Biaxial testing machines with mechanical synchronization are used for 2-axis tensile tests on plastics and metals specimens. They are equipped with two load frames, each with two lead screws with left and right-hand threads.
Biaxial testing machines with electrical synchronization are used for 2-axis tensile tests on metal specimens. They are equipped with two load frames, angled at 90° to each other, and each fitted with two central lead screws.
Biaxial testing machines with software synchronization are used for 2-axis tensile tests on plastics specimens or biomechanical materials, They are equipped with four electro-mechanical servo testing actuators.
