SOURCING - MECHANICAL RIGS & FRAMES
Global Sourcing of Laboratory & Workshop Equipment (Quality-First, Cost-Optimised)
Mechanical test rigs are essential for tensile, fatigue and durability testing. MTC sources complete test frames and custom fixtures for research labs and production test cells. Contact us to set up a quote.
What We Supply:
-
Tensile/compression frames: Universal test machines from benchtop to high‑capacity.
-
Jigs and fixtures: Modular or bespoke fixtures for accurate specimen alignment.
-
Creep & durability setups: Long‑term rigs for creep, fatigue and life‑cycle testing.
-
Bespoke tooling: CNC‑machined clamps, dies and adaptors to suit your parts.
Turn‑key test rooms
We can take your tensile frames, creep rigs and fixtures a step further by designing complete test rooms and laboratories around them, including guarding, services, enclosures and environmental control. This ties your mechanical rigs into a fully compliant, ready‑to‑use facility.
