Motorized Test Stand - ESM301

The ESM301 is highly configurable motorized test stands for tension and compression testing applications up to 300 lbF (1.5 kN) for laboratory and production environments. The stands can perform a wide range of tests, including break testing, cycling, limit testing to a load or distance, load holding, 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. The stands can be controlled via its console or PC.

Functions are offered individually through a unique “build-your-own” configuration platform. Order any combination of functions to customize the stand to specific requirements. Functions not ordered originally can be activated in the field. A password can be set to protect against unauthorized changes. Modular mechanical design allows the test frame and controller to be separated for various mounting configurations.

Standard Features

• LCD display with UP, DOWN, STOP, & emergency stop buttons & variable function keys
  
• Selectable speed units of measurement (in/min & mm/min)
  
• Password protection of test parameters
  
• Integrated travel limit switches
  
• Removable fi xture mounting plate with matrix of threaded holes
• Stepper motor-driven, produces 0% speed variation with load
  
• Mounting holes for bench mounting
  
• Unique mechanical design signifi cantly reduces column bending

Optional Hardware Features

• Multi-function cable, Series 5/4 to controller (09-1162)
  Connects a Series 5 or Series 4 force gauge to the controller. This single cable is used to transmit set points, overload signals, and force data.
• Serial cable, controller to PC (09-1056)
  Sends force and travel data on a single cable via RS-232 to a PC.
• Column extensions (ESM301-002-1, -2, -3)
  Increase clearance between the force gauge and test stand base. Available in 6” (150 mm), 12” (300 mm), 24” (600 mm), and custom lengths. Bench mounting kit recommended.
  
• Bench mounting kit (ESM301-003)
  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. Recommended when ordering column extensions.
