Bendograph™ | Automated 3-points Flexure Testing Machine for plastics | No.509Automated flexural testing machine

The Bendograph is designed exclusively for the automated flexural testing of plastic specimens.
Other than the setting up of specimens, all operations including testing and data processing are performed automatically.
The Bendograph’s compact design is good for laboratories that have limited space and would otherwise be unable to fit a similar testing machine.
