The Universal Testing Machine (UTM) is a versatile force testing system used to evaluate the tensile, compression, flexural, shear, peel, and puncture properties of materials and products. Designed for laboratories, QC departments, and research institutions, a UTM provides precise force, displacement, and stress–strain data across a wide range of industries including plastics, rubber, metal, packaging, textiles, paper, and electronics. Equipped with high-accuracy load cells, advanced software, and interchangeable grips, it delivers consistent and reliable mechanical testing performance.
