Axial extensometer

The Vector U200 is a high-precision optical extensometer engineered for accurate axial strain measurement across a broad range of materials, including metals, composites, ceramics and ceramic matrix composites, delivering unmatched accuracy and reliability.

Our Vector Extensometer range only requires simple specimen marking consisting of either filled circles, rings or speckle pattern. By using specific pattern recognition techniques, Vector consistently produces precise measurements without the need for precise positioning or configuration.
