Product Gallery: Applied Test Systems Launches SIGMA Series 2610

The SIGMA Series 2610 is now available from Applied Test Systems.

Applied Test Systems, Butler, Pennsylvania, has introduced a new system for Creep and Stress Rupture testing—its SIGMA Testing System.

The company’s website states, “SIGMA is a revolutionary step for WinCCS plus first and second-generation controllers, which have been in use at major testing facilities world over for thirty plus years. The SIGMA system retains WinCCS as the control software, while introducing the new third-generation SIGMA controller, along with new SIGMA testing machines. The SIGMA system is backwards compatible with previous controllers and data to protect your company’s investment in existing WinCCS systems.”

The SIGMA Testing System is an automated system the lab tech uses to perform creep, stress rupture, constant strain and stress relaxation testing. It’s comprised of three parts:

• the WinCCS SIGMA control software;
• the SIGMA test controller; and
• various test machines (based on end user requirements).

ATS offers the SIGMA Series 2320 & Series 2610 machines. The SIGMA Controller is microprocessor-based and controls SIGMA Test Machines’ specimen temperature, stress/strain, and the measurement and collection of data. Once the test has been started by the WinCCS SIGMA control software, the SIGMA Controllers are completely self-sufficient and can run the test to completion without further intervention by the host PC, according to the manufacturer. To compliment the SIGMA Controller, an improved SIGMA user terminal has been introduced that has many new features, which include OLED high visibility display and machine jog up/down buttons for easy setup.
