Non-Contact Video Extensometer – Quantum Series

Torontech's latest video extensometer incorporates advanced Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technology, offering a non-contact method for measuring elongation, extension, deformation, and deflection (strain).

1. What You See, You Can Measure: As long as the test specimen remains visible, the video extensometer can effectively capture data throughout the testing process.
2. Reanalyzable Test Data: Test data is saved as images, allowing post-test reanalysis. Users can adjust the extensometer gauge length or location without needing to repeat tests.
3. Simultaneous Axial and Lateral Measurements: This extensometer measures both axial and lateral strains simultaneously without requiring multiple sensors, unlike conventional contact-based systems.
4. Simplified Operation: Its contactless design eliminates the need for complex attachment and removal procedures. This reduces wear and tear, extends lifespan, and enhances safety—especially in destructive or extreme-temperature tests that may pose health risks.
5. No Slippage or Alignment Errors: Since there’s no need to attach or remove components during testing, common issues like slippage or misalignment associated with traditional contact-based extensometers are avoided. The system minimizes user error, ensuring accurate measurements.
6. Comprehensive Data Tracking: The extensometer tracks tests from start to finish, enabling precise software-based calculations of elongation at break.
7. Advanced Connectivity Options:
   • Analog Output: Real-time measurements can be exported to third-party devices.
   • Digital Output: Data can be shared via serial port or TCP/IP.
   • Analog and Digital Input: Signals from external devices can be imported for integrated analysis.

Torontech's video extensometer is a robust, efficient, and versatile tool for advanced material testing in diverse environments.
