Significantly Improved Control Performanceand Ease-of-OperationSemi-Auto-Tuning Function Enables High Precision Stress Controland Strain Control(compliant with ISO 6892-2009 and JIS Z2241 metallic materials tensile testing standards)Control parameters are auto-tuned in real time, based on test forceand strain values measured during testing. This eliminates the needfor preliminary testing and makes it easy to perform highly precisestress-controlled or strain-controlled testing. The semi-auto-tuningfunction also allows performing ISO 6892-2009 (precisionstrain-controlled testing)* and JIS Z2241 compliant metallic materialstensile testing.Test forceUH-XUH-FXSwitching pointBreak* Requires TRAPEZIUM X.TimeInitial stroke controlExtra-Large Color LCD Touch-Screen SignificantlyImproves Ease-of-Operation and VisibilityThe large 10.4-inch color touch-screen significantly improves visibility and ease-of-operation.This color graphical user interface enables performing a wide variety of functions with a simpletouch of the screen. This makes it easy to operate the testing machine, even for first-timeusers. It also displays S-S curves in real time during testing.4Constant-speedstrain controlConstant-speedstroke controlUH-XUH-FX

Rangeless DataMeasurementUH-XUH-FXTest force and strain can be measured without having to specify anamplifier range. This means data can be acquired using optimalmeasurement parameters, even for specimens with unknownstrength. In addition, since the analog indicator and output to thedata recorder have a virtual range, evaluation is possible in the samemanner as before.Key SwitchIncluded StandardUH-XUH-FXUH-XUH-FXUH-XUH-FXA key switch is provided standard to ensuresecurity is properly controlled.USB Memory Enables Performing Tests WithoutConnecting to a Computer*By inserting a USB memory stick into the measurement controller with test parameters storedin the USB memory, tests can be performed without a computer. Furthermore, measurementdata is automatically saved in the USB memory after tests, which enables analyzing the datawith TRAPEZIUM X or using it to create reports.* Requires TRAPEZIUM X.Crosshead Elevating Switch Box (optional) ProvidesFinger-Tip ControlUsing the crosshead elevating switch box allows positioning the crosshead without looking away from the testing space.Environmentally Friendly Design Saves Energy andHydraulic OilHybrid Hydraulic Unit Reduces Power Consumption by 82 %(with model UH-500kNXh)UH-XA hybrid hydraulic unit combines an AC servo motor with a hydraulicpump so that the pump only operates when necessary. This providesan energy-efficient testing machine and reduces its environmentalimpact.Quieter Hydraulic UnitUH-FXThe sound level of the hydraulic unit for the grips was reduced byover 10 dB, from 75 dB to 65 dB, compared to the previous model.UH-FXThis product conforms with Shimadzu's ECO labeledproduct.Energy Saving: Power consumption reduced by 82%as compared to a conventional Shimadzu product.(with Shimadzu standard operating conditions)Requires up to 50 %Less Hydraulic OilUH-XUH-FXFor model UH-F500kNXh, the amount of hydraulic oil required hasbeen cut in half, from 80 to 40 liters.UH-X/FX SeriesHydraulic Universal Testing Machines5

Ensures Reliability and SafetyUltra-High-Speed Sampling Function Ensures No SuddenVariations in Strength Are MissedBy connecting to a computer installed with TRAPEZIUM X data processing software, data canbe acquired at ultra-high sampling rates of up to 1 msec (1 kHz). This enables capturing anysudden changes in test force, such as at the break point of brittle materials, with highprecision. Sampling parameters can be changed during tests, so that critical areas can beanalyzed in more detail.UH-XUH-FXSamplinginterval1 msec50 msecUltra-high-speed samplingMax.
