Ametek has now developed a new materials testing software package to coincide with the launch of its new Lloyd Instruments and Chatillon LFPlus universal testing machine.

Nexygen FM is a simple, cost-effective, easy to use software program for routine force measurement applications.

Based on the company's powerful Nexygen MT software, it incorporates familiar navigational tools, user-friendly graphs and tables, and an instant 'pass/fail' notification capability for fast results analysis.

Plus, a seamless integration with Microsoft platforms and programs ensures total flexibility.

Nexygen FM is designed to speed up the process of materials testing by presenting information in a logical manner.

It features drop-down menus, cut and paste operations and intelligent prompts to make the set-up easy.

For quick analysis, results are colour coded, tables and graphs are displayed together, and trends lines for different results are easy to compare.

Microsoft platform compatibility allows users to define templates and reports in Word or Excel, for example.

Plus, users can network instruments together using a remote access capability for total control.

This new software benefits quality control, development and production line applications in a wide range of manufacturing industries, education and research establishments.

Tests vital to such routine applications, such as pull to break, pull to limit, pull and compress with yields, compress to rupture, compress to limit, cyclic tests and hand held gauge only tests are all as standard.

Nexygen FM interfaces directly to the latest Chatillon and Lloyd Instruments testing machines, like the cost-effective new LFPlus.

As well as featuring standard mathematical functions, the software is easy to upgrade to the company's Nexygen MT software for powerful SPC evaluation and other more sophisticated analysis capabilities.
