Programmable Test Stand ESM-3010 pages

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.
