Durable, easy-to-maintain test space

MTS Exceed systems feature durable, protective rubber matting

to extend the life and enhance the maintainability and utility of

the system test space. Both Series 40 and Series 60 systems

include heavy work surface mats that are designed to protect

the load frame base and facilitate easy test space cleanup and

maintenance. Molded edges on the mats prevent tools from

rolling off, and an integrated groove pattern channels spills

and debris away from the work area. Series 60 systems also

feature grip cavity mats and wedge covers to protect grip/

fixture interfaces.

Integrated Operations Platform

Unique to Series 60 systems, the new Integrated Operations

Platform consolidates the operator interface, system electronics

and controls, and hydraulic power supply into a single, compact

mobile unit. Ideal for demanding industrial environments, this

unit includes a conditioned internal environment to protect

components and enhance system maintainability. Ergonomic,

centralized controls, a noise-dampening enclosure, and a tidy

cabling/hose management system help ensure operator safety

and well-being.

System safety features

To help ensure operator well-being and compliance with the

latest international safety directives, MTS Exceed systems are

designed to accommodate a variety of safety features, including:

Integrated control pod

System status light indicates whether the load frame

drive is energized and ready for testing

E-stop

Test control handset

Specimen setup handset (Series 60 system only)

Mechanically adjustable limits that stop the crosshead at

predetermined points
