The ESM303H is a highly configurable horizontal force tester for tension and compression measurement applications up to 300 lbF [1.5 kN], with a rugged design suitable for laboratory and production environments. Sample setup and fine positioning are a breeze with available FollowMe™ force-based positioning - using your hand as your guide, push and pull on the force gauge or load cell to move the crosshead at a variable rate of speed.
With generous travel, clearance, and depth dimensions, a wide range of tests can be performed, including break testing, cycling, limit testing to a load or distance, loadholding, elongation testing, tensile testing, compression testing, and more. Satisfy various test methods through an easy-to-use menu, allowing the configuration of test speed, force and distance limits, cycling, preload, and many other functions, all protected by a password. Save up to 50 profiles to accommodate a range of test methods.
When the ESM303H's clearance is insufficient for the application, its modular mechanical design allows for frame extensions. Modularity extends to the controller functions as well. Individual functions, such as travel measurement, cycling, loadholding, etc., may be purchased either upfront or enabled in the field through an activation code. This a-la-carte platform allows for custom configuration as appropriate for the application and budget.
The ESM303H is designed for use with a load cell and indicator. Force and travel data can be output to a PC for graphing and analysis using MESUR™gauge software. Or, fully control the stand by a PC through a custom-written program with ASCII communication.
Features
- Selectable speed setting
- Right and left travel limit switches
- Adjustable, removable control panel may be mounted to the left or right end of the frame
- Password protection of test parameters
- Stepper motor-driven, producing smooth and quiet operation with no speed variation under load
- USB output of force or force vs. travel
- Compact footprint, suitable for crowded workbenches
- Ergonomic design, with smart, clean cable management
- Integrated electronics assembly, easily removed and transported for service
- Adjustable mounting plate with T-slot base
Simple control panel
Rugged aluminum keys are designed for industrial environments. Zero Travel and FollowMe™ keys add convenience. Control panel may be mounted to either end of the frame, or removed for remote use.
Limit switches
Adjustable left and right solid state limit switches stop test stand travel with 0.001 in. [0.025 mm] repeatability.
Adjustable mounting platewith T-slot base
The mounting plate may be repositioned in the Z- and Y-directions, for proper sample alignment. Matrix of threaded holes for fixture mounting.
Indicator / load cell adapter
The ESM303H accommodates any Mark-10 indicator and Series R01 or R03 force sensor. Includes mounting hardware
FollowMe™
Using your hand as your guide, push and pull on the load cell to move the crosshead. Responsive enough for quick positioning as well as fine adjustments.
Indicators
Consider a Model M7i or M5i indicator to take advantage of all available test stand functions.
Series R03 force sensors(load cells)
Enclosed design. Available in capacities from 0.25 to 100 lbF [1 to 500 N].
Series R01 force sensors(load cells)
Rugged S-beam design. Availablein capacities from 50 lbF and higher.
Grips and eye end adapters
Wide range of grips for tensile, peel, compression, and specialized applications. Eye end adapters allow for quick grip installation and removal, and prevent rotation.
Frame extensions
Increase the clearance for long samples. Three lengths are available - 6, 12 and 24 in [150, 300, and 600 mm].
MESUR™ gauge data collection software
Acquire force vs. time or force vs. distance data via MESURTMgauge. The software tabulates and graphs data, calculates statistics, and provides reporting and output tools.
