Mark-10 ESM301 Programmable Test Stand with PC Control

This test stand is feature rich and highly configurable. It is built on a unique modular platform; this allows for "build-your-own" customizability to fit a wide range of needs. Features can be ordered at time of purchase or can be activated in the field. Integrated travel indication, overload protection, and a host of programmable parameters make the ESM301 very sophisticated, while its intuitive menu structure allows for quick, simple setup and operation. Optional password protection works to prevent unauthorized changes. With its rugged and modular design, the ESM301 is an excellent solution for applications in laboratory and production environments.

Dimensions

Model - Mark-10 ESM301 Test Stand

Models are available for 110 or 220 volts.

• ESM301: 110 VAC
• ESM301E: 220 VAC

Any of the below option packages may be purchased at time of order or may be enabled in the field at a later date though a simple activation process. A complete options package is also available, including all of the below features at a discounted price.

• Computer Control
  A bi-directional RS-232 port is provided to interface with a PC. Users can write their own custom program or control the stand via a PC using NexygenTM TCD software.
  
  The following are required with PC control:
  • Series BG force gauge (more info)
  • 09-1056 serial cable (see below)
  • 09-1143 multi-function cable (see below)
  • ESM301-001 integrated travel indication (see below)
  • EF011 programmable travel set points (see below)
• Travel Indication
  Travel is indicated on the front panel, and an RS-232 port is supplied. Position indication is provided via an internal linear scale, producing significantly higher accuracy than with conventional rotary encoder-based designs. Backlash and nonlinearity are virtually eliminated.
  
• Programmable Travel Limits The ESM301 can stop at or cycle between programmable upper and lower travel distances. Requires ESM301-001 travel indication option.
• Overload Protection Protects a force gauge against overload (requires a Series BG force gauge and 09-1143 multi-function cable). The user programs the desired percentage of full scale of the gauge. Adjustable analog output voltage setting allows the ESM301 to interface with virtually any force gauge with analog output.
• Auto-return The crosshead moves to a limit switch, force (requires a Series BG force gauge and 09-1143 cable), or travel position (requires EF011 programmable travel limits), stops, and reverses direction at full speed to the other limit switch, force, or travel position.
• Cycling / Dwell Time Same as Auto-return, but with the ability to program the number of cycles up to 99,999 cycles. Dwell time allows the operator to program the length of time, up to 9,999.9 seconds, in 0.1 second intervals, for which the crosshead pauses between cycles. Independent up and down speeds may be programmed (requires EF013).
• Programmable Button Functions
  Expands UP and DOWN button operation to three user-configurable modes:
  1. Maintained (standard): short push produces continuous motion until STOP is pressed
  2. Momentary: crosshead moves only while the button is pressed
  3. Auto: short push produces maintained motion, while holding the button down will produce momentary motion
• Independent Up and Down Speeds
  Configurable speeds for up and down directions
• Low Speed Extended Range
  Extends the speed range to 0.02 - 13 in/min (0.5 - 330 mm/min)
• High Speed Extended Range
  Extends the speed range to 0.5 - 45 in/min (13 - 1100 mm/min)
