In The Box
The F105-EM, F305-EM, F505-EM, and F505H-EM advanced test frames are shipped as shown at left, and includes the following accessories:
(1) Control panel, mounting bracket, and hardware |
Optional Equipment
Series FS05 force sensorsMeasure tension and compression forces. Mount directly to the test frame’s crosshead without any cables. Capacities from 0.12 to 500 lbF [0.5 to 2,500 N]. | |
Safety shield (AC1092-1, 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 tall samples. Multiple extensions may be stacked for very long samples.
Three lengths are available – 6, 12 and 24 in [150, 300, and 600 mm]. Not compatible with the AC1086 safety shield. |
|
Double column extensions (AC1095-1 / -2 / -3)Accommodate up to a 20 in. [508 mm] wide sample, or ø21.5 in [ø546 mm] round sample.
Three heights are available – 6, 12 and 24 in [150, 300, and 600 mm]. Base contains rows of T-slots for fixture mounting. Not compatible with the AC1086 safety shield. |
|
USB hub (AC1093)Test frame-mounted 4-port USB hub improves cable management and conveniently accommodates peripherals, such as a flash drive, barcode scanner, etc. Compatible with all Series F test frames. | |
Eye end adaptersAllow for quick grip installation and removal, and prevent grip rotation. Mount to common test frames, load cells, and force gauges. |
|
Adapter, FS05 to Plug & Test® connectorAdapts a Series FS05 force sensor or PTAF sensor adapter to Plug & Test® type interface, for ease of external calibration via a Mark-10 indicator. Also permits mounting of a Series FS05 sensor to Models F755, F755S, F1505, and F1505S test frames. | |
Third-party sensor adapter (PTAF)Adapt a third-party party force sensor to Series F frames and Models M5I and M7I indicators. |
