The eXpert 560x series is a bold new approach to low force testing at an affordable price. The rigid frame, top acting detachable actuator, detachable electronics and several motor/drive combinations allow for a variety of machine configurations. The actuator and electronics can also be sealed from moisture and airborne particles so that it can operate maintenance free in the harshest of environments. The eXpert 560x performs tension, compression and bend tests from less than 1 lb to 1,000 lb (4.5kN).
