What Is the DR-L201-6
Desktop Tensile Testing Machine?
The DR-L201-6 is a compact electromechanical test system with a published 30 kg load-cell capacity. It applies controlled crosshead movement and records force and displacement for compatible low-load tensile, compression or component tests when the required grips, fixtures and software procedure are included.
Quick answer: select DR-L201-6 only when the specimen’s working and break forces fit the configured measurement range and the specimen, two fixtures and required movement fit within the published 400 mm vertical test space.
Where DR-L201-6 Fits
in the Benchtop Range
The category page helps buyers compare compact systems. This product page answers whether the 30 kg configuration and 400 mm space suit one actual test. Similar frames do not make their sensors, fixtures or applications interchangeable.
DR-L201-6
Use this page for the published 30 kg desktop configuration and its actual specimen, fixture, speed and test-space review.
Benchtop category
Use for broad model comparison and selection by force, space, grips and measurement.
DR-L201-1
Use for the dedicated published 5 kg low-force configuration with 900 mm stroke.
Method-specific pages
Use tape, rubber or textile pages when those specimens require dedicated fixtures and procedures.
Will the Complete Test
Fit in 400 mm?
The published vertical test space includes the fixtures. Calculate the installed geometry before selecting the model; the remaining movement—not the headline dimension—is what the specimen can use.
Review another configuration when: long grips, tall compression fixtures, a long specimen or large extension leaves inadequate clearance; the expected force is outside the useful load-cell range; or a method needs direct strain measurement, environmental conditioning or control functions not confirmed for DR-L201-6.
Potential DR-L201-6 Test Pathways
These are configuration pathways, not automatic method claims. Confirm the actual material, specimen, expected force, movement, fixture rating and required calculation before ordering.
Low-load tensile
Compatible films, small polymer specimens, light textiles, threads or components when the grip faces prevent slip and damage and the force fits the measurement range.
Component pull or separation
Small assemblies, connectors, tabs, closures or bonded parts when a purpose-built adapter aligns the force with the intended pull direction.
Compression or functional force
Small parts, springs, buttons or packaging components when suitable platens or probes fit the 400 mm space and the procedure uses supported control and results.
Jaw opening · face material · clamping force · rated load · adapter height · alignment · specimen protection.
Working force · break force · movement · speed · preload · direct strain need · calculations · report fields.
Eight Inputs to Confirm
DR-L201-6
A model number alone cannot establish a valid test. Provide the complete requirement so the 30 kg/optional load cell, 400 mm space, fixtures, speed and software can be reviewed together.
Material or component
Name, construction, surface, flexibility and expected failure behaviour.
Current method
Standard, customer procedure or internal work instruction and revision.
Specimen drawing
Thickness, width, overall length, gripping section and starting gauge or spacing.
Force range
Typical working and maximum/break forces to compare 5, 10 and 30 kg options.
Movement and speed
Required crosshead rate, extension/compression and total travel before stop or break.
Grips or fixtures
Holding faces, jaw opening, adapter geometry, preload, alignment and rated load.
Required results
Peak, break, average, displacement, strength, strain or another defined calculation.
Workflow and documents
Throughput, reports, data export, verification, power, operator language and destination.
Fastest technical review: send the specimen photo/drawing, method, expected force, required movement and result fields together.
