Chatillon's groundbreaking CS2Plus digital force testers are designed for production testing applications such as electronics, medical devices, plastics, packaging, fabrics, rubber, and textile products.
CS2Plus: The Next Generation in Digital Force Testers
Expanding on the popularity of the CS2 digital force testing machine, the Lloyd Instruments CS2Plus provides better performance and more features for a wider variety of production testing applications.
Optimized for Efficiency and Ease of Use
The CS2Plus is a high-precision digital force testing system developed to improve testing procedures in manufacturing and laboratories. It excels at material testing across a wide range of sectors, including:
- Plastics
- Rubber
- Packaging
- Pharmaceuticals
- Cosmetics
- Electronics
- Wood
Intuitive Operation and User-Friendly Design
The CS2Plus is a 2-in-1 touchscreen console with a 13" display specially built for usability and convenience in production settings. The high-resolution color touchscreen displays test results in both graphical and tabular format. The simple interface makes test preparation, data analysis, and report production easier regardless of operator expertise. Users can configure tests, start test runs, and create detailed results with only a few touches.
Versatile Testing Capabilities
The CS2Plus can fulfill a wide range of testing needs, including:
- Flexural testing
- Advanced multi-stage testing
- Tensile testing (pull)
- Compression testing (push)
- Shear testing
The system allows users to program numerous testing settings, such as:
- Cyclic and loop testing
- Multi-stage/user-defined testing
- Spring rate calculation
- Height measurement
- Limit testing (load, distance, and time)
- Break testing
Available Models and Specifications
The CS2Plus is available in two variants, catering to various force capacities:
- The CS2Plus-1 kN (225 lbf) is ideal for testing applications up to 1 kN, with a large work surface, 180 mm throat depth, and 500 mm crosshead travel
- The CS2Plus-5 kN (1124 lbf) is designed for testing applications weighing up to 5 kN and has a throat depth of 150 mm and crosshead travel of 800 mm
Both versions have outstanding speed accuracy, exceeding 1 %.
Standalone Operation
The CS2Plus does not require additional personal computers, proprietary software, or programming experience. The self-contained equipment offers a comprehensive testing solution with its easy touchscreen interface.
Enhanced Data Management and Connectivity
Strong data management features included on the CS2Plus include:
- Results and statistics can be exported in PDF and CSV formats
- Following each test, results are automatically exported via an RS232 interface
- 100 kHz data sampling rate for high-resolution data acquisition
