Introducing the new MTS Advantage
> Booth:
video extensometer
Hall 5A - N75
The new MTS Advantage video extensometer delivers the flexibility,
accuracy and repeatability needed in applications where it is difficult to measure strain using conventional means. This extensometer combines several features that make it an outstanding choice to
measure strain, rotation and displacement of plastics, metals, composites
and high-elongation materials.
Precise and repeatable measurement:
the magnetic-return support arm makes
it possible to move the extensometer
aside to access the specimen area and
then return it to the exact same position
again to resume measurement. When
the position of the extensometer needs
to be changed, this arm can be placed in
hundreds of positions over three axes.
Ultimate flexibility: sixteen quick-attach
measurement heads support a wide array
of gauge lengths and strain ranges. They
can be moved forward and backward
and are easy to interchange, providing
multiple measurement options.
Calibration verification: with pass/fail calibration verification blocks and
a software calibration wizard that can be used to confirm setup to the desired ASTM E83 or ISO 9513 class, this extensometer delivers accurate
results.
Easy installation and positioning: the new AVX mounts on the left, right,
front or back of a load frame, and the height can be easily adjusted manually or with a power tool.

Non-contact portable measurement system
The system recently implemented at CoLT takes measurements without contact and regardless of the materials. For
test specimens subjected to static and dynamic loads, it detects and provides 3D surface coordinates, 3D displacements and speed, strain at the specimen surface and strain rates. The provided data and images are used to validate the
finite element (FE) calculations. Based on a comparison of the deformation image and the data, the correct modelling
of the FE model can be confirmed or a difference can be detected. This comparison can be included in the final calculation report as a means of validation. To this end, all further load cases can be calculated without additional tests. What is
unique at CoLT is the combination of material and component testing, where the two systems - that is ARAMIS (digital
image correlation) and PONTOS (3D motion analysis) - can be joined in a single application case.
CoLT uses its new system for several industries such as aerospace and aeronautics, as well as to test medical devices, automotive and railway components, or special-purpose machinery.

UVX - A video extensometer for everyday testing
Key to the UVX's uniqueness is that measurement data is captured by pre-calibrated extensometer modules that are
specified by gauge length and strain range. Everything is set up in the factory so that for the test technician or materials
engineer, there is no need to understand optics, or worry about focus, camera settings or lighting. Simply clip in the
module that is suitable for your test, define what you want to measure, and you are good to go. The UVX maintains and
extends Imetrum's market leadership in terms of accuracy, and is able to seamlessly integrate with almost all brands of test
machines. In addition, every aspect of the system has been designed to both maximise throughput speed and minimise the
opportunity for experimental errors, whether from specimen type, test setup or user technique. Dr Paul Waterfall, Imetrum's
product manager comments: "After extensive research and consultation, we are excited to launch UVX for routine material testing.
With UVX, video extensometry has come of age, and we are confident that mainstream test labs will find the device to be a cost-effective
solution, as they seek to deliver higher-quality materials properties data more efficiently."
