Mark-10 Advanced Test Frames (Series F): F105, F305, F505, F505H + INTELLIMESUR®

• Limit testing to a load, break, or distance
• Height measurement
• Load holding
• Cycle testing
• Multi-step testing, utilizing any combination of the above functions
• Materials testing, including stress, strain, Young’s modulus, yield point, and other common calculations via the optional Materials Testing Calculations module.

Run individual runs or batches, and view data in graphical format or results tables. Save or export data as needed, or generate a report.

For best performance with the Load Holding function, use a force sensor with a capacity as close as possible to the target load.

Ready. Set. Go.

From IntelliMESUR®’s home screen, quickly access up to 10 favorite tests. Associate an image with each favorite for easy identification.

Results View

The Results view displays user-selected results for each run. Statistics may be applied to selected results.

• Units of measurement
• Batch size
• Display preferences
• Preload
• Operator prompts

• Test objective
• Speed
• Pass / fall limits
• Exception limits

• Final load
• Maximum load
• Minimum load
• Load at max. distance
• Load at min. distance
• Average load
• Delta load
• Maximum distance
• Final distance
• Minimum distance
• Height
• Distance at max. load
• Distance at min. load
• Distance at break
• Delta distance
• Area under the curve

Multi-step tests

Building upon basic test wizards, easily incorporate any combination of steps, with the ability to loop a sequence of steps. Select from:

• Move to load
• Move to distance
• Move to break
• Hold a load or position
• Loop / cycle
• Datum
• Prompts
• Save current load or position
• Zero load or position
• Return to Home position
• Coefficient of friction testing – optional

Operator prompting

Prompts can appear at the beginning of each test, batch, or run.

Ask prompts ask the operator for information which is saved in the results table – for example, a lot number. Type the response or use a barcode scanner.

Tell prompts provide instructions to the operator, and can include an image.

Take your measurements to new heights

Use Height Mode to determine height at a specific load, commonly used in spring testing. A datum may be set to define the reference point.

Deflection compensation

Series F test frames and force sensors are deflection-compensated at the factory, resulting in system distance measurement accuracy of ±0.002 in / 0.05 mm at any load and at any position along the frame. To further compensate grips and attachments, use IntelliMESUR®’s deflection compensation utility. The deflection offset file can be associated with the test setup file.

Save or export data

Automatically or manually save individual runs and results to a USB drive or file location of your choice. File names are automatically generated with the test name and time stamp, for quick searchability.

Results sets and data from individual runs may also be exported as .csv files.

Intelligent manual control

Manually control the test frame to obtain quick force and distance results, or manually position the crosshead prior to a test. Select from several actuation methods, including momentary (button-hold), maintained (button release) motion, jog mode with three distance presets, and FollowMe® force-based positioning.

Calibrate force sensors on the test frame or off-site

Calibrate Series FS05 and R07 force sensors in one of two ways:

Off-site

Conveniently remove the force sensors for off-site calibration with a Mark-10 Model M7I or M5I indicator (requires optional AC1083 adapter).

Secure user access

Control user access with three permissions levels:

• Administrators have full access.
• Supervisors can create a test, run reports, calibrate force sensors, and change settings.
• Operators may recall and run a test, but cannot create a test or perform more advanced functions.

IMF002

Characterize and analyze the behavior of materials, components, and assemblies with a suite of materials testing calculations, including:

• Stress and strain
• Tensile strength
• Shear strength
• Young’s modulus (auto-calculate or manually draw)
• Yield point
• Offset yield (user-specified percentage)
• Rupture
• Percent elongation
• Flexural modulus
• Force per unit width
• Wide variety of results based on the above calculations, such as stress at maximum strain, strain at rupture, etc.

IntelliMESUR® formats calculations into a Results table, with corresponding statistics for multiple runs. View a stress-strain curve with annotated calculations. Display up to 10 runs simultaneously for visual comparison.

Note: Calculations are not available for multi-step tests.

The materials testing graph view displays Young’s modulus, yield strength, offset yield strength, ultimate strength, and rupture.

IMF001

Measure static and dynamic COF for a wide range of materials, per ASTM D1894 and other relevant standards. Specify the sled weight and configure data collection start and stop triggers. This module can be ordered upfront or enabled in the field via activation code.
