800°C heating
Test metallic materials across a range of temperatures in minutes, with instant results.
Test samples >3mm
Test directly on real components and samples, bypassing the need for costly tensile testing specimens.
Results in 30 minutes
Optimise testing workflows with a straightforward, automated testing process and user-friendly interface, all from a compact and portable device.
Big data from small things
The PLX-HotStage’s ability to test small samples unlocks entirely new insights from traditionally difficult-to-test specimens whilst minimising material waste.
Minimum sample size 3 mm thick and 10 mm lateral
Maximum sample size 9 mm thick and 25 mm lateral
Effortless Integration
The PLX-HotStage seamlessly integrates with your existing PLX-Benchtop in minutes, giving you ultimate workflow flexibility.
