Spring Testing System

Compression and extension testing, engineered as one evidence chain.

STM-X combines controlled motion, measurement software and reporting so the test remains understandable from setup to sign-off.

System capabilities

Built around the work a spring laboratory repeats every day

STM-X is configured around the required force, travel, fixtures and result method. Final machine specifications are selected against your spring range.

C

Compression

Preload, datum confirmation, controlled travel, repetitions, loading/return acquisition and automatic result evaluation.

E

Extension

Controlled pull testing with configurable hooks or fixtures, force/extension measurement, rate and initial-tension analysis.

M

Manual MPG

Commissioning and controlled manual positioning without confusing the absolute machine coordinate with automatic test displacement.

R

Repeatable recipes

Approved motion and evaluation settings remain explicit, verified and linked to the completed trace.

Test workflow

Six deliberate stages. No hidden shortcuts.

  1. 01

    Identify

    Enter test, batch and operator context.

  2. 02

    Verify recipe

    Confirm mode, motion and evaluation settings.

  3. 03

    Establish datum

    Apply preload and accept the eligible reference.

  4. 04

    Acquire

    Record ordered force-position snapshots.

  5. 05

    Characterize

    Evaluate the approved branches and repetitions.

  6. 06

    Report

    Save batch evidence and a reproducible report.

Fixtures and configuration

The right machine starts with your spring.

Spring dimensions, force range, travel, ends, expected rate and applicable specification determine the useful configuration. Share representative drawings or samples and Multitek will recommend the load cell, travel envelope and fixtures.
