CS2Plus Series Force Testing Machine
CS2Plus: The Next Generation in Digital Force Testers
The Lloyd Instruments CS2Plus builds upon the success of the popular CS2 digital force testing machine, offering enhanced capabilities and improved performance for a wider range of production testing applications.

Optimized for Efficiency and Ease of Use:
The CS2Plus is a high-precision, digital force testing machine designed to streamline testing workflows in production and laboratory environments. Suitable for testing applications up to 5 kN (1100 lbf), it excels in material testing across various industries, including:
Plastics
Rubber
Packaging
Pharmaceuticals
Cosmetics
Electronics
Wood

Intuitive Operation and User-Friendly Design:
The CS2Plus features a 2-in-1 touch screen console with a 13” display, specifically designed for user-friendliness and ease of use in production environments. The high-resolution, color touchscreen provides both graphical and tabular representations of test results. The intuitive interface simplifies test setup, data analysis, and report generation, regardless of operator experience level. With just a few touches, users can configure tests, initiate test runs, and generate comprehensive reports.

Versatile Testing Capabilities:
The CS2Plus accommodates a wide range of testing requirements, including:
Tensile testing (pull)
Compression testing (push)
Shear testing
Flexural testing
Advanced multi-stage testing

The system allows for programming of various testing parameters, including:
Limit testing (load, distance, and time)
Break testing
Cyclic and loop testing
Multi-stage/user-defined testing
Spring rate calculation
Height measurement

Available Models and Specifications:
The CS2Plus comes in two models, catering to different force capacities:
CS2Plus-1kN (225 lbf): Ideal for testing applications up to 1 kN, featuring a spacious work area with an 180 mm throat depth and 500 mm crosshead travel.
CS2Plus-5kN (1124 lbf): Designed for testing applications up to 5 kN, featuring a 150 mm throat depth and 800 mm crosshead travel.
Both models boast exceptional speed accuracy exceeding 1%.

Standalone Operation:
The CS2Plus eliminates the need for a separate personal computer, proprietary software, or programming knowledge. The intuitive touch screen interface provides a complete testing solution within a single, self-contained unit.

Enhanced Data Management and Connectivity:

The CS2Plus offers robust data management features, including:
Export of results and statistics in CSV and PDF formats
Automatic export of results via RS232 interface after each test
100 kHz data sampling rate for high-resolution data acquisition
