Mark-10 Advanced Test Frames (Series F): F105, F305, F505, F505H + EasyMESUR®
$3,458.00 – $5,282.00
Series F test frames with EasyMESUR® are engineered to perform a wide range of tension and compression tests, including break testing, cycling, limit testing to a load or distance, load holding, average force testing, and more. Set up and run tests, export results, and create a report via the integrated, easy-to-use touchscreen interface – no PC or force gauge required. For unique needs, run the tester from a PC with your own custom application utilizing EasyMESUR®’s serial command library.
Sample setup and fine positioning are a breeze with available FollowMe® force-based positioning – using your hand as your guide, push and pull on the force gauge or load cell to move the crosshead at a variable rate of speed. Engineered around a modular function platform, the EasyMESUR® run screen can be arranged with large, simple controls – or configured for more advanced applications with a selection of optional functions, including distance measurement, graphing, cycling, and more. Purchase functions and packages at time of order or enable them in the field via activation codes. All testers are shipped in a 160-hour evaluation mode, in which all functions are available.
Generous travel, clearance, and depth dimensions accommodate samples of various shapes and properties. Modular mechanical design accommodates single- and double-column extensions for oversized specimens. Select from vertical or horizontal orientations, along with a broad range of force sensor capacities and an expansive array of grips and fixtures.
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.
Any of the below functions may be purchased at time of order or may be enabled in the field at a later date through a code activation process.
A complete options package (EMP-COMP-1) is also available, including all of the below features at a discounted price. The test frames are shipped in Evaluation Mode, during which time all available functions are temporarily enabled for 160 hours of operation.
Individual Functions | |||
---|---|---|---|
Function | Part No. | Description | Co-requirements |
Distance Measurement | EMF001-1 | Measure distance, with the ability to zero the reading. | - |
Distance Limits | EMF002-1 | Stop at user-defined upper and lower distance limits. | - Distance Measurement (EMF001-1) |
Preload | EMF003-1 | Zero the travel position automatically at a user-defined preload value. | - Distance Measurement (EMF001-1) |
High Speed Extension | EMF004-1 | Extend the high end of the speed range to 45 in/min [1,100 mm/min]. | - |
Low Speed Extension | EMF005-1 | Extend the low end of the speed range to 0.02 in/min [0.5 mm/min]. | - |
Cycling | EMF006-1 | Set up to 100,000 cycles, with user-defined upper and lower dwell times. Cycle between any combination of limit switches, travel limits, and load limits. | - If cycling to distance limits, add Distance Measurement (EMF001-1) and Distance Limits (EMF002-1) |
Break Detection | EMF007-1 | Stop when a user-defined drop in force occurs. | - |
Load Holding | EMF008-1 | Stop at, and maintain, a user-defined load for a specified period of time. For best performance, use a force sensor with a capacity as close as possible to the target load. | - |
FollowMe® | EMF009-1 | Push and pull on the sensor’s loading shaft to move the crosshead up and down, ideal for manual positioning prior to a test. Speed increases with applied force. | - |
Graphing & Reporting | EMF010-1 | Graph load vs. time or distance, view statistics, export data, and generate a report, including graph, results, run data, and other information. | - If graphing load vs. distance, add Distance Measurement (EMF001-1) |
PC Control | EMF011-1 | Control the test frame with your own application using a supplied library of motion control and data collection serial commands. While PC control is active, the control panel becomes a pendant, limited to basic, manual controls. | -AC1107 cable, test frame to PC |
Coefficient of Friction Measurement | EMF012-1 | Measure static and dynamic coefficients of friction, with user-defined sled weight. | -G1086 coefficient of friction fixture (suggested) |
Spring Rate Measurement | EMF013-1 | Measure spring rate, with user-defined start and stop data collection triggers. | -Distance Measurement (EMF001-1) Suggested functions: -Distance Limits (EMF002-1) -Preload (EMF003-1) |
