Starrett L-Series Force Software
Product Overview
The Starrett L-Series software suite transforms any motorized test stand into a powerful, digital workstation designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern quality control and R&D. By offering three distinct tiers of capability—L2 for Force Measurement, L2 Plus for Force Analysis, and L3 for Material Characterization—this suite provides a “Better Way” for users to capture, analyze, and manage their testing data. All versions feature a touchscreen-friendly, Windows-based interface that simplifies test setup and eliminates the need for manual calculations.
Whether you are performing simple peak-load checks on a production floor or determining Young’s Modulus for a new composite in a laboratory, the L-Series software scales to your needs. The software integrates seamlessly with Starrett’s FMS, FMD, MMS, and MMD frames, ensuring that as your testing requirements grow more complex, your hardware remains a constant, reliable platform for precision.
Features and Benefits
Scalable Functionality: Seamlessly upgrade from basic force testing (L2) to advanced graphical analysis (L2 Plus) or full material characterization (L3) as your project requirements evolve.
Intuitive Touch Interface: Optimized for Windows 10/11 touchscreen workstations, raising efficiency by reducing the learning curve for new operators.
Post-Test Graphical Analysis: (L2 Plus/L3) Use interactive tools to measure any point or segment on a high-resolution graph after the test is complete, improving quality through deeper data insights.
Standardized Testing Templates: Includes pre-built setups for ASTM, ISO, and DIN standards, lowering risk by ensuring compliance with international testing protocols.
Automated Pass/Fail Results: Set tolerance limits that provide instant visual cues to operators, accelerating high-volume production testing.
Dual-Channel Extensometer Support: (L3 only) Capture precise strain and elongation data for true material property validation, essential for aerospace and medical applications.
Advanced Data Export: Easily export raw data or professional PDF reports to CSV and Excel formats for seamless integration into your LIMS or quality management system.
