eXpert 6000
Planar Biaxial Testing System For
Multi-Axis Material Characterization
The eXpert 6000 is a planar biaxial testing system designed to characterize material behavior under true multi-axial stress states. With load capacities up to 5 kN per axis and cyclic fatigue testing up to 10 Hz, it supports both static and dynamic biaxial test methods. Precision-controlled actuators deliver synchronized loading with configurable stroke and speed ranges. Flexible gripping options accommodate metals, polymers, composites, elastomers, and thin films. Integrated temperature control enables realistic simulation of in-service conditions. Optional Digital Image Correlation (DIC) provides full-field strain measurement for advanced material analysis.
Designed for Multi-Axis Material Characterization
The eXpert 6000 planar biaxial testing system is designed to evaluate material behavior under simultaneous, multi-directional loading, providing insight that uniaxial testing cannot capture. Built for research and advanced development environments, the system delivers precise, synchronized control of two orthogonal axes to accurately reproduce complex stress states encountered in real-world applications.
Precision Biaxial Loading
The eXpert 6000 applies controlled loads in two perpendicular directions with capacities up to 5 kN per axis, enabling accurate planar biaxial testing of metals, polymers, composites, elastomers, and thin films. Independent actuator control allows for proportional or non-proportional loading paths to simulate realistic service conditions.
Static and Cyclic Fatigue Capability
Designed for both static and cyclic biaxial testing, the system supports fatigue testing at frequencies up to 10 Hz. Programmable waveforms and synchronized motion enable reliable evaluation of durability, damage evolution, and failure under repeated multi-axial loading.
Configurable for Advanced Measurement
The eXpert 6000 accommodates a wide range of gripping options, specimen geometries, and environmental accessories, including temperature control. Optional Digital Image Correlation (DIC) provides full-field strain measurement, allowing detailed analysis of strain distribution and material response across the test area.
Advanced Control Systems
ADMET materials testing systems are built around closed-loop servo control, enabling precise regulation of load, position, and strain throughout a test. On advanced systems, that control is paired with a PC-based software environment designed to support complex test execution and detailed data analysis. Users can define custom test sequences, apply advanced load and motion profiles, and precisely manage transitions between ramps, holds, and cyclic segments. High-resolution data acquisition and configurable reporting tools support in-depth evaluation of results and straightforward alignment with ASTM and ISO requirements. This architecture is well suited for research-driven testing, evolving test methods, and applications where flexibility and data quality directly affect outcomes.
MTESTQuattro
MTESTQuattro is the PC-based controller and materials testing software platform behind most ADMET materials testing systems. It delivers precise closed-loop control with an 8 kHz servo update rate, high-resolution data acquisition, and built-in ASTM/ISO test workflows. The blue controller manages real-time machine motion and translates sensor inputs, while the software handles test setup, execution, analysis, and reporting. Together, they enable repeatable tensile, compression, flexural, fatigue, and custom test methods for both routine QA and advanced R&D, making MTESTQuattro a scalable solution for new test systems and retrofit applications alike.
Precise Control
Both control platforms use closed-loop servo control to regulate load, position, and strain throughout a test. High update rates and responsive feedback help maintain stable loading during ramps, holds, and cyclic profiles. This level of control supports accurate, repeatable results across a wide range of materials testing applications. Consistent control behavior also reduces test-to-test variability when running long series or multi-specimen programs.
Intuitive Test Setup
ADMET control systems are designed to streamline test setup while maintaining flexibility. Standard test methods can be configured quickly, and custom test sequences can be built as needed using the testing software. Clear workflows reduce setup time, limit operator error, and support consistent testing across users and shifts. Saved test configurations allow validated methods to be reused without rebuilding procedures for each run.
Powerful Analysis and Reporting
Test data is captured in real time and processed using built-in materials testing software aligned with ASTM and ISO requirements. Results can be reviewed, compared, and exported in standard formats for traceability. This supports audit-ready documentation for both research and quality-focused testing environments. Automated calculations and standardized reports help ensure results are interpreted consistently across projects and teams.

Long-term Value
With every purchase, ADMET offers free technical and application support for the life of your testing system. Whether you’re faced with a technical challenge or need an outside perspective on test design, we will partner with you to make your testing easy and successful.
Calibration Services
ADMET offers calibration services on new materials testing systems both before shipment and as a field service for any customer in need. Although ADMET utilizes the highest quality equipment available, regular calibration ensures that these components perform as required so the results generated can be trusted with confidence. A list of ADMET’s accredited calibration scope is available via the link.
Retrofit Capabilities
ADMET can extend the life of an aging testing system of any brand with our retrofit services. We often upgrade older systems with modern controllers, advanced software, and new fixturing to meet today’s materials testing needs. This extends lifespan, improves functionality, and improves the lifetime value of your investment. For a list of our retrofit capabilities, visit our retrofit webpage.
