This paper reports a novel system of multi-axial materials testing. The system can be applied to testing on advanced composite materials and components that are difficult to evaluate using conventional testing machines, we also propose a method to multi-axial materials testing. The proposed system consists of a testing machine, a measuring instrument and a controller. To realize accurate and practical evaluation for the advanced materials, the testing machine is driven by a parallel kinematics (PKM) structure. Making use of the PKM serves not only to achieve complete motions along six axis but also to obtain high dynamical performance.
