Mark-10 Motorized Tension / Compression Test Stand ESM303

The ESM303 stands as a versatile single-column force tester, adept at measuring tension and compression up to 300 lbF [1.5 kN]. Designed robustly, it's apt for both lab settings and production floors. The unique FollowMe® force-based positioning allows for intuitive sample setup and precise adjustments. Simply use your hand to push or pull the force gauge or load cell, guiding the crosshead at varied speeds.

The ESM303's spacious travel, clearance, and depth dimensions permit a diverse array of tests, from break and cycling tests to tensile, compression, elongation, and loadholding tests, among others. Navigate through its user-friendly menu to set test speed, force and distance limits, preload, cycling, and more. Plus, safeguard your settings with a password and save up to 50 profiles to meet different testing requirements.

Should you require more space, the ESM303's modular design lets you add single or double-column extensions. Its modularity doesn't stop at the physical design; the controller's features are customizable too. Purchase specific functions, like travel measurement or loadholding, either at the outset or activate them later using a code. This modular approach ensures the machine can be tailored to both your application's demands and your budget.

Pair the ESM303 with the PC-based MESUR®gauge Plus software to gather data, graphically represent results, and command test stand motions. Alternatively, leverage its compatibility with any programming language supporting ASCII to achieve full PC control over the stand.
