AGS-X
Practical Testing Solutions
The Shimadzu Autograph AGS-X series provides superior performance and practical testing solutions for a wide array
of applications. Offering high-level control and intuitive operation, the AGS-X series sets a new standard for strength
evaluations while providing the utmost in safety considerations in a modern, stylish design.
- Short Test Cycle Time – up to 3300 mm/min return speed and 3000mm/min crosshead speed.
- Short-column Type (Model SC) Added
- Power-saving Standby Mode Reduces Environmental Stress The AG-Xplus reduces the power consumption in standby mode.
- Easy Stress and Strain Control – The autotuning of the control parameters in real time based on stress and strain data measured during testing as well as reliable comparison of unknown sample data, without pre-testing. In addition, the autotuning function easily provides the strain control required by ISO 6892-2009.
- Ultrafast Sampling Catches the Most Sudden Strength Fluctuations – Ultrafast 0.2 msec (5 kHz) sampling captures dramatic fluctuations in test force, such as the failure of brittle materials
- Eight-fold Increase in Control Resolution Enhances the Reliability of Test Results
- More Accurate Stress-strain Curves from Small to High Forces
- Confidence and Reliability
AGX
Table Top Universal tester
Smarter work space
Everything you need in a standalone tester
- Greater Ease-of-Operation – Open, multi-table design
- Comprehensive Safety Measures
- Accessible Control – Use the main operation panel to call up test methods from a PC
- Optional jog controller for convenient crosshead positional adjustments
- Even the complex becomes easy
- TRAPEZIUM LITE X software macros significantly enhance the efficiency of testing work.
AG-IC Series Precision Universal Testers
- The Smart Controller from the high-end AG-IC series is supplied as standard. In addition to the basic start/stop operations, the Smart Controller allows fine adjustment of jig positioning, and safe and reliable air-chuck operation in proximity to the specimen.
- Use any PC with the AG-IC
- No special board is required for communications between the instrument and PC. A desktop or laptop computer can be used.
- TRAPEZIUM2 software for AG-IC provides a superior test environment
EZ-X Series Tabletop Testers
Compact Testers Offer Precise, High-speed Analysis
New Design
- The compact size fits easily on tables.
- Lower table height (20% lower) and larger work space
- This makes it easier to exchange jigs and samples and to perform a wide variety of operations.
High Performance
- EZ Test uses a high-precision load cell that guarantees accuracy to within ±0.5% of the indicated value over a wide range from 1/500 to 1/1 of the load cell capacity.
- Tests can be performed at up to maximum load capacity levels across the entire test speed range from 0.001 to 2000 mm/min (HS model).
- Maximum test speed: 2000mm/min, Return speed: 3000mm/min (HS model)
- The high return speed significantly reduces the wait time between tests, even for those with long displacements.
- EZ Test can measure 1000 data per sec, enabling accurate detection of peak force.
Improved Usability
- Enhanced usability by the adjustable controller. This allows for adjusting the control panel position and angle to match the posture of the operator.
- Visual, user-friendly TRAPEZIUMX software
- 4 software platforms – Single, Cycle, Control, and Texture – enable various types of evaluation.
- Power-saving function reduces power consumption by over 55% compared to previous models.
