SHIMADZU UNIVERSAL TESTING INSTRUMENTS Series
 "The quality of authentic products"
- becomes evident the more.
Shimadzu Autograph brings total ease of use with a comprehensive system that includes the testing
machine, jigs and software, based on the testing styles of our diverse users around the world.
These days testing styles have been rapidly changing and becoming more diversified, with an increas-
ing number of measurements and handling of various sizes of specimens required. The Autograph
AG-IS has been totally redesigned as a new system which satisfies all user requirements such as: "We
want to operate the testing machine at a 0.1mm pitch", "We want to efficiently carry out continuous test-
ing", "We want to use the machine with the utmost safety", and "We want enhanced efficiency by com-
bining the testing machine with a personal computer."
We promise that the new Autograph AG-IS is capable of satisfying all user needs. Please realize the
supreme quality of the highly renowned Shimadzu Universal Testing Instruments, which have
been the bestseller in the Japanese market since they were first launched in 1958.

High-speed data sampling to achieve true values

The ultrahigh-speed sampling at 1.25msec intervals (for 25
seconds) allows highly accurate measurement of the test
force in the elastic and break regions to detect any changes
in the materials during the test. This function is particularly Test force
effective for ceramics and highly rigid new materials.
The speed of the ultrahigh-speed sampling can be selected
from 1.25msec to 5msec.
With normal sampling at 10msec, it is possible to set the
sampling intervals by test force and displacement, which are
effective for the relaxation and creep tests respectively.
The time is set in 50msec intervals for 50msec, 100msec,

 Extensions to the main unit
Wide-type series Large capacity series
Models with wider effective test width (975, 1100, and 1375mm) Models with the maximum capacity of 1000kN, 600kN, 500kN and
than the standard type (575mm) are also available for testing large- 300kN are also available for large-capacity testing conducted in
size actual object specimens. (Floor type only) heavy industry fields such as steel, construction and shipbuilding.
These are customized upon request.
Reinforced yoke series
Use this series when conducting tests between the crosshead and Extended column models
yoke. Models with extended columns (clearance between the yoke and
table extended by 250mm, 500mm, and 750mm) are also available.
Ultralow-speed crosshead model These are useful for testing with long tensile strokes.
The crosshead speed can be widened to an extremely low speed.
Ultralow-speed model
Speed range 0.00005 to 1000
(mm/min) (up to 500 with 250kN model)
