Features
The ESM303 is a highly configurable single-column force tester for tension and compression measurement applications up to 300 lbF [1.5 kN], with a rugged design suitable for laboratory and production environments. Sample setup and fine positioning are a breeze with available FollowMeTM 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.
With generous travel, clearance, and depth dimensions, a wide range of tests can be performed, including break testing, cycling, limit testing to a load or distance, loadholding, 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, all protected by a password. Save up to 50 profiles to accommodate a range of test methods.
When the ESM303’s clearance is insufficient for the application, its modular mechanical design allows for single- and double-column extensions. Modularity extends to the controller functions as well. Individual functions, such as travel measurement, cycling, loadholding, etc., may be purchased either upfront or enabled in the field through an activation code. This a-la-carte platform allows for custom configuration as appropriate for the application and budget.
Force and travel data can be output to a PC for graphing and analysis using MESURTMgauge software. Or, fully control the stand by a PC through a customwritten program with ASCII communication.
Standard Features

Mark-10 ESM303-003 Safety Shield For ESM303 Test Stand
This safety shield attaches to an ESM303 test stand, providing pinch and sample debris protection for the operator.
The shield is constructed of rugged PETG material. It rotates via ultra-smooth bearings in both the clockwise and counter-clockwise directions, guided into the open or closed positions with magnetic detents. An electrical interlock prevents test stand operation while the door is open.
For crosshead adjustment during sample loading, the FollowMe™ force-based positioning function is active even while the door is open. The FollowMeTM function is included with the shield, and does not need to be separately ordered with the test sta
