Description

Features

Rigid and precise by design

Exceptionally rigid frames feature custom extrusion designs, engineered for stiffness. Factory compensation of test frames and force sensors ensure position accuracy of ±0.006 in / 0.15 mm under any load, at any position.

Stepper motors and controllers drive a ballscrew and linear guideway for smooth, quiet operation, with virtually no speed variation under load.

Conveniently modular

Frame bases can be removed to accommodate column extensions and alternative mounting configurations. Most electronics are housed in a self-contained enclosure, easily accessed and replaced if needed. Integrated T-slots along the column accommodate add-ons.

External limit switches

Solid-state upper and lower limit switches may be used as test limits or as test exceptions. Dual-graduated rulers aid in switch placement.

Seamless force sensor interface

Series FS05 smart force sensors mount directly to the crosshead of models F105, F305, F505, and F505H, without any connection cables. Ranges available from 0.12 to 500 lbF [0.5 N to 2.5 kN]. Accurate to ±0.1% of full scale.

Series FS06 S-beam type force sensors mount to models F105, F305, F505, and F505H, recommended when using heavy and bulky grips. Ranges available from 50 to 500 lbF [250 N to 2.5 kN].

Easy-to-service electronics

Most electronics are housed in an integrated module, easily replaced without special tools or processes.

Optional Equipment

• USB cable A to C 6″  (AC1116)
  • Connect the EasyMESUR control panel to a PC for file transfer.

• Control panel tabletop mounting kit (AC1085)
  • For applications requiring remote use of the control panel. Features an adjustable viewing angle and a base with thru holes for bench mounting.

• Shield (AC1092-2)
  • Provides pinch and sample debris protection for the operator. Includes an electrical interlock, preventing operation while the door is open.

• Single column extensions (AC1094-1 / -2 / -3)
  • Increase the vertical clearance for longer samples (travel distance remains the same). Select from 6, 12 and 24 in [150, 300, and 600 mm] heights. Multiple extensions may be stacked in line.
