Universal Testing Machines
Low-Cost, Compact Capability The ATS Model 1101 Universal
Testing Machine is an econom-
ical benchtop system which
performs tension, compres-
sion, shear, and flexure testing
with twin-screw accuracy in
capacities up to 1,000 lbs.
Testing is performed below the
moving crosshead, maximiz-
ing operator convenience and
ease of use. Additionally, the
compact design of this system
is ideal for facilities with space
limitations.
The 14 in. (356mm) nominal
clearance between columns
and 42 in. (1066mm) standard
crosshead travel provide an
extra-large testing area to
easily accomodate various
sizes of chambers, fixtures, and
samples.
As with all models of ATS equip-
ment, a wide variety of acces-
sories is available to provide
added capability and flexibility,
including data acquisition and
recording systems, furnaces,
heating and cooling chambers,
fixtures, grips, and more.

http://www.atspa.com The ATS Model 1105 Universal
Testing Machine is a basic sys-
tem designed for efficient and
straightforward operation, per-
forming tension, compression,
shear, and flexure tests in capaci-
ties up to 5,000 lbs.
Metals, plastics, elastomers, com-
posites, and many other materi-
als can be tested. The simplicity,
economy, and compact design of
this system make it ideal for small
laborotories and universities
with limited space and limited
budgets.
A full 42 in. (1066mm) of stan-
dard crosshead travel and 20 in.
(508mm) of nominal horizontal
clearance provide a versatile
testing area for accommodation
of various sizes of chambers, fix-
tures, and samples. Twin-screw
guided crossheads provide ac-
curate test results. Controls are
housed in a separate, remote
console for maximum versatility.
Basic capabilities are easily ex-
panded with the addition of
available options and accesso-
ries, including data acquisition
and recording systems, furnaces,
heating and cooling chambers,
fixtures, grips, and more.

http://www.atspa.com The Model 1105C Universal Test-
ing Mahine has been designed
for those with tight budgets and
minimum lab space who must
meet tension and compression
testing requirements in up to
5,000 lb. capacities.
This compact, bench-top test
frame with attached space-sav-
ing control console fits easily
into snug spaces. The simple,
accurate controls common to
all Series 1100 systems are user-
friendly in a wide range of testing
applications, from quality control
to high-end research.
A full 42 in. (1066mm) of stan-
dard crosshead travel with 20 in.
(508mm) of nominal horizontal
width provide a large testing area
for easy accomodation of various
sizes of temperature-controlled
environmental chambers, fix-
tures, and samples.
If testing requirements are up-
graded in the future, basic ca-
pabilities are easily expanded
with the addition of such ATS
accessories as data acquisition
and recording systems, furnaces,
heating and cooling chambers,
fixtures, grips, and more.

http://www.atspa.com Models 1110 and 1120 Univer-
sal Testing Machines are rug-
ged floor-standing systems with
controls mounted in a separate,
remote cabinet.
Tension, compression, shear,
and flexure tests on a variety
of materials can be performed
in capacities up to 10,000 and
20,000 lbs., respectively.
Testing is performed below the
moving crosshead for maxi-
mum operator convenience.
The ATS two-column design
provides stability, making these
machines ideal for high-capac-
ity materials testing of various
types of specimens.
A versatile testing area, with
24 in. (610mm) of nominal
horizontal clearance and a full
42 in. (1066mm) of standard
crosshead travel, easily ac-
commodates a wide variety
of environmental chambers,
fixtures, and samples.
As always, a wide variety of
accessories is available to
provide added capability and
flexibility. These include data
acquisition and recording sys-
tems, furnaces, heating and
cooling chambers, fixtures,
grips, and more.

http://www.atspa.com Models 1110C and 1120C Uni-
versal Testing Machines are
precise floor-standing machines
designed with a space-saving
control console integrated into
the frame. This reliable tester is
often used in research, quality
control, and production labs.
Tension and compression test-
ing can be performed to meet
a full range of requirements.
A variety of materials can be
tested, including metals, plas-
tics, ceramics, composites, and
elastomers in capacities up to
10,000 and 20,000 lbs., respec-
tively.
The 24 in. (610mm) nominal
clearance between columns and
42 in. (1066mm) standard cross-
head travel provide ample space
to easily accommodate various
environmental chambers, fix-
tures, and samples.
ATS offers a complete line of
accessories and optional com-
ponents for these machines,
including data acquisition and
recording systems, furnaces,
heating and cooling chambers,
fixtures, grips, and more.

Large digital readout display: The precise load being applied to the specimen is clearly visible
throughout the test. As an added safety feature, an
electronic overload protection system
automatically stops crosshead travel when 105% of the load range has been reached.
Choice of measuring units: Choose from pounds, Newtons, or kilograms at the flip of a switch.
