Description |
Requirements |
| FollowMeTM force-based positioning |
SF008 |
Crosshead movement responds to manually pushing or pulling on the force gauge shaft or load cell. Increasing force produces greater speeds. Ideal for setups and quick positioning. |
Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator |
| Travel indication |
SF009-1 |
Travel is indicated on the control unit display, with output via USB. An internal scale utilizing Renishaw technology produces significantly higher accuracy than with conventional rotary encoder-based designs. Backlash and nonlinearity are virtually eliminated. |

| Computer control |
SF010 |
The ESM1500 may be fully controlled by a PC through a custom-written program in any language supporting ASCII communications. Also responds to the legacy Chatillon TCD command set and legacy Nexygen TCD software (not available from Mark-10). |
Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator
SF009 travel indication
SF011 programmable travel set points
|
| Programmable travel limits |
SF011 |
The stand stops at or cycles between programmable upper and lower travel distances. |
SF009 travel indication option |
| Overload protection |
SF012 |
Protects a force sensor or force gauge against overload. Program the desired percentage of full scale of the gauge. Adjustable analog output voltage setting allows the stand to interface with virtually any gauge with analog output. |
Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator |
| Auto return |
SF013 |
The crosshead moves to a limit switch, force set point, travel position, or break, then stops and reverses direction at full speed to the other limit. |
Reversing at force set point: Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator
Reversing at travel limit: SF011 programmable travel limits option
Reversing at break: SF019 break detection option
|
| Cycling / dwell time |
SF014 |
Same as auto-return, but with the ability to program up to 100,000 cycles. Programmable dwell time for upper and lower limits (set independently) can be set up for up to 10,000 seconds. |
Same as auto-return, at the same speed in each direction. Add SF016 for independent up and down speeds |
| Independent Up and Down speeds |
SF016 |
Individually configure speeds for the up and down directions. |
- |
| Low speed extension |
SF017 |
Extends the standard speed range down to 0.001 in/min (0.02 mm/min). |
- |
| High speed extension |
SF018-1 |
Extends the standard speed range up to 90 in/min (2,300 mm/min). |
- |
| Break detection |
SF019 |
Crosshead stops at a sudden drop in force. Programmable percentage of peak force. |
Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator |
| Loadholding |
SF020 |
Dynamically adjusts the crosshead position to maintain a programmed load for an indefinite or specified period of time. |
Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator
If a specified time is required, order SF014 cycling / dwell time option
|
| Preload / sample touch |
SF021 |
Stops the crosshead and/or zeroes the travel display at an initial preload - useful in tensile, compression, spring, elongation, and other applications. Preload is programmable as a percentage of force gauge/load cell full scale. Three modes: (1) stop, (2) stop and zero, and (3) zero without stopping. |
