Factory and Laboratory Automation Solutions

TOYOSEIKI has been working on fully automated material testing equipment since the 1970s*.

 

Today, we offer a wide range of fully-automated measurement models for tensile testing of plastic and rubber materials, melt flow rate (MFR/MVR) measurement, deflection temperature under load (HDT/DTUL) measurement, rubber vulcanization testing, density specific gravity measurement, etc., which are used for quality control by customers in the materials, automotive, and other industries.

 

We have a wide range of fully-automated measurement models in a variety of fields, such as rubber vulcanization testing, density/specific gravity measurement, etc.

 

We hope you will take advantage of Toyo Seiki’s fully-automated material testing machines, which contribute not only to labor saving and efficiency improvement in measurement work, but also to reproducibility and safety improvement of measurement results.
