Starrett MMD Dual Column Motorized Test Stand
Product Overview
Starrett FMD and MMD Series motorized test stands offer a versatile and robust platform for high-precision force measurement and material testing. Designed to integrate seamlessly with Starrett’s advanced L2, L2 Plus, and L3 software, these stands provide a scalable solution for everything from simple tension and compression tests to complex multistage material analysis.
Whether you require the compact footprint of the single-column FMD or the high-capacity, dual-column design of the MMD, these frames are engineered for industrial durability and repeatability. By automating the testing process, these motorized stands eliminate the variability inherent in manual testing, ensuring consistent data collection for quality control and R&D applications.
Features and Benefits
Automated Precision: Motorized operation ensures constant testing speeds, which eliminates human error and significantly improves measurement repeatability.
Scalable Software Integration: Compatible with L2, L2 Plus, and L3 software suites, allowing users to upgrade capabilities from basic force testing to advanced material analysis without changing hardware.
High-Capacity Versatility: Available in single-column (FMD) and dual-column (MMD) configurations with capacities ranging up to 50kN (11,250 lbf) to handle a wide array of specimen types.
Expanded Testing Workspace: The MMD series features a wide 16.7″ (424mm) testing area between columns, providing ample space for large samples or specialized fixtures.
Enhanced Throughput: Programmable test routines and high-speed return functions raise efficiency by reducing the cycle time between individual tests.
Integrated Safety & Stability: Features a heavy-duty granite base and rigid frame construction to lower risk by minimizing deflection and ensuring operator safety during high-force breaks.
Digital Accuracy: Advanced internal encoders provide precise displacement data, fulfilling the need for high-accuracy quality documentation in regulated industries.
