Mark-10, AFCOMP, Complete Controller Options Kit for ESM303 Horizontal Motorized Test Stand
Requires a Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator with load cell.
Includes:
Crosshead movement responds to manually pushing or pulling on the force gauge shaft or load cell. Increasing force produces greater speeds. Ideal for setups and quick positioning.
Travel is indicated on the control unit display, with output via USB. An internal scale utilizing Renishaw technology produces significantly higher accuracy than with conventional rotary encoder-based designs. Backlash and non-linearity are virtually eliminated.
The ESM303 may be fully controlled by a PC through a custom-written program in any language supporting ASCII communications. Also responds to the legacy Chatillon TCD command set and legacy Nexygen TCD software (not available from Mark-10).
- Programmable travel limits
The stand stops at or cycles between programmable upper and lower travel distances.
Protects a force gauge or force sensor against overload. Program the desired percentage of full scale of the gauge. Adjustable analog voltage setting allows the stand to interface with virtually any gauge with analog output.
The crosshead moves to a limit switch, force set point, travel position, or break, then stops and reverses direction at full speed to the opposite limit.
Same as auto return, but with the ability to program up to 100,000 cycles. Programmable dwell time for upper and lower limits (set independently) can be set up for up to 10,000 seconds.
- Independent Up and Down speeds
Configurable speeds for up and down directions.
Extends the standard speed range down to 0.02 in/min (0.5 mm/min).
Extends the standard speed range up to 45 in/min (1,100 mm/min).
Crosshead stops at a sudden drop in force. Programmable percentage of peak force.
Dynamically adjusts the crosshead position to maintain a programmed load for an indefinite or specified period of time.
Stops the crosshead and/or zeroes the travel display at an initial preload - useful in tensile, compression, spring, elongation, and other applications. Preload is programmable as a percentage of force gauge/load cell full scale. Three modes: (1) stop, (2) stop and zero, and (3) zero without stopping.
Save and recall sets of test parameters, such as speeds, travel limits, preloads, etc. Up to 50 profiles may be stored.
