Reduce associated costs of calibrating multiple replacement devices and trust your annual AVE 2 calibration test after test.
single device offering a far superior range of Gauge Length & Travel compared to contacting extensometry. Reduced lab storage space and maintenance.
A single non-contacting device suitable for both Static & Fatigue Testing requirements.
Intuitive Usability
Improved consistency with a single testing procedure, easier, quicker and less skill required in preparing specimen for strain measurement.
Remove human error in the process related to the attaching and reliable set up of a contacting device with automation of an AVE 2. Reduce set-up time and costs.
AVE 2 eliminates the need to worry about different methods for maintaining gauge contact.
Impressive Performance
Can't get the strain data needed for a clip on extensometer? The AVE 2 offers more confidence in your results.
Non-contacting extensometry removes the possibility of premature specimen failure caused by clip on devices, which can be detrimental to a business's reputation.
Maintain accurate strain control even on tricky specimens for long term tests.
Understanding the Effect of Knife Edges on the Specimen Life of Compliant Materials
Extensometer resonance could prevent you from testing at certain frequency ranges, introducing unwanted movement on the specimen, bringing your results in to question.
Extensometer knife edges can cause damage to your compliant material, shortening specimen life and influencing failure mode and location.
Mounting clip on extensometers to compliant specimens can be tricky and time consuming, with machine operators often wasting valuable time getting it right.
Traditional clip on extensometers may have limited travel, which reduces the flexibility of your cyclic testing when recording strain data from compliant specimens.
