Autographs AG-X plus series are high-precision universal tensile machines for physical and mechanical testing of various materials. The machines of this series are supplied in both table and floor versions with different accuracy classes and a wide range of applied loads. The presence of auxiliary functions makes the work convenient and simple.

Features
- Ultra-high-speed data sampling ensures you don’t miss any force changes. Ultra-fast 0.2ms (5kHz) data sampling ensures that sudden force changes, often seen at the start of a test, are recorded. Data sampling mode settings are easily changed during the test, allowing for detailed examination of the most important stages.
- Increased resolution of the control system (factor 8) increases the reliability of test results. Test results are significantly dependent on the resolution of the speed control, particularly in the low speed range. AG-X plus has unprecedented resolution and reliable control, which increases the reliability of the test results obtained.
- The accuracy of the S-S diagram is achieved due to high-precision load sensors. Increasing the efficiency of testing and the ability to perform verification without switching the load cell is achieved due to the wide guaranteed accuracy range of the load cell from 1/1000 to 1/1. The equipment is available in two accuracy classes with an error of 1% and 0.5%.
- Easy installation of the load cell. The ability to quickly change the load cell for machines with a capacity of up to 10 kN, where this procedure is required quite often. An additional option for machines with a capacity of 20 kN and more is the ability to attach an additional low-power load cell without disconnecting the main load cell.
- Reliability and dependability. A frame with high rigidity is a necessary condition for creating functional testing machines. The AG-X plus frame is designed based on the latest technologies. The traverse guide is adapted to all models, floor and table type, and the torsional rigidity is significantly increased compared to standard models.
- Performing tests without a PC. The optional LCD touch screen allows you to quickly select a test method without connecting to a PC, and also allows you to see the tension/compression diagram on the display screen.
- Saving test methods to a flash memory card (USB interface). Test methods stored on a flash card are easily transferred to the testing machine, tests are performed without a PC. Test results can also be stored on a flash card and transferred to a PC.
- New software «TRAPEZIUM X». The software allows full control of the testing process via PC and is suitable for any Shimadzu machine.
- A wide selection of packages and accessories for autographs of this series. Grips, compression/flexure testing fixtures, extensometers, width sensors, adhesion attachments and thermostats.
Autograph modifications
AG-X plus desktop type
*1: The accuracy of the traverse speed is calculated by calculating the amount of traverse movement within a certain period of time at the traverse speed from 0.5 mm/min to 500 mm/min under normal operating conditions.
*2: Stroke during stretching is the value obtained under the condition of using grippers of the MWG type (without the wedge type). The stroke can be increased. For a load of less than 5 kN, the stroke during tension is the value obtained under the condition of using grippers of the SGG type (flat grippers of the screw type).
*3: Standards JIS B7721, EN 10002-2, ISO 7500-1 and ASTM E4 recommend re-verification after installation of the testing machine.
*4: The touch panel of the LCD display (option) is necessary to use the Dataletty integrator (option).
*5: The Dataletty integrator (option) and the TRAPEZIUM X operating software cannot be used together. The presented values were measured on the basis of agreed test standards.
Tabletop models AG-X plus SC (with reduced column length)
The AG-Xplus SC model is designed to perform a wide range of physical and mechanical tests, including adhesion tests, printed circuit board bending tests, shear tests of electronic component solder points, tests of electronic component leads, measurement of PCB installation and removal forces, and other tests.
Main features
- Small, rigid frame
- High accuracy thanks to high data sampling rate
- High quality assembly (according to Japanese quality standards)
- Force measurement accuracy ±0.5% from 1/100 to 1/1000 of the nominal load cell power
- Ideal for testing various materials thanks to the ability to adjust the test speed
