Included in this Package:

FollowMe (SF008) - Position the crosshead by manually pushing or pulling on the force gauge shaft or load cell. Increasing force produces greater speeds. Ideal for setups and quick positioning. (Requirements: Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator)

Travel indication (SF009) - Position is indicated on the control unit display, with output via USB. An internal scale utilising Renishaw technology produces significantly higher accuracy than with conventional rotary encoder-based designs. Backlash and nonlinearity are virtually eliminated.

Computer control (SF010) - Fully control the stand and force gauge/indicator via a custom-written application 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). This option is not required for MESUR gauge Plus software. (Requirements: Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator, SF009 travel indication)

Travel limits (SF011) - The stand stops at or cycles between upper and lower travel distances. (Requirements: SF009 travel indication)

Overload protection (SF012) - Protects a force gauge or force sensor against overload. Also compatible with many competitors’ gauges. (Requirements: Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator)

Auto return (SF013) - 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. (Requirements: To reverse at specified force: Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator; To reverse at travel limit: SF011 travel limits; - To reverse at break: SF019 break detection)

Cycling/dwell time (SF014) - Same as auto-return, but programmable up to 99,999 cycles. Programmable dwell time at upper and lower limits up to 9,999 seconds. (Requirements: Same as auto-return, at the same speed in each direction. Add SF016 for independent up and down speeds.)

Independent up and down Speeds (SF016) - Individually specify speeds for the up and down directions.

Low-speed range extension (SF017) - Extends the standard speed range down to 0.001 in/min (0.02 mm/min).

High-speed range extension (SF018) - ESM1500 / ESM1500S: Extends the max speed to 90 in (2,300 mm)/min.

Break detection (SF019) - Crosshead stops at a programmable drop in force. (Requirements: Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator)

Load holding (SF020) - Dynamically adjusts the crosshead position to maintain a specified load for an indefinite or specified period of time. (Requirements: Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator, If a specified time is required, order SF014 cycling / dwell time)

Preload/sample touch (SF021) - Stops the crosshead and/or zeroes the travelling display at an initial preload - useful in tensile, spring, elongation, and other applications. (Requirements: SF009 travel indication, Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator)

Profiles (SF022) - Save and recall sets of test parameters, such as speeds, travel limits, preload, etc. A maximum of 50 profiles may be stored.
