100L Applications

Ideal where load frames need to be made to a test requirement or where a simple single column load frame serves needs. The 100L product family is configurable and expandable. Actuators are available with long stroke options yet offer high precision position control (0.1 micron).

* Static Stress Strain & Materials Properties
* Dynamic Impact & Characterization
* Micromechanical - High Resolution



Choices include
* Force ratings: LM & LE2 Actuators
* Column lengths: cut to order
* Column clearances: made to order (3" typical)


 

Actuators & Transducers

Actuators are selected for maximum force, speed (hz) and stroke. Each actuator is matched to a power pack which requires 110V or 220V. Load cells, LVDT's, encoders and extensometers are selected to needs. NOTE: servo-all-electric actuators offer very high resolution control and may be used in small low force tests with a small load cell.


Actuator & Transducer Sizing
* Actuator - M25, M80, E2
* Load cell - from 50 g to full scale
* LVDT's and encoders
* Extensometers

Servocontroller Configuration

The Servocontroller is the heart of any test system and key to usable test data. The 2350 leads the industry in speed (20 kHz) and control resolution (24 bit) . It offers multiple features including user settable ranging, a lower noise floor and when coupled with servo-all-electric actuators offering amazing load, strain and stroke bandwidth.


Configure Controller
* Select 16 or 24 bit resolution
* Configure Signal Conditioners (currently max 16 CH)
* Configure Auxiliary Data Acquisition
* Configure Digital IO (currently max 32 CH)


 

 

Software Products

2350 controllers have two software control products to choose from - single channel (MTL) or multichannel (MS). In addition, optional software products include Global Data Sharing (GDS) developers tools, standard application software programs, and made to order applications.


Choices include
* MTL Single Channel Control Software
* MS Multichannel / Multistation Control Software
* GDS (Global Data Sharing) Software Products

Selected Application Engineered Solutions

 

Engineered Solutions

A customer needed to perform in vivo tests on animals to determine the optimal path to recovery for patients with bone fractures. A special frame having the ability to pivot and lock in place required the features of the 100L. The E2 actuator enabled high precision load control where safety and reliability were very important.



 

Controlled Test Environments

Our accessories products includes several environmental accessories that are compatible with the 100L Series.Medical testing applications are served by several environmental systems targeted at the range of 10C to 50C - including air and liquid media (saline).


Choices include
* BioBath Series - saline, other (ambient to 70C)
* AirBath Series (10C to 50C)

Micromechanical Applications

Extremely small loads and displacements call for special attention to the configuration of the test system. Load cell and stroke sensor selection, coupled with high resolution signal conditioning makes it possible to stretch the performance and resolution of an 100L.


Choices include
* Small load cells - 50 g (0.1 N) full scale
* Precision extensometers and LVDTs'
* 24 bit low noise signal conditioners
