NEW NEXYGENPLUS MATERIALS TESTING INTERFACE
28 March 2007 - Lloyd Instruments

AMETEK S.A.S. will be showing a Lloyd Instruments’ LRXPlus 5 kN single column universal materials testing machine, with the first chance to see the revolutionary new multi-lingual software interface, NEXYGENPlus. NEXYGENPlus acts as the hub of the materials testing system, linking all components together to allow the operator to control and monitor all aspects of the system from a single interface. It has been designed for use with Lloyd Instruments’ entire range of ‘Plus’ and EZ materials testing machines.

In addition to its extremely simple set-up and usage, NEXYGENPlushas enormous underlying power. This is characterized by its extraordinary versatility, for setting up user-specific tests, creating a unique user interface and acquiring, displaying, reporting and exporting results. This ensures fast, reliable and powerful testing and data analysis for tensile, compression, peeling, tearing, creep, relaxation and flexural applications.

Procedures can be automated through macro routines and an additional communications port allows the system to be linked with or triggered by external equipment and systems allowing tests to be integrated into production line control systems.

In addition, the software includes a video capture and photograph capture system. Traceability and high data integrity are provided by integral security and audit trails, which allow systems to be configured to help manufacturers meet FDA 21 CFR Part 11 regulations.

The video capture capability allows a camera to be linked into the system so that a close-up of the test can be displayed on the screen together with the test graph, as the test is carried out. The photograph capture facility allows individual images of the sample and test jig to be captured during the test and used in post-test analysis. This also lets the operator check that the sample is mounted properly and the image can also be accompanied by some useful text information to guide the operator.

The comprehensive data handling and reporting capabilities of NEXYGENPlus allow results to be exported directly into other packages such as Microsoft Excel, or Statistical Process Control packages in a variety of formats. Data export can be set up to happen completely automatically, there is no need to view the results first. A variety of reporting formats can be set up for different people who may need to view the results. This lets information from a particular test or batch of tests to be reported in the most appropriate way for individuals or groups.
