(1888PressRelease) September 26, 2014 - Imetrum is pleased to announce the launch of its new non-contact video system that has been developed specifically for the high volume testing of composites on Stand F111 at Composites Engineering, NEC on 11 & 12th November 2014.

The new UVX - Universal Video eXtensometer incorporates many of the features of Imetrum's UVX-Flexi system incorporating the renowned Video Gauge™ software but has been simplified for routine, high volume materials testing. The UVX is an ideal choice for production facilities and for test houses that provide third party client services on a wide variety of material types, sizes and specifications. Demonstrations will be held on the Stand throughout the show and specialists will be on hand to answer any questions regarding this innovative new system.

As well as the new product, Imetrum will be demonstrating the UVX-Flexi system, widely believed to be the only video extensometer capable of achieving the exacting requirements of ISO527-1: 2012, ASTM D638 equivalent.

Imetrum's UVX systems have been specifically designed for use with tensile testing machines and comprise a controller with sophisticated Video Gauge™ software, one or more high-resolution digital video cameras and an appropriate lens for the application.

Also included are a voltage output module for interfacing with traditional strain channels, lighting, a tripod (for use with UVX-Flexi only) and a rugged case for storage and transportation. The system is straightforward and intuitive to use and has many distinct advantages over traditional contact methods, such as clip-on extensometers and strain gauges.
