Material Force Testing
-
Operators have installed a high capacity pancake load cell (LCF Series) into this hydraulic press material test stand.
-
Intended for tension-based measurements, the load cell will monitor the force applied to the test specimen - in this case a concrete pillar.
-
As the hydraulic press bears down on the concrete pillar, the LCF Load Cell's measure will be streamed to one of three instruments or amplified to a PLC via FUTEK's IAA Strain Gauge Analog Amplifier.
-
The LCF Series Load Cell's data can streamed to either of FUTEK's digital displays: the IHH500 Intelligent Digital Hand Held Display or the IPM650 panel mount display, or it can be streamed directly to the operator's PC via FUTEK's USB Solutions.
-
Any of these instruments can be paired with FUTEK's SENSIT™ Test and Measurement Software, which can perform data logging, live graphing, and monitoring up to 16 channels.
