Stiffness compensation on the LR100K Plus machine allows compensation to be made for any deformation, however small, of the load frame, load cell and grips of the instrument itself during compression testing. Instrumental texture profile analysis was conducted by using Texture Analyzer (Lloyd Instruments, UK, model LRX PLUS) and Nexygen software (Lloyds Instruments). If the machine is to be used with a computer and NEXYGENPlus software, then the NEXYGEN- Plus. The high stiffness frame incorporates a crosshead guidance system to prevent side loading of the sample under test. NEXYGEN Plus software provides almost unlimited testing and results processing capability in a familiar Microsoft® Windows® environment. Test parameters are entered using the keypad in a sequential menu driven format.įor additional flexibility, the LR100K Plus can also be connected to a personal computer with optional Lloyd Instruments NEXYGEN Plus material test and data analysis software. To attach up to three extensometers to the LS series test machine use. The stand alone system is capable of storing up to 600 test results from a choice of ten programmable test set ups. A back lit 4 line LCD display shows the test and set up information in a wide choice of user selectable languages and units.
The LR100K Plus features an integral user interface consisting of a side mounted control console with large, positive action membrane keys, allowing complex tests to be performed at the touch of a button.
The machine is microprocessor controlled and incorporates world proven 32 bit technology for highly accurate load measurement and rapid data acquisition. The LR100K Plus is a floor standing machine featuring a twin column design with a crosshead travel range of 1150 mm (45.3 in). Nowakowski, 2016 Öztürk et al.
The LR100K Plus advanced materials testing machine incorporates an extensive range of features making it ideal for performing complex as well as routine testing applications up to 100 kN (22481 lbf). The cutting tests were performed by Lloyd LRX Plus Materials Testing Machine.
