Universal testing machine
06 June 2017
Mecmesin's OmniTest-5.0 Universal Testing Machine is designed to meet the needs both of R&D laboratories and quality assurance environments. This new generation of universal testing machine offers enhanced performance and capability, making it suitable for both product and materials testing applications to a capacity of 5kN.

The mechanical construction of the frame and drive system is said to offer excellent rigidity with negligible frame deflection. The frame takes up a relatively small bench space has an integrated cable management system and extended throat depth for testing of samples to 200mm in diameter. The OmniTest-5.0 has a simple-to-use front panel for selection of test parameters live load and length readings and precise manual crosshead positioning using the multifunction controller.
Mecmesin’s new generation of electronics gives active load control and improved motor performance giving a speed range from 0.01 to 1200mm/min with a positional resolution of 0.001mm. The OmniTest-5.0 incorporates state of the art electronics and a new Enhanced Load Sensor (ELS). Load accuracy is 0.5% rdg with a resolution of 1:25000 allowing a wider range of tests to be performed without the need to select a different load sensor.
Flexible, reliable, and offering excellent value for money, the OmniTest-5.0 is supplied with Mecmesin’s new VectorPro MT material analysis software enabling testing to many internationally recognised standards to be carried out. The system can be supplied with or without an extensometer depending on the customer’s actual testing requirement.
Powerful, intuitive and touch screen friendly, Vector Pro MT has been designed with ease of use at the forefront through an intuitive drag & drop test builder, icon driven graphing tools and highly configurable reporting options.
VectorPro MT is built around a database that logs user permissions, test parameters, test versions and results. This database architecture provides an audit trail and e-signature functionality delivering compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 requirements.
The OmniTest-5.0 can test a wide range of materials, including metals, polymers, composites, fabrics, glass and ceramics using the extensive selection of grips and fixtures, around which Mecmesin’s renowned application solving capability is based.
