• Electric furnace

Customized strengths available to match the requested tests/research and development, ranging from basic manual and semi-automatic types to those equipped with [automatic sample transport/automatic burr removal mechanism/constant temperature chamber], etc.

This is a shock testing machine for metallic materials, designed to achieve a stable structure with sufficient rigidity, ensuring reliable and reproducible test results. The "semi-automatic" feature, which automatically lifts and releases the hammer, reduces the labor and time required for operation, contributing to safety as well. By combining it with the data processing device we provide, it can automatically import and save data (such as angle and absorbed energy) to a PC, further supporting compliance systems. It is used not only for testing but also for research. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. ▼ Instrumentation Software [CHARPAC]* Optional ▼ The Charpy impact testing machine comes with instrumentation software that allows users to view results in graphs and numerical values instead of just visually. The software is developed in-house and can be customized to meet customer needs for ease of use.

Tests can be conducted while observing the condition of the material surface [using a dual-swing crosshead], keeping the sample position centered to capture any changes!

The "CATY-T3H SYSTEM" is a tabletop-sized high-temperature tensile observation device that allows for thermal fatigue testing while observing the state of the sample surface in real-time. It can be used with simple operations and supports high-temperature and high-speed heating. By adopting a dual-swing crosshead, it maintains the sample's position in the center even if the sample piece expands or contracts, thereby minimizing the displacement of the observation position. By combining with optional units, it can also accommodate tests such as bending observation. 【Features】 ■ Capable of high-temperature and high-speed heating up to 1500°C * However, this depends on the shape and thermal capacity of the sample. ■ Testing of not only metallic materials but also composite materials of surface-mounted components is possible. ■ Stress measurement, low-cycle fatigue testing, and creep testing can be conducted in gas flow or vacuum conditions. ■ Realization of combined testing for thermal fatigue under stress and real-time observation. * For more details, please refer to the documentation. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

"Heating and Cooling Observation Device MHO-300-2" Just place it on your microscope! Compact and slim / Atmosphere control available.

Simply place it on the stage of your microscope or micro-scope to observe changes from -100°C to 300°C in real-time. In a hermetically sealed furnace, heating and cooling can be performed under various vacuum inert gas atmospheres. 【Points】 ▮ Flexible temperature control performance With the dedicated software "TeCSS," temperature programming and monitoring can be easily done (it can also be operated independently with the temperature controller). Additionally, it displays temperature, time, and scale, and allows for in-situ image capture and storage synchronized with actual temperature records using the dedicated video recording software "HiTOS." By adding a cooling mechanism, it can also accommodate -100°C. ▮ Compact and user-friendly design This heating and cooling stage is designed to be small and thin, making it easy to reproduce special conditions. In addition to observation applications under microscopes or micro-scopes, it can also be repurposed for analytical instruments such as laser microscopes, Raman spectroscopy, and micro-spectroscopy. ▮ Atmosphere control with vacuum chamber structure Due to its vacuum chamber structure, heating and cooling can be performed under vacuum inert gas atmospheres. It also allows for the exhaust of vapors such as degassed materials vaporized by heating, and a XY slideable specimen holder makes it easy to introduce and remove prepared samples.
