the associated graph.

NEXYGEN FM software can be configured to automatically print a report using MS word. You can create a Word template and NEXYGEN FM software reads the template and inserts individual results or result statistics at the relevant points in the document. You can even create Word macros that allow you to create virtually any type of report from any type of result. You can also configure your reporting to work with an MS Excel macro and have your data exported directly into an Excel worksheet.

• Pull to Break - deforms a sample until the sample breaks. Force require to break the sample and the deformation at which the break occurred are measured. Users may enter sample dimensions to record stress and strain.
• Pull to Limit - Similar to Pull to Break test, but typically used when you don't expect the sample to break. The test will deform the sample to a specified amount, either with a specified force or to a specified deflection point.
• Compress to Rupture - Deforms a sample until the sample breaks. Force required to break the sample and the deformation at which the break occurred are measured. Users may enter sample dimensions to record stress and strain.
• Compress to Limit - Similar to Compress to Rupture test, but typically used when you don't expect the sample to rupture. Test deforms the sample until a specified amount, either with a specified force or to a specified deflection point.
• Cycling - Involves repeatedly deflecting a sample between two limits (force or extension). The process stops when the sample breaks, when a number of cycles have been completed, or when a specified time period has expired.

System Requirements (minimum):
