Universal testing machine Criterion (MTS)

Universal testing machine Criterion (MTS)

MTS Criterion Model 43

The MTS Criterion Model 43 is an electromechanical universal testing machine designed for a wide range of materials testing. It is particularly suitable for tensile, compression and flexure tests on metals, plastics, composites and other materials. Thanks to its high accuracy and reliability, it is frequently used in industrial quality control and in research and development.

Combining a highly rigid test frame, digital control and powerful software, the MTS Criterion Model 43 offers a user-friendly solution for static testing. Its versatility allows it to be adapted to different test standards and industrial requirements.
