Mark-10 EFCOMP Complete Options Package for ESM301
Use these highly configurable motorized test stands for tension and compression testing applications up to 300 lb (1.5 kN). With a rugged and modular design, these test stands are ideal in production and lab environments. Easily control stands from the front digital panel or via a computer through an ASCII command set or through Nexygen™ TCD software. The base test stand's standard capabilities include selectable speed units of measurement (in/min and mm/min), an LCD display with UP, DOWN, STOP, and emergency stop buttons and soft keys, password protection of test parameters, integrated travel limit switches, and more.
Complete options package for ESM301L which includes:
Travel indication(ESM301-001, ESM301L-001)
Travel is indicated on the front panel, and an RS-232 port is supplied. Position indication is provided via an internal linear scale, producing significantly higher accuracy than with conventional rotary encoder-based designs. Backlash and nonlinearity are virtually eliminated.
Computer control(EF010)
A bi-directional RS-232 port is provided to interface with a PC. Users can write a custom program utilizing a library of ASCII commands or control the stand via a PC using legacy Nexygen TCD software (not available from Mark-10).
Programmable travel limits(EF011)
The ESM301 can stop at or cycle between programmable upper and lower travel distances.
Overload protection(EF012)
Protects a force gauge against overload. Program the desired percentage of full scale of the gauge. Adjustable analog output voltage setting allows the ESM301 to interface with virtually any gauge with analog output.
Auto Return(EF013)
The crosshead moves to a limit switch, force set point, travel position, or break, then stops and reverses direction at full speed to the other limit.
Cycling / dwell time(EF014)
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(EF016)
Configurable speeds for up and down directions.
Low Speed Extension(EF017)
Extends the speed range to 0.02 - 13 in/min (0.5 - 330 mm/min).
High Speed Extension(EF018)
Extends the speed range to 0.5 - 45 in/min (13 - 1100 mm/min).
Break Detection(EF019)
Crosshead stops at a sudden drop in force. Programmable percentage of peak force.
Load Holding(EF020)
Dynamically adjusts the crosshead position to maintain a programmed load for an indefinite or specified period of time.
Preload / Sample Touch(EF021)
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 full scale. Three modes: (1) stop, (2) stop and zero, and (3) zero without stopping.
