800L Applications

Ideal for research labs where test requirements change, and system flexibility is valued. The 800L is configurable and expandable and rated for high forces (7500 lb) yet controls very low loads (mN / subgram). The actuators are available with long stroke options yet offer high precision position control (0.1 micron).

* Static Stress Strain & Materials Properties
* Dynamic Impact & Characterization
* High Frequency Fatigue
* Micromechanical - High Resolution
* Biaxial (axial - torsional)
* Environments (ovens, bathes)



Choices include
* Force ratings: 3000 lb and 7500 lb
* Column lengths: made to order
* Column clearances: 16", 20", 24"


 

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 Selection - Max Force, Stroke, Frequency
* Load cell
* 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

 

Biaxial (Axial Torsion) Configuration

The 800L can be configured as a biaxial axial torsion test system with the addition of hardware and software associated with a second torsional channel. The torsion channel can be supplied as either an integrated biaxial package that is to be used always as a single station axial / torsional tandem actuator set or as a module which then enables the user to configure two stations (one axial - second torsion). If biaxial tests are the single focus - purchase an integrated package. If not, consider the flexibility of being able to go back and forth and having a second station at no added cost.


Choices include
* 1 station Integrated Axial Torsion
* 2 station Axial Sta 1, Torsion Sta 2, Axial/Torsion Sta 3 (user configurable) - modular


 

Controlled Test Environments

Our accessories products include high and low termperature furnaces and ovens integrated with our test systems. 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)
* High / Low Environmental Ovens (-175C to 800C)
* Furnaces (800C to 1200C)

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 800L.


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


 

High Speed Impact or Fatigue Applications

High frequency tests require LM actuators which approach test speeds of 100 Hz. Several force ranges are available in vertical or horizontal mounted arrangements. Ideal for high speed low force tests (medical devices and electronics). Actuator strokes of 25 mm (1") and more are available. The same machine is capable of static tests.


Choices include
* 800LM25 or LM80 actuators
* Long test stroke
* High resolution measurement and control
