The Kaxite Test Machine is a modular system, allowing you to configure the perfect setup for your specific needs. The core system includes the load frame, load cell, servo drive system, and control console. From there, a vast ecosystem of grips, fixtures, environmental systems, and specialized measurement devices can be integrated.
| Accessory | Operating Range | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Thermal Chamber (-70°C to +350°C) | -70°C to +350°C | LN2 or mechanical cooling. Internal load string for accurate in-chamber force measurement. |
| Furnace (up to +1200°C) | Ambient to +1200°C | Molybdenum disilicide heating elements for high-temperature tensile/creep testing. |
| Immersion Bath | Ambient to +95°C | For testing materials in liquids (e.g., biomedical implants in saline). |

Q: What is the lead time for a standard Kaxite Test Machine configuration?
A: Lead times vary based on model complexity and customization. For a standard 100 kN dual-column system with basic grips and software, typical lead time is 8-10 weeks from order confirmation to ex-works delivery. Custom configurations involving environmental chambers or specialized controllers may extend this to 12-16 weeks. Our sales team provides detailed project timelines upon quotation.
Q: How often does the test machine require calibration, and what is the process?
A: We recommend annual calibration to maintain traceability to national standards (NIST, NPL, etc.) and ensure ongoing accuracy. The calibration interval can be adjusted based on usage frequency, internal quality protocols, or accreditation requirements (e.g., ISO/IEC 17025). Kaxite offers on-site calibration services performed by certified engineers, or you can use an accredited third-party lab. The process involves calibrating the force transducer (load cell), position encoder, and control system using certified dead weights or proving rings and laser interferometry for displacement.
Q: Can the machine's software create custom test methods beyond the pre-loaded standards?
A: Absolutely. While Kaxite TestSuite Pro includes hundreds of pre-configured test methods for global standards, its powerful scripting and macro editor allow users to design fully custom test sequences. You can define complex multi-stage profiles controlling speed, force, hold times, and conditional jumps. This is essential for simulating real-world service conditions, performing research on novel materials, or developing proprietary company test standards.
Q: What training and support does Kaxite provide after installation?
A: Every Kaxite system purchase includes comprehensive support. This starts with on-site installation and commissioning by a Kaxite field engineer, who will also conduct a detailed operational training session for your technicians. We provide extensive user manuals, software guides, and video tutorials. Support continues via phone, email, and remote desktop assistance for the warranty period and beyond through our optional service contracts. We also offer advanced application training seminars at our technology centers.
Q: Is the system compatible with other brands of accessories, like extensometers or environmental chambers?
A: The Kaxite control system features universal analog and digital inputs, making it compatible with most third-party measurement devices that provide standard voltage or current outputs (e.g., 0-10V). However, for optimal performance, accuracy, and seamless software integration, we strongly recommend using genuine Kaxite-certified accessories. These are designed, calibrated, and supported as an integrated system, guaranteeing the performance specifications of the complete setup.
Q: What safety features are incorporated into the machine's design?
A: Operator safety is paramount. The Kaxite Test Machine includes multiple hardware and software safety interlocks: emergency stop buttons on the console and frame; software limits for force, position, and strain to prevent overload; a protective safety enclosure with an interlocked door (optional but recommended); and a fail-safe brake system on the crosshead drive. Our software also includes user management with password protection to prevent unauthorized changes to test methods or safety settings.
Q: How does the machine handle data integrity and security for regulated industries?
A: Kaxite TestSuite Pro is designed with data integrity in mind, which is critical for pharmaceutical, medical device, and aerospace applications. Key features include: audit trail functionality that logs all user actions, calibration events, and test method changes; electronic signatures compliant with 21 CFR Part 11 (configurable); raw data file protection that prevents alteration; and secure, role-based user access levels (Administrator, Supervisor, Operator). Data is stored in open, non-proprietary formats for long-term archiving.
