84-03 Universal Tester 20kN - AT
INTRODUCTION
The 20kN is a two-column, Universal tester that
can be programmed with up to 100 different
test methods. These tests range from the most
basic to the most sophisticated machine control,
all with full graphics and statistical display. They
are ideal solutions to testing problems where
there is a need for precise, efficient and consistent
performance.
