Computerized & Servo Control UTM Supplier for Nigeria
MCS Mechatronic manufactures computerized and servo control universal testing machines in Kolhapur, India, and exports them to steel mills, pipe plants, construction laboratories and universities across Nigeria. One machine handles tensile, compression, bend, shear and transverse tests on metals, rebar, wire, polymers and building materials, from 100 kN up to 2000 kN.
Nigeria's steel rolling mills, construction boom and oil and gas sector have made material testing a growing priority. SON has stepped up checks on reinforcement bars and building materials, and universities, polytechnics and private labs across Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt are upgrading their testing equipment. A reliable UTM sits at the centre of that testing, and both of our UTM ranges are built to give repeatable results under daily production loads.
Choose Your UTM: Computerized or Servo Control
Buyers in Nigeria usually choose between two MCS models. Both share the same controller, software and capacity range; the difference lies in how load and strain rate are controlled and how specimens are gripped.
Computerized Universal Testing Machine (UTE)
MCS-UTE series
The workhorse hydraulic UTM for tensile, compression, bend and transverse tests, driven by the MCS-MC01 controller and Unitest-Plus software.
- Six capacities from 100 kN to 2000 kN (UTE-10 to UTE-200)
- Load accuracy of ±1% across the rated range
- Piston displacement resolution of 0.1 mm
- Manual as well as computerized control from the same machine
- Optional split furnace for tests up to 1200 °C
Computerized Servo Control Universal Testing Machine (UTE-S)
MCS-UTE-S / FLG series
Closed-loop servo control of load and strain rate with a front-loading crosshead and hydraulic grips, built for high-volume and rate-critical testing.
- Seven capacities from 100 kN to 2000 kN
- Front-loading crosshead for quick grip and specimen changes
- Hydraulic gripping with an in-built power pack
- Piston displacement resolution of 0.01 mm
- Servo-valve control of load rate and strain rate

UTM Applications in Nigeria
Our machines are used by steel rolling mills, oil and gas service companies, construction and cement producers, building material labs, universities and polytechnics. Typical Nigerian applications include:
Steel rebar and TMT bars
Yield strength, tensile strength, elongation and bend/re-bend checks on reinforcement bars
Line pipe and structural steel
Tensile coupons from plates, pipe and welded joints for mill and project QC
Wire, cable and conductors
Breaking load and elongation of wires, strands and conductors
Fasteners and forgings
Proof load and tensile tests on bolts, studs and forged parts
Concrete, cement and construction
Compression and flexural tests for site and third-party laboratories
Universities and research labs
Teaching and research on metals, polymers and composites
Testing Standards Supported
MCS universal testing machines conform to IS:1828 and ASTM E8, and are used for tests carried out under methods such as ISO 6892-1 (metallic tensile testing), ASTM A370 (steel products) and the rebar tensile and bend clauses of ASTM A615 / BS 4449.
In Nigeria, product conformity is overseen by SON (Standards Organisation of Nigeria), and laboratories that issue accredited reports work under NiNAS (Nigeria National Accreditation Service). Unitest-Plus reports carry load, displacement and extension data with stress-strain curves, and can be exported to PDF or Excel for your lab records and client submissions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you export universal testing machines to Nigeria?
Yes. MCS Mechatronic manufactures computerized and servo control universal testing machines in Kolhapur, India, and exports them to customers in Nigeria. Machines are shipped in export packing to ports such as Apapa Port, Lagos and Tin Can Island Port, Lagos.
What is the difference between the computerized UTM and the servo control UTM?
Both cover 100 to 2000 kN and run on the MCS-MC01 controller with Unitest-Plus software. The servo control model adds closed-loop servo-valve control of load and strain rate, hydraulic grips with a front-loading crosshead, and a finer 0.01 mm displacement resolution, which suits high-volume and rate-critical testing.
Which UTM capacity should I choose for rebar testing in Nigeria?
Capacity depends on the largest bar diameter and grade you test. As a guide, 600 kN suits bars up to about 25 to 28 mm, and 1000 kN or 2000 kN covers 32 to 40 mm bars and higher grades. Share your bar sizes and grades and we will recommend a model.
Which standards do MCS universal testing machines meet?
MCS UTMs conform to IS:1828 and ASTM E8, and are used for tensile, compression and bend tests under methods such as ISO 6892-1, ASTM A370 and the rebar clauses of ASTM A615 and BS 4449.
Do you provide documents for SONCAP clearance in Nigeria?
Imports into Nigeria go through the SONCAP conformity programme, which is handled by the importer. MCS machines conform to IS:1828 and ASTM E8, and the test reports from Unitest-Plus can be laid out to suit your SON or client specification. We supply the technical datasheets and documents needed for the SONCAP process.
Can the machine run on the power supply used in Nigeria?
Standard models run on 400 to 440 V three-phase power. Nigeria's three-phase supply is 415 V at 50 Hz, so please mention your site voltage and frequency in your enquiry and the motor and drive will be matched to it.
