Versatile Tensile Module High Precision Temperature Controlled Stage For In Situ Material Testing

Product Introduction

The GoGo UCH600 is a highly versatile Temperature-Environment Extension Module designed to upgrade your existing universal testing machine into a powerful in-situ characterization platform. This compact module adds precise, wide-range temperature control from -190°C to 600°C to standard mechanical tests, enabling the in-situ characterization of stress-strain responses and dynamic mechanical behavior of materials across extreme thermal conditions. As a dedicated Tensile Stage accessory, it allows researchers to seamlessly integrate controlled heating and cooling into their workflow, transforming standard load frames for advanced research on polymers, metals, composites, and biomaterials. Governed by the sophisticated TNEX software, the UCH600 delivers laboratory-grade thermal stability (±0.1°C) for reliable, repeatable thermo-mechanical data.

Key Advantages & Why Choose Our Module

• Unlock Extreme Temperature Testing: Instantly expand the capability of your lab's universal tester. This Tensile Stage module provides access to a broad thermal range—from cryogenic to high-temperature regimes—for comprehensive material evaluation without investing in a dedicated, full-system environmental chamber.

• Plug-and-Play Compatibility & Compact Design: Engineered for seamless integration, the module features a compact footprint and standardized mounting options. It is designed to be easily installed onto most commercial universal testing machines, minimizing setup time and maximizing equipment utility.

• Precision Thermal Control for Accurate Data: Achieves rapid heating (100°C/min) and controlled liquid nitrogen cooling (40°C/min) while maintaining exceptional stability of ±0.1°C. This ensures that observed changes in mechanical properties are due to material behavior, not temperature fluctuations.

• Complete In-Situ Observation & Control: The integrated top viewing window allows for real-time optical monitoring of the sample during deformation. Full integration with the TNEX software centralizes control, enabling synchronized temperature profiles and data acquisition for automated testing sequences.

• Certified Quality & Cost-Effective Enhancement: Manufactured under ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certified processes, this module is a reliable and cost-effective solution to significantly enhance the research output and capability of your existing testing infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How does this module connect to my universal testing machine?

   The UCH600 is a self-contained chamber module designed to be mounted within the working area of your tester. It includes an adapter plate system and clear instructions for mechanical integration, while its controllers operate independently of the tester's electronics.

2. Can I perform other tests besides tension with this Tensile Stage module?

   While optimized for tensile configurations, the modular chamber design and sample holder can also accommodate fixtures for compression or shear testing within the thermal environment, depending on your testing machine's capabilities.

3. What software is used, and how is it synchronized with my tester's data?

   The module is controlled by GoGo's TNEX software for all thermal operations. Users typically run the TNEX software for temperature control while simultaneously running their tester's native software for mechanical data acquisition, correlating the data sets post-test via timestamps.

4. Is special training required to install and use this system?

   Installation is straightforward for technicians familiar with your universal tester. We provide detailed mounting guides and video tutorials. The TNEX software is intuitive, and our technical support team is available to assist with initial setup and operation.

5. What is included in the basic package?

   The system is supplied as a complete thermal control kit. This includes the main chamber module, a dedicated temperature controller, a cooling controller, a liquid nitrogen tank, a recirculating chiller, TNEX software, and all necessary accessories for integration and operation.
