Features and Benefits
Improve Product Quality: High-precision crosshead position accuracy (better than 20µm) ensures that every force test is performed under identical conditions for maximum data integrity.
Raise Operational Efficiency: The compact “lean” footprint allows this stand to be integrated directly into production lines, reducing the time spent transporting samples to a central lab.
Lower Compliance Risk: When paired with Starrett L1 software, the system provides traceable, digital data exports that satisfy rigorous regulatory and audit requirements.
Mitigate Equipment Damage: Integrated magnetic travel limits and overload protection safeguards sensitive load cells and expensive fixtures from operator error.
Flexible Application Range: Support for tension, compression, shear, and friction testing allows one stand to serve multiple QC functions across different product lines.
Reduced Training Time: An intuitive OLED interface and tactile jog keys allow operators to master the system quickly, minimizing the risk of setup errors.
Enhanced Repeatability: Motorized control eliminates the human variables associated with manual lever-operated stands, delivering more consistent results across different shifts.
Scalable Capability: Easily switch between basic digital force gage control and full computer-based analysis to meet evolving testing needs.
