The compact multi-axis testing system for a wide spectrum of specimens and test types up to 10,000 hours
The Kappa Multistation is a compact and flexible electromechanical creep testing machine with up to six individually controlled load axes. This cost and space efficient testing system is ideal for a wide spectrum of specimen materials, and is considered the specialist for creep tests on plastics and composites. The flexible testing system is ideal for changing test tasks in modern development and testing laboratories, because it can be used for applications at ambient temperature, under low and elevated temperatures as well as in humidity conditions:
- Creep tests with constant load (tensile, flexure and compression tests)
- Creep tests up to break
- Creep rupture
- Stress rupture - Stress relaxation tests with constant elongation
- Force and strain controlled tests (closed loop) with force, strain and temperature sequences (stepless/in blocks)
- Tests with flexible loads, e.g. constant force increase rates
- Time-lapse testing methods, e.g. SIM, TTS, SSM
- Quasi-static tests can also be performed with this testing machine

EMS-GRIVORY Europe, Switzerland
EMS-GRIVORY Europe is one of the leading specialists for high-performance polyamides. At the main location in Domat/Ems, Switzerland, polyamides are developed that can be found in many areas of everyday life. In order to investigate the influence of humidity and temperature on the long-term properties of polyamides, the Kappa Multistation with climate chamber (20°C to 90°C, 20% to 90% humidity) was put into operation.
