The ESM303 is a highly configurable single-column force tester for tension and compression measurement applications up to 300 lbF (1.5 kN) with a rugged design suitable for laboratory and production environments. 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 gage or load cell to move the crosshead at a variable rate of speed.
When the ESM303's clearance is insufficient for the application, its modular mechanical design allows for single and double-column extensions. Modularity extends to the controller functions, as well. Individual functions, such as travel measurement, cycling, loadholding, etc. may be purchased either up-front or enabled in the field through an activation code. This a-la-carte platform allows for custom configuration as appropriate for the application and budget.
