Lloyd Instruments has produced an 18-page full colour materials testing Solutions brochure, which covers the complete range of the company's single and twin column universal materials testing machines, it's software and application solutions, as well as the Davenport range of plastics and polymer testing instruments. The brochure also contains a demonstration CD for the highly acclaimed new NEXYGENPlus multilingual materials testing software for the range of 'Plus' universal materials testing machines. In addition to detailed technical specifications for test machines ranging from 1kN-300kN (225lbf-67443lbf) the brochure contains details of the company's systems and accessories, which can be used throughout a host of industries as well as in research and higher level teaching.

These range from a comprehensive series of jigs and fixtures to tailored systems designed for low and high temperature work, to high elongation sample testing and extra large sample testing using a 'pogo' arrangement.

A complete section of the brochure is devoted to NEXYGENPlus software.

Details are provided on the extensive capabilities of NEXYGENPlus, including test creation, data collection, reporting and exporting test data, video and still picture capture, test data security and audit trails, and test automation and customisation.

Another section of the brochure focuses on the myriad of applications that are possible with this range of instruments (or even on the same instrument using appropriate grips), including industry-standard tests and custom generated tests.

Examples are given in the fields of plastics, products and components, packaging, rubber, metals, textiles, paper and board, foam and food.
