Text version of the page

Programmable Test Stand w/ PC Control (ESM301) The Programmable Force Tester is a highly configurable motorized test stand for tension and compression testing applications up to 1.5kN (300 lb). The stand can be controlled from the front panel or via a computer and is fully compatible with Nexygen™ TCD software. The Programmable Force Tester is engineered on a unique modular platform, allowing for “build-your-own” configurability. Features can be ordered individually at time of order or activated in the field. Integrated travel indication, overload protection, and a host of programmable parameters makes the tester quite sophisticated, while its intuitive menu structure allows for quick, simple setup and operation. A password can be programmed to prevent unauthorized changes. With a rugged and modular design, the Programmable Force Tester is a compelling solution for applications in laboratory and production environments. Standard Features • LCD display with UP, DOWN, STOP, and emergency stop buttons and soft keys • Selectable speed units of measurement (mm/min & in/min) • Password protection of test parameters, to prevent unauthorized changes • Integrated travel limit switches • Removable fixture mounting plate with matrix of threaded holes • Stepper motor-driven, produces 0% speed variation with load • Mounting holes for bench mounting • Unique mechanical design significantly reduces column bending Optional Hardware Features �¡ Integrated travel indication with RS-232 output Displays travel distance for the entire stroke of the test stand. Standard RS-232 output is provided. �¡ Multi-function cable, BG gauge to controller Connects a Series BG force gauge to the controller. This single cable is used to transmit set points, over load signals, and force data. �¡ Serial cable, controller to PC Sends force and travel data on a single cable via RS-232 to a PC. �¡ Column extensions Available in 150 mm (6”), 300 mm (12”), 600 mm (24”), and custom lengths �¡ Bench mounting kit Facilitates safe mounting to a work bench. Consists of a set of mounting adapters, and four sets of hardware with Allen key to accommodate surfaces of various thickness. �£ The ESM301 is shown in a typical configuration with Series BG digital force gauge and G1008 film & paper grips. �£ Digital controller contains a backlit LCD screen with menu choices for ease of setup and operation �£ Optional integrated travel indication
