The need for physical property testing has increased significantly in a wide range of applications. Shimadzu’s EZ Test EZ-X Series compact tabletop have ±0.5% accuracy with a guaranteed load capacity range of 1/500 to 1/1, and offer high-speed data sampling of 1,000 data/second. The EZ-SX is suitable for evaluating food texture, pharmaceuticals and its packaging, and electrical/electronic parts. The EZ-LX is a long-stroke model for performing tensile, compression or bending tests on plastics, tapes, rubber and other samples. The EZ-LX(HS) is a high-speed, long-stroke model with a 3,000 mm/min. return speed, which significantly reduces the wait between tests to improve productivity. Shimadzu Scientific Inc.
