The TA Instruments ElectroForce Apex 1 Mechanical Testing Instrument empowers scientists, engineers, and technicians to assess mechanical properties efficiently and reliably through monotonic tests, fatigue studies, and other material characterization methods, all with minimal training required. Its enhanced stroke length and user-friendly design supports precise tensile and fatigue testing of high performance and lightweight polymers and composites
Increased motor stroke range (100mm) expands testing of more materials across diverse industries, offering greater insights from one instrument.
Completes fatigue testing for complex materials up to 30% faster, resulting in faster product development and validation.
Automated controls and fewer process steps reduce operator errors and ensure precision, enabling safe and confident testing
ElectroForce Apex 1 Instrument features:
Enhanced test setup and safety: Integrated motor brake, crosshead lock sensing, and setup mode reduces training and ensures sample and system protection.
Dependable testing: Automated control system tuning and data acquisition enables confident characterization of materials, while minimizing the need to manage instrument operations.
User-friendly features: SmartSwap™ Technology simplifies sensor and configuration, while the System Status Indicator provides quick visual feedback on instrument status.
Exceptional accuracy: High-precision displacement sensor exceeds ASTM E2309 Class A standards with 1 nanometer resolution.
Flexible testing: Available in 3 configurations (axial tabletop, axial floor standing, and axial torsional floor standing) and offers a broad range of accessories for real-world testing.
