Dillon GTS-1000 - Manual (Page 3)

INTRODUCTION
The motorized test stand is a tool to improve the quality of force testing results. It
helps attain the best testing repeatability by pulling or pushing at extremely consistent
speed in a direction in-line with the measuring device, such as a force gauge.
Motorized stands also improve ergonomics and testing throughput.
The Dillon GTS-1000 is a ball-screw driven digital test frame with capacity up to 1000 N
(220 lbf / 100 kg).
The dimensions, speed range and capacity have been carefully
optimized to cover the test procedures and specimen sizes most often needed by
quality departments within many sectors of R&D and production
industry. Complemented by a Dillon force gauge, grips and
accessories, it constitutes a key component in force
measurement systems to accurately test a wide range of
products.
This tester may be used for tensile and compression tests of
many types (e.g. break, peel, flexural, top-load and many more).
The digital controls make testing speed more accurate and the
stand more intuitive to operate.
