Features

Lineup includes the general purpose MCT-1150 and the rigid and durable MCT-2150 with high precision ball screw and thicker crosshead
Space-saving design for use on a table. 250(W)×405(D)×711(H)mm
Precision load cell ready for immediate use. Automatic calibration on start up lets you jump straight into testing. No need to manually
calibrate the load cell.
Use your favorite jigs. Your favorite force gage and push-pull gage jigs can be used (with M6 screws). *M6 male screw
Print essential information. Maximum load and displacement can be printed with the AD-8126 mini printer (sold separately).
Ideal for use in the field. Easily configure testing speed digitally. Displacement display is standard.

Data capture software included

Supported OS: Windows XP, Vista Business, 7Pro (32bit version), USB: Ver 2.0 or higher

MCT-Logger [Recording software]
(Included with MCT-1150)

Real-time graphing. Calculate and display maximum value and displacement. Or enter curve data in CSV format.

MSAT-Lite [Data processing software]
(Included with MCT-2150)

Displays operation and processing results. Performs data analysis and graphing. Or enter curve data in CSV format.

Use for a variety of material testing (Caution: The MCT series is not waterproof)

Measuring strength required to press a button

– Measure the strength required to press a button
– Measure push sensation

Packaging heat seal strength test

– Obtain the ideal sticking strength; not so strongthat a package cannot be opened and not so weak that a package will open by itself.

Plastic bottle buckling strength test

– Buckling strength test for plastic bottles
– Measure the force needed to crush plastic bottles

Food packaging film puncture test

– Measure the force needed to pierce packaging film.
JIS Z1707 Standard Needle φ1mm Edge R 0.5mm

Testing push strength for removing medicine from PTP packaging

– Test push strength required for PTP packaging for medicine.
– Measure strength required to push medicine out of blister packs (PTP).
Strong packaging makes removing medicine difficult. Conversely, weak packaging poses the opposite problem.
Measuring the optimal strength required to push out medicine is essential.

Syringe resistance test

– Measure the strength required to push down a syringe.
– Check the smoothness of the plunger movement

Flexible cable pull out test

– Measure the connecting strength of a flexible cable
– Weak cables are pulled out too easily

Tablet strength test

– Tablet strength test
– Test the compression (crushing strength) needed to break a tablet.

Food container metal fastener strength test

– Measure the strength of metal fasteners for containers
– Ensure fasteners do not detach when lid is opened.

Bending strength test

– Measure bending strength
– Measure the bending strength of plastic, metal and ball point writing utensils

Container film opening force test

– Measure the force needed to open (peel) a film lid on a container
– Peeled at an approximately 45 degree angle
– Compatible with containers of up to 120mm diameter and up to 120mm height.

Safety cover

– Prevents samples from being broken and scattered during measurement

Discover Precision

Since its establishment in 1977, A&D has contributed to the development of industry and society through “weighing and measurement.” Today, our weighing and measurement instruments are widely used in various industries and in homes. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for your support and continued patronage. In our current environment, we are surrounded with issues that are often overwhelming and that cause dramatic changes, such as economic stagnation, energy concerns, terrorism, low birth rates, aging populations, and other health issues. We believe that these challenges require companies to operate in such a way that they can respond to these issues without causing more harm than benefit.
