More power and more precision
Titan 10 and Titan 25 empower tensile and compressive testing across a broad spectrum of standards, accommodating various textile testing needs.
Overview
Incorporating the latest advances in textile testing technology, our new Titan dual column universal testing machine is offered in both 10 kN and 25 kN capacities, ensuring versatility and effortless operation.
With TestWise™ software as its driving force, the Titan series guarantees unparalleled power, precision, and accuracy for conducting comprehensive tensile and compression strength evaluations of textiles. The Titan and TestWise™ comes equipped with over 750 pre-loaded standards and methods, alongside a wide selection of compatible tooling.
Discover the distinctive features of both Titan 10 and Titan 25 models.
Interchangeable tools
Extensive range of tool-free accessories
These versatile dual column instruments enable testing on larger specimens across a wide range of tensile and compression tests.
The extensive range of tool-free specimen grips are interchangeable between Titan 5, Titan 10 and Titan 25 using a unique pin and post connection system. Load cells from 100N to 25kN allow testing to as low as 2N giving laboratories maximum flexibility and return for their investment.
Effortless control
Improved manual testing
Titan 10 and Titan 25 models feature an optional handheld controller for greater manual control during testing, especially useful when gripping test specimens of variable or irregular sizes. They can also be controlled using the foot pedal, or the TestWise software.
TestWise™
Advanced test software
Advanced test software that keeps things simple, for faster, smarter testing.
Features of TestWise include:
- over 750 pre-loaded standards and retailer methods
- filters and user favourites for quickly selecting tests
- pre-loaded test parameters
- export data to PDF and Excel
- minimal user training required
Simplicity and efficiency
User-centered design
Changing jaws and other grips is tool-free, keeping the Titan 10 and Titan 25 equally simple and efficient to operate.
When loading grips or pneumatic grips, the jaws apply very light initial pressure, sufficient to hold the specimen yet safe for users.
The TestWise software automatically sets the parameters of the selected test, reducing set up time and eliminating user error.
Standards
Pre-loaded standards and test methods
Titan and TestWise have been developed based on a wide variety of national and international test standards and retailer methods.
TestWise is pre-loaded with over 750 standards and test methods, that can be further customised and saved by the user.
Safety guard
Operator health and safety
Our twin column universal testing machines (10 kN and 25 kN) can be supplied with a standard safety guard to prevent access by the operator to the testing area whilst the test is in progress. These have a rigid metal frame with integrated polycarbonate panels to allow the operator to view the test area from outside. Hinged doors are fitted with switch-activated interlock mechanisms that prevent system operation when open.
Guards for twin-column test stands are supplied with new equipment and are pre-fitted to the tester at our factory, all ready for use when unpacked and installed.
Guards for single-column test stands are provided on a solid metal platform, with location holes available for securing to a workbench, to ensure complete stability.
Safety guards are supplied with CE marking and a Declaration of Conformity in accordance with several harmonised standards of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, including BS EN ISO 12100:2010, BS EN ISO 14120:2015, BS EN ISO 14119:2013, BS EN ISO 13855:2010, BS EN ISO 13857:2008, BS EN ISO 13849-1:2015.
If the risk assessment for your application indicates protection from egress is also required, our engineers can offer a custom design to meet your needs.
Integrated safety guard
For enhanced operator safety, both Titan 10 and Titan 25 feature an integrated front hinged door and back guard for protection during high capacity testing.
TestWise™
Advanced software made simple
TestWise is a specially developed test analysis software that complements our Titan range of universal testing machines. The outstanding features of the software streamline the testing process, enhancing efficiency and result accuracy.
TestWise key features
Simple software interface
Titan is complemented by TestWise, an intuitive test analysis software requiring minimal training.
Streamlined search and favourites
Effortlessly locate standards using search filters and create personalised lists or favourite groups for easy access to frequently used standards.
Efficient testing process
The new 'Auto-accept' feature eliminates the need to switch between the instrument and computer, while defined observations (attributes) adhere closely to standards, ensuring specificity and relevance.
Effortless PDF saving
All reports can be swiftly saved directly to PDF, streamlining the final test report process.
Growing standards database
With over 750 pre-loaded standards and test methods, including ASTM, ISO, JIS, M&S, and Next, TestWise simplifies standard selection via the 'Filter' option.
Automatic parameter configuration
TestWise automatically test parameters, reducing test initiation time and eliminating user error.
Enhanced calculations
A suite of calculations for sportswear, encompassing compression, energy loss, and hystersis for stretch fabrics with elastomeric yarns (Lycra, Spandex), facilitates precise analysis.
Real-time results monitoring
Real-time presentation of extension and force values facilitates result monitoring and immediate trend identification during testing.
Tailored statistical reporting
Customisable statistical reporting, including current mean values, offers instant trend visibility in specimen test results.
Seamless Excel export
Export test data to Excel with automatic graph generation, empowering users to conduct custom analysis and generate statistics.
Personalised standard settings
In addition to the extensive library of pre-loaded standards, users can customise and save standards to suit their specific testing requirements.
Additional information
Titan is a universal testing machine that has been designed for accuracy, efficiency and ease of use. Tensile testing is used to understand and determine the maximum load that a material can withstand. The sample is subjected to a controlled tension until failure. Examples of properties that can be measured with Titan include, ultimate tensile strength, breaking strength, maximum elongation and reduction in area.
Titan can test a range of applications including:
- Yarns
- Fabrics
- Seams
- Shoes
- Ropes
- Straps
Titan 10 and 25 are dual column instruments, meaning larger samples can be tested across a full range of tests including tension, compression, stretch and recovery, tear, peel, adhesion peel and other applications. It has a vertical test space of 1200 mm and a space between columns of 460 mm.
