MARK-10 Vietnam - STC Vietnam: 09-1162 - MARK-10 Vietnam

The TSFM500-DC Advanced Motorized Force Measurement Test Stand features a capacity of 500 lbF [2,200 N]. Mechanically, the stand shares its design with the TSFM500 motorized test stand, including generous clearance and throat depth, rugged construction, stepper motor design that prevents speed variation with load, and more. The TSFM500-DC offers expanded capabilities, including PC control, programmable cycling, auto return, and other features.

A wide range of force gauges and gripping fixtures
Digital travel display >>
6" [152 mm] travel, 0.0005" [0.01 mm] resolution, SPC output for automated data collection. For output of travel data to a PC, the following items are required: 09-1066 cable and MRS100A communication adapter.Note: continuous data output rate is limited to 2 Hz.
Multi-function cable, gauge to controller
Connects a Series 4, 5, or 7 force gauge to the controller. This single cable is used to transmit set points, overload signals, and force data.
Serial cable, controller to PC
Bi-directional communication with a PC for computer control. Also sends force data from the controller to a PC.
>> RS-232 to USB adapter
Converts RS-232 to USB output. Includes USB cable and installation CD.
Column extension
Column can be extended to custom lengths (see Ordering Information).
Eye End Adapters >>Allow for quick grip installation and removal, and prevent grip rotation. Mount to common test frames, load cells, and force gauges

Computer Control

An RS-232 port is provided to interface with a PC. The TSFM500-DC accepts a number of commands pertaining to test stand motion and force gauge functions*. The following additional items are required for PC control:

- Series 5 or Series 7 force gauge (more info)

- 09-1056 serial cable (see Optional Equipment)

- 09-1162 multi-function cable (see Optional Equipment)
Overload Protection
Protects a force gauge against overload (requires a Series 4, 5, or 7 force gauge and 09-1162 multi-function cable). The user programs the desired percentage of full scale of the gauge. Adjustable analog output voltage setting allows the test stand to interface with virtually any force gauge with analog output.

Auto-return
The crosshead moves to a limit switch or force set point (requires a Series 4, 5, or 7 force gauge), stops, and reverses direction at maximum speed to the other limit switch or set point.

Cycling / Dwell Time
The crosshead moves up and down between limit switches or force set points (requires a Series 4, 5, or 7 force gauge). Configurable up to 99,999 cycles. Dwell time allows the operator to program the amount of time, up to 9,999.9 seconds, in 0.1 second intervals, for which the crosshead pauses at limits.

Programmable UP / DOWN Button Functions
UP and DOWN button operation can be configured in three user-configurable modes: Maintained: a short push produces continuous motion until STOP is pressed, Momentary: crosshead moves only while the button is pressed, and Auto: short push produces maintained motion, while holding down the button will produce momentary motion.

Independent Up and Down Speeds
Programmable independent speeds for up and down directions

Selectable speed units of measurement (in/min & mm/min)

Password protection

Prevents unauthorized changes to test parameters

*Contains no integrated travel measurement. Travel information available only through the external TSF001 digital travel display, requiring an additional serial port on the PC. For an integrated solution with full PC control, including travel distance, see test stand models ESM301 or ESM1500.
