ForceBoard™ MultiSystem - Desktop tensile tester & Universal Testing Machine with 2D force sensing

ForceBoard™ MultiSystem is a compact, high-performance desktop tensile tester and universal testing machine for tensile, compression, and functional material testing. It enables precise tensile testing and compression testing in both vertical and horizontal orientations, while also supporting friction testing, linear wear testing, and scratch testing for application-relevant performance evaluation. The integrated tensile and compression testing software automatically detects sample stiffness and allows users to run single-cycle or cyclic test methods, with tests controlled by predefined force limits or exact displacement targets - making it ideal as a universal materials testing machine for research, quality control, and product development.

Universal Testing Machine – ForceBoard MultiSystem Applications

The ForceBoard™ MultiSystem universal testing machine is designed for tensile testing, compression testing, and functional material testing of components and products. As a compact desktop tensile tester, it supports vertical and horizontal tensile and compression tests for material characterization, product development, and quality control. Integrated friction testing, linear wear testing, and scratch testing capabilities allow this universal materials testing machine to simulate real-world application conditions using a single testing platform.
