The Bi-axial cruciform specimen test systems feature high-stiffness; precision-aligned annular load frame with 4 four
identical and independently controlled servo-actuators Using the advanced features of the controller to provide
translation and deformation control of each axis, these systems are ideal for strength, fatigue and fracture testing of
cruciform type test specimens with cracks or notches under a wide variety of synchronous biaxial load conditions with
automatic specimen alignment to avoid shear loads.
