F755 / F755S / F1505 / F1505S

Tension / Compression Test Frames

Series F test frames with EasyMESUR® are engineered to perform a wide range of tension and compression tests, including break testing, cycling, limit testing to a load or distance, load holding, average force testing, and more.

Set up and run tests, export results, and create a report via the integrated, easy-to-use touchscreen interface – no PC or force gauge required. For unique needs, run the tester from a PC with your own custom application utilizing EasyMESUR®’s serial command library.

Sample setup and fine positioning are a breeze with available FollowMe® force-based positioning - using your hand as your guide, push and pull on the force gauge or load cell to move the crosshead at a variable rate of speed.

Engineered around a modular function platform, the EasyMESUR® run screen can be arranged with large, simple controls – or configured for more advanced applications with a selection of optional functions, including distance measurement, graphing, cycling, and more. Purchase functions and packages at time of order or enable them in the field via activation codes. All testers are shipped in a 160-hour evaluation mode, in which all functions are available.

Generous travel, clearance, and depth dimensions accommodate samples of various shapes and properties. Modular mechanical design accommodates single- and double-column extensions for oversized specimens.

Select from a broad range of force sensor capacities and an expansive array of grips and fixtures.

Features

Rigid and precise by design

Exceptionally rigid frames feature custom extrusion designs, engineered for stiffness. Factory compensation of test frames and force sensors ensure position accuracy of ±0.006 in / 0.15 mm under any load, at any position.

Stepper motors and controllers drive a ballscrew and linear guideway for smooth, quiet operation, with virtually no speed variation under load.


Limit switches

Solid-state upper and lower limit switches may be used as test limits or as test exceptions. Dual-graduated rulers aid in switch placement.


Easy-to-service electronics

Most electronics are housed in an integrated module, easily replaced without special tools or processes.

EasyMESUR®

EasyMESUR logo

The EasyMESUR® integrated control panel centralizes test setup, test frame control, and data collection into one convenient place. Use the 7” touchscreen to create and run a wide range of tests, including:

  • Test to a load
  • Test to a sample break
  • Test to a distance
  • Load holding
  • Cycle testing
  • Average force testing
  • Spring rate measurement
  • Coefficient of friction testing

View data in graphical format or results tables. Save or export data and generate a report, or request/send data via a third-party application such as SPC software.

Certain features require optional functions. Browse the available functions and function packages here.


What's your point of view?

Run a test from the Standard, Graph, or Results views, and switch views as needed. Pass / Fail indicator easily identifies problematic samples.


Test setup is easy as 1-2-3

Robust data acquisition and management

Blazingly fast

Force sensor sampling rate of 5,000 Hz yields accurate peak measurements even in quick-duration events. EasyMESUR® collects load and travel data at up to 100 Hz, and allows up to 100,000 data points per run.

Standard reporting

  • Save a single result per run, such as maximum load to a USB flash drive or internal storage.
  • Save results as an EasyMESUR file for later viewing or export to a .csv file.
  • Each run includes the run number, pass/fail status, and result, such as a maximum compression load.
  • Request data or send data from the control panel via a third-party application such as SPC software (UXU100 communication adapter required)

With the Graphing & Reporting function

  • View and save all data points collected during a run, including reading number, load, elapsed time, and distance (Distance Measurement function required).
  • View statistics for the results.
  • View a graph of load vs. time or load vs. distance (Distance Measurement function required).
  • Create and save a report, including results and graph. Save report templates for future use.

Intelligent manual control

Manually control the test frame to obtain quick load and distance results, or manually position the crosshead prior to a test. Select from several actuation methods, including momentary (button-hold), maintained (button release) motion, jog mode with three distance presets, and FollowMe® force-based positioning.

Push and pull on the force sensor to move the crosshead. Apply greater load to achieve faster motion. FollowMe® is responsive enough for quick positioning as well as fine adjustments.

FollowMe optional function required.


Calibrate force sensors on the test frame or off-site

Calibrate sensors in one of two ways:

Test frame

EasyMESUR® provides an integrated utility, with an intuitive step-by-step wizard. Manual controls allow the technician to use the test frame to apply tension and compression forces.


Secure user access

Control user access to sensitive areas, such as test editing and calibration, via password.

Optional Functions

Any of the below functions may be purchased at time of order or may be enabled in the field at a later date through a code activation process.

A complete options package (EMP-COMP-2) is also available, including all of the below features at a discounted price.

The test stand is shipped in Demo Mode, during which time all available features are temporarily enabled for 160 hours of operation.
