For more than 35 years, we have been providing cutting-edge tools for research, development, and quality control to the scientific community. Our range of Texture Analysers, Materials Testers, and Volume and Density Measurement instruments are trusted worldwide. With over 200 precision attachments and the most comprehensive software suite available, we offer a complete solution to ensure the accuracy and reliability of your test results.
Our Approach is Built on Three Core Principles
Innovation
Innovation drives everything we do. As pioneers in the industry, we were the first to collect data at 2000 points per second and offer synchronized sound measurement using our Acoustic Envelope Detector. Whether introducing new software features, test methods, or fixtures, we continually push the boundaries of mechanical property testing. Our commitment to advancing testing technology is reflected in our exclusive ownership of Community Registered Designs, setting us apart as leaders in the field.
Education
We possess unparalleled expertise in texture analysis, materials characterization, and volume and density measurement. We believe in sharing our knowledge through our comprehensive Education Zone, a built-in resource offering over 300 application studies, tutorials, data analysis techniques, and more. This vast library helps users maximize the potential of their instruments, guiding them from initial testing to tackling future challenges.
Application
The versatility of our instruments means they can be applied to measure the mechanical properties of a wide range of products. Our team of experts works closely with you to identify a tailored testing solution that fits your unique application. Additionally, our extensive Application Studies library, which covers various industries, provides practical test methods for specific products and is an excellent reference for exploring similar items. Whatever your testing needs, we’re here to help you find the perfect solution.

Striving for Excellence
We take great pride in our long-standing commitment to excellence. Here’s a look at what sets us apart and makes us exceptional in our field.
Product development
Collaboration is at the heart of our product development process. Our teams work closely to tackle even the most challenging projects, always seeking innovative solutions. All product development is carried out at our headquarters in Godalming, where we’ve designed 10 core instruments, over 20 major peripherals, and more than 200 attachments. Since 2007, all attachments developed by Stable Micro Systems are protected as Community Registered Designs.
Software development
We develop our software in-house, which allows us to quickly incorporate user feedback and implement requested features. Our software packages, specifically tailored for texture analysis and volume measurement, are continually updated to be more powerful and user-friendly. We are proud to offer free software updates for the entire lifespan of your instrument.
Manufacturing and engineering
Our foundation is built on a commitment to high-quality engineering and design. This dedication is evident in the precision and quality of every instrument and accessory we produce. Every probe and attachment undergoes thorough inspection for dimensional accuracy, profile, and finish during production. We hold ourselves to the highest standards through rigorous testing in our own applications laboratory, combined with valuable feedback from our customers.
Service and support
Our exceptional service doesn’t end when your instrument is delivered. Our team of experts is always available to assist with any queries, whether it’s advice on testing, macro writing, or training. We stand behind our products with complimentary technical support for all users, ensuring you have the help you need whenever you need it.
Bespoke design service
We thrive on challenges. If none of our 200+ attachments are suitable for your needs, we can design and manufacture a custom solution tailored to your specific testing requirements.
