All Lloyd Instruments loadcells are high accuracy, self-identifying full bridge strain gauged load cells, designed to meet international standards for load cell accuracy.  Load cells are available in a range of capacities from 5 N to 300 kN depending on the machine used and test to be performed.

NEXYGENPlus multi-lingual materials testing software is the hub of the Lloyd Instruments Plus Series materials testing system . This extraordinarily easy to use and flexible software, allows the operator to control and monitor all aspects of the system from a single front end, ensuring fast, reliable and powerful testing and data analysis for tensile, compression, peeling, tearing, creep, relaxation and  flexural test applications.

With NEXYGENPlus software, the user can simply select from the extensive library of pre-defined test set-ups based on international standards to set up routine tests or create an advanced multi-stage test, all using the same program. Still picture and video capture are also included in the software as well as a powerful security and audit trail module to provide 100% traceability, full automation capability for automatic testing and much more.
