The ESM301 and the new ESM301L are highly configurable motorized
test stands for tension and compression testing applications up to 300 lb
(1.5 kN). The stands can be controlled from the front panel or via computer.
The ESM301/ESM301L
is engineered on a unique modular platform, allowing for "build-your-own"
configurability. Features can be ordered individually at time of order or
activated in the field. Integrated travel indication, overload protection,
and a host of programmable parameters makes the ESM301/ESM301L quite sophisticated,
while its intuitive menu structure allows for quick, simple setup and
operation. A password can be programmed to prevent unauthorized changes.
With a rugged and modular design, the test stand is a compelling solution for
applications in laboratory and production environments.
The ESM301
travel distance is 11.5", while the extended length ESM301L
features travel distance of 18". All other specifications are the same.

ESM301 and ESM301L are shown in typical configurations with Series BG
digital force gauges and film and paper grips
STANDARD FEATURES
Selectable speed units of
measurement (in/min & mm/min)
LCD display with UP, DOWN,
STOP, and emergency stop buttons and soft keys
Password protection of
test parameters, to prevent unauthorized changes
Integrated
mechanical limit
switches
Removable fixture mounting
plate with matrix of threaded holes
Stepper motor-driven,
produces 0% speed variation with load
Multi-function cable, BG gauge to
controller
(09-1143) Connects a Series BG force gauge to the
controller. This single cable is used to transmit set points, overload signals,
and force data.
Serial cable, controller to PC
(09-1056)
Sends force and travel data on a single cable
via RS-232 to a PC.
RS-232 to USB adapter
(RSU100) Converts RS-232 to USB
output. Includes USB cable and installation CD.
Bench mounting kit
(ESM301-003) Facilitates safe mounting to a work bench. Consists of a
set of mounting adapters, and four sets of hardware with Allen key to
accommodate surfaces of various thickness. Recommended when ordering column
extensions.
Column extensions
(ESM301-002-1, -2, -3) A
spacer is supplied between the base and the column, increasing clearance between
the force gauge and base (does not increase travel distance). Available in 6", 12", and 24",
and custom lengths. Bench mounting kit is recommended.
Any of the below option packages may be purchased at time of order or may be
enabled in the field at a later date though a simple activation process. A
complete options package is also available, including all of the below features
at a discounted price.
Computer Control
(EF010)
A bi-directional RS-232 port is provided to interface with a PC.
Users can write a custom program utilizing a library of ASCII commands
(see manual
for details) or control the stand via a PC using legacy NexygenTM TCD software.

Travel Indication
(ESM301-001, ESM301L-001)
Travel
is indicated on the front panel, and an RS-232 port is supplied. Position
indication is provided via an internal linear scale, producing significantly
higher accuracy than with conventional rotary encoder-based designs. Backlash
and nonlinearity are virtually eliminated.
Programmable Travel
Limits (EF011)
The ESM301 can stop at or cycle between programmable upper
and lower travel distances. Requires ESM301-001(L) travel indication option.
Overload Protection (EF012)
Protects a force gauge against overload (requires
a Series BG force gauge and 09-1143
multi-function cable). The user programs the desired percentage of full scale of
the gauge. Adjustable analog output voltage setting allows the ESM301 to
interface with virtually any force gauge with analog output.
Auto-return(EF013)
The crosshead moves to a limit switch, force (requires a Series
BG force gauge and 09-1143 cable), or travel position (requires EF011 programmable travel limits),
stops, and reverses direction at full speed to the other limit switch, force, or
travel position.
Cycling / Dwell Time (EF014)
Same as Auto-return, but with the ability to program the number
of cycles up to 99,999 cycles. Dwell time allows the operator to program the
length of time, up to 9,999.9 seconds, in 0.1 second intervals, for which the
crosshead pauses between cycles. Independent up and down speeds may be
programmed (requires EF013).
Programmable Button
Functions (EF015)
Expands UP and DOWN button operation to three user-configurable
modes:
1. Maintained (standard): short push produces continuous motion
until STOP is pressed
2. Momentary: crosshead moves only while the button is pressed
3. Auto: short push produces maintained motion, while holding
the button down will produce momentary motion
Independent Up and Down
Speeds (EF016)
Configurable speeds for up and down directions
Low Speed Extended
Range (EF017)
Extends the speed range to 0.02 - 13 in/min (0.5 - 330 mm/min)
High Speed Extended
Range
(EF018)
Extends the speed range to 0.5 - 45 in/min (13 - 1100 mm/min)
