With force capacities from 5 kN to 600 kN and smooth crosshead control for efficient test execution, the system accommodates a wide range of materials used in research, education, and production environments. The 2600 also offers generous vertical test space and flexible fixture mounting, improving usability for varied sample sizes and reducing setup complexity for busy R&D and quality laboratories.
Powerful Testing For Real-World Results
The ADMET eXpert 2600 delivers reliable, medium-duty testing performance for R&D and quality teams who need accurate tension, compression, bending, and shear testing across a wide range of materials. With configurable capacities from 5 kN to 600 kN, eXpert 2600 systems provide the stability and control required for both routine QA checks and more advanced research applications. The balanced dual column design improves operator confidence and test repeatability, enabling efficient evaluation of specimen types ranging from plastics and metals to composites and industrial components.
Reliable Test Performance For Life.
The eXpert 2600 series comes in table-top and floor-standing forms, and the rigid dual-column architecture delivers consistent, repeatable results that R&D and quality teams can trust across daily workflows. Precision load measurement and stable crosshead control help eliminate variability, making it easier to compare data across batches, operators, and test methods. Whether you’re validating new materials or performing routine QA checks, the system maintains accuracy over years of use.
Efficient and Flexible Operation.
A wide range of force capacities and generous test space allow the eXpert 2600 to handle a many different test specimen sizes and material types without constant reconfiguration. Smooth test setup and quick fixture changes help labs move from one method to the next with minimal downtime. This flexibility supports efficient research cycles and keeps production testing running on schedule.
Designed with Safety In Mind.
The system’s rigid frame and balanced drive train enhance operator confidence, especially when running higher-force tests. Controlled crosshead movement and predictable system behavior reduce the risks associated with testing metals, composites, and other strong materials. All eXpert 2600 machines can be supplied with electrically-interlocked safety shields for maximum operator security. Built with dependable hardware and protective safeguards, the 2600 series delivers safe, consistent performance in busy lab environments.

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. MTESTQuattro and eP2 are designed to serve different testing needs, from software-driven, highly configurable test environments to streamlined digital control for routine, high-volume work. MTESTQuattro is typically selected when advanced test sequencing, extensive data analysis, or custom methods are required, while eP2 is well suited for standardized tests where simplicity and throughput are priorities. Both platforms deliver reliable servo performance and real-time data acquisition, allowing users to choose the level of control and software capability needed for their applications.
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.
eP2 Digital Controller
The eP2 is a standalone closed-loop servo controller for mechanical testing machines, providing direct load and position control at the frame without relying on a PC. Tests are configured on the controller using preset methods and numeric setpoints, with control loops running up to 1 kHz for stable force, position, and strain control. During the test, data is logged internally and then transferred to GaugeSafe software via USB for plotting, calculations, and reporting. The result is a turnkey testing core with fast setup, repeatable control, and a clean data path from actuator to report.
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.
