Series F force test systems are designed for tension and compression force testing applications, with force capacities up to 500 lbF (2.2 kN). Select from vertical or horizontal orientations, along with a broad range of force sensor capacities and an expansive array of grips and fixtures.
Set up tests, record data, and analyze data via IntelliMESUR® software. From basic tests to multi-step sequencing, IntelliMESUR® is fully integrated with Series F systems. Select from a pre-configured tablet control panel or standalone software for your own Windows device.
Exceptionally rigid frames feature custom extrusion designs, engineered for stiffness. Factory compensation of test frames and force sensors ensure position accuracy of ±0.002 in / 0.05 mm under any load, at any position.
Stepper motors and controllers drive a ball screw and linear guideway for smooth, quiet operation, with virtually no speed variation under load.
IntelliMESUR® software is an integrated solution running on Windows tablets and PCs. Select a pre-loaded 10.1” tablet with mounting bracket or use your own Windows device. With IntelliMESUR®, you can create and run a wide range of basic and multi-step tests, including:
- Limit testing to a load, break, or distance
- Height measurement
- Load holding
- Cycle testing
- Multi-step testing, utilizing any combination of the above functions
Run a test via the Graph or Results views, and switch views as needed. Pass / Fail indicator easily identifies problematic samples. Individual runs may be invalidated if, for example, the sample slips out of the grips, or the test was interrupted.
Basic tests - Select a test type, and IntelliMESUR® will guide you through the setup.
