Which one

Choose by the work, not by the spec sheet.

Both machines measure to the same accuracy class. What separates them is how the test is driven — and that follows from the method you have to run.

Certification, R&D and disputed results

Closed loop on load, strain or stress, and acquisition upto 400 kHz — enough to record the failure rather than a sample of its peak.

Series 7200
Strain-rate controlled methods

Strain and stress are control modes here, not just recorded channels. The specimen sets the rate, not the crosshead.

Series 7200
Routine QC and incoming inspection

Set a crosshead speed and pull. Six procedures stored under your own names, recalled at the Console without a PC.

Series 9000
Production floor and teaching labs

Nothing to configure at the machine. An overload stops the crosshead instantly and moves it back out of load.

Series 9000
Identical on both machines

Tell us the material and the method.

We will specify the frame, the grips and the extensometer around it — or point you at the standard if you already know which one you are running.
