Galdabini Floor-Standing Universal Testing Machines – Heavy-Duty Strength Meets Precision Engineering
Discover the unmatched reliability and performance of Galdabini’s floor-standing Universal Testing Machines, purpose-built for high-capacity material testing in the most demanding industrial and research environments. Available in a wide range of force capacities—200 kN, 250 kN, 600 kN, 1000 kN, 1200 kN, and up to 2000 kN—these systems are engineered to handle structural testing of metals, advanced composites, rigid plastics, concrete, and other high-strength materials where precision and load stability are critical.
Each system is built around a rigid dual-column or four-column load frame architecture, designed to minimize deflection under extreme loads while maintaining alignment throughout the test. Combined with precision electromechanical drive systems—utilizing high-efficiency ball screws and servo-controlled motors—these machines deliver smooth, controlled crosshead motion across the full load range. This ensures accurate stress-strain measurement, even during long-duration or high-force tests where consistency is essential.
Fully compatible with ASTM, ISO, and EN testing standards, Galdabini’s floor-standing systems support a broad spectrum of test methods including tensile, compression, flexural (bend), shear, and fracture mechanics testing. Advanced control through GraphWorks 6 software enables complex test sequencing, closed-loop feedback control (load, displacement, or strain), and real-time data acquisition with high-resolution sampling. This level of control is especially important for applications requiring precise modulus calculations, yield determination, and failure analysis.
These systems are highly configurable to meet application-specific requirements. Options include high-capacity hydraulic or electromechanical grips, custom compression platens, bend fixtures, extensometers (clip-on, long-travel, or non-contact video extensometry), and environmental chambers for elevated or sub-ambient temperature testing. Safety enclosures, hydraulic power units (for grip actuation), and automated specimen handling systems can also be integrated to enhance operator safety and testing efficiency in high-throughput environments.
From civil engineering laboratories performing concrete and rebar testing, to aerospace and automotive manufacturers validating high-strength alloys and composite structures, Galdabini’s high-force UTM lineup delivers the power, control, and durability required for mission-critical testing. Designed for decades of operation and supported with modern, non-proprietary control architecture, these machines represent a long-term investment in precision mechanical testing at the highest level.
