From basic tension and compression testing to advanced materials testing, DFM series frames are versatile universal testing machines used across virtually all industries.
In order to request a quote, arrange a service or make an inquiry about this product you must select modifiers above.
DFM Series Frames are universal testing machine capable of performing a wide range of testing applications, including tensile testing, compression testing and flex testing. They can be used for the full spectrum of testing, from the basic to the highly complex. Several models make up the DFM Series – DFM-100, DFM-150, DFM-300 and the DFM-600.
Ideal for performing tension, compression, or advanced materials testing applications, DFM Series frames are the ideal choice when testing materials such as plastic, rubber, textiles, metals, composites, adhesives, bolts, screws, fasteners, wood products, and related material.
Simple and easy to use, DFM Series frames are known for the durability, dependability, and overall lower cost of ownership compared to many other brands on the market today.
DFM Series frames compatible with a range of international testing standards, including ASTM E4, DIN 51221, ISO 7500/1 and more. In addition, DragonFly UTS materials testing software is included with every frame to meet virtually all ASTM, ISO, BS, EN, GB, DIN and related standards.
All DFM Series UTM’s come equipped with DragonFly UTS software, for the ultimate in ease of use. Test methods are pre-configured at the factory based on your unique requirements.
DragonFly UTS is our next generation platform designed to provide all of the latest features that a modern UTM requires in a powerful but easy-to-use package. Using an intuitive workflow-based user interface, it supports all types of UTM users, from R&D labs to quality control personnel in production environments.
From the first screen the operator sees to the final data analysis and reporting screen, DragonFly UTS is designed to provide a smooth, intuitive, and easily repeated workflow-based environment unique to UTM users and applications.
DragonFly UTS is more than just new software. Along with our innovative software, we have also developed our next generation DAQC4 Hardware Controller to provide the most reliable and highest quality data and machines control possible from our UTM’s.
DragonFly UTS comes complete with a large library of test methods to get you up and running quickly. Test methods can easily be imported or exported between systems running DragonFly UTS, making it easy to share methods and data across systems.
DFM Series Universal Testing Machines are available in several capacities to match your specific application – 100 kN, 150 kN, 300 kN, and 600 kN.
While floor model frames come in standard sizes, taller or wider frames can be manufactured if the need arises. Just get in touch and let us know your specifications.
A compression Testing Machine (CTM) is used to measure the compressive strength of a material. The CTM is designed to apply a compressive load to the sample until it fails. A universal testing machine (UTM), also known as a universal tester, materials testing machine or materials test frame, is used to test the tensile strength and compressive strength of materials.
We have a range of other UTMs and frames to suit a wide range of applications.
