At Mark-10 we are always working to offer our customers the
best force and torque measurement equipment, which is why we’re announcing our
newest motorized test stand, the ESM303. This new stand replaces our ESM301
Motorized Test Stand and offers several improvements and enhancements over the
ESM301.
The ESM303 Motorized Test
Stand features a column that completely encloses the motor, which
significantly reduces noise, offers improved aesthetics, and has a more rigid
column to reduce deflection under load. We have also internalized and
streamlined the cable connections for a clean, ergonomic look. The gauge
interface cable attaches directly to the crosshead, and powers the gauge so no
AC adapter is needed. We have also included a USB output so a USB converter is
no longer needed.
The current position is now memorized between power cycles.
The ASCII command set for PC control now includes all Mark-10 force gauge
commands. The control panel has dedicated FollowMe™ and Zero Travel buttons and the FollowMe™ function moves
the crosshead at a variable rate of speed, proportional to the amount of force
applied by hand to the force gauge’s load cell. The available Profiles option
allows the user to save, name, and recall up to 50 test setups (i.e. speeds,
distance limits, cycles, etc.). Additionally, the controller mounts to the side
of the column and can be easily removed for remote operation.
The overall height of the ESM303 is similar to the ESM301
but the new stand features a modular mechanical design that allows for single-
and double-column extensions to accommodate a variety of applications.
