Machine operation:
Desktop equipment for the next generation controlled by the laptop PC and LYNX CRUSH TEST software. The results are shown in real time on the graphical displays within the software. The software allows you to compare data, record results, and find statistical averages of similar tests.
With the ability to function at varying speeds, you can get accurate results during various crush tests, while not wasting time waiting for the machine to return to its initial test position. The maximum speed of the machine is 125 mm/min.
