Limit and Break Testing
Setup a test based on a load, displacement, height, or time limit in both tensile and compression directions. Similarly, a break or rupture can be defined as a sharp break or percentage drop from the peak load measured.

As an added feature, a quick test button (compression or tension) allows the user to define and execute a test with only a few clicks, reducing setup time for trial and error testing.

Multi-Stage & Cycle Testing
The multi-stage setup allows users to configure virtually any type of test setup imaginable. Each part of a test is defined as a “stage”. Each stage can be set up with its own independent load or displacement characteristic and speed. The touch screen interface with stage specific icons provides an excellent overview and makes it easy to add, edit or delete a stage.

Multi-stage testing can be used for cycle, hold, insertion/extraction, snap-on/off, switch toggle, or other sophisticated test methods. Users have total freedom to create the test movement required, using their sample without the need for expensive 3rd-party software applications or validation requirements.

Height Mode
The CS2Plus includes a height mode of operation that allows the user to perform pre-conditioning and then measure height at specific loads. The system has an automatic datum routine that defines the reference point for height measurements. An Absolute Distance Feature allows driving to a specific distance in reference to zero.

Peel Testing
Determine the maximum and average peeling force of various materials between two points that you define in the test program setup.
