This model is discontinued.
Accessories and options can still be ordered if you have an existing test stand.
For new test stands please check out the new Mark-10 F series with EasyMesur and F series with IntelliMesur software.

FEATURES
SPECIFICATIONS
OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS
Any of the below functions may be purchased at time of order or may be activated in the field at a later date via an activation code. A complete options package is also available at a discounted price. The stand is supplied in Demo Mode, a 160-hour time period in which all functions are temporarily enabled.
| Feature | Part No. | Description | Requirements |
| FollowMe™ | AF008 | Crosshead movement responds to manually pushing or pulling on the force gauge shaft or load cell. Increasing force produces greater speeds. Ideal for setups and quick positioning. |
|
| Travel indication | AF009 | Travel is indicated on the control unit display, with output via USB. An internal scale utilizing Renishaw technology produces significantly higher accuracy than with conventional rotary encoder-based designs. Backlash and nonlinearity are virtually eliminated. |
|
| Computer control | AF010 | The ESM303 may be fully controlled by a PC through a custom-written program in any language supporting ASCII communications. Also responds to the legacy Chatillon TCD command set and legacy Nexygen TCD software (not available from Mark-10). |
|
| Programmable travel limits | AF011 | The stand stops at or cycles between programmable upper and lower travel distances. |
|
| Overload protection | AF012 | Protects a force gauge or force sensor against overload. Program the desired percentage of full scale of the gauge. Adjustable analog voltage setting allows the stand to interface with virtually any gauge with analog output. |
|
| Auto Return | AF013 | The crosshead moves to a limit switch, force set point, travel position, or break, then stops and reverses direction at full speed to the opposite limit. |
|
| Cycling / dwell time | AF014 | Same as auto return, but with the ability to program up to 100,000 cycles. Programmable dwell time for upper and lower limits (set independently) can be set up for up to 10,000 seconds. |
|
| Independent Up and Down Speeds | AF016 | Configurable speeds for up and down directions. | – |
| Low Speed Extension | EF017 | Extends the standard speed range down to 0.02 in/min (0.5 mm/min). | – |
| High Speed Extension | AF018 | Extends the standard speed range up to 45 in/min (1,100 mm/min). | – |
| Break Detection | AF019 | Crosshead stops at a sudden drop in force. Programmable percentage of peak force. |
|
| Load Holding | AF020 | Dynamically adjusts the crosshead position to maintain a programmed load for an indefinite or specified period of time. |
|
| Preload / Sample Touch | AF021 | Stops the crosshead and/or zeroes the travel display at an initial preload – useful in tensile, compression, spring, elongation, and other applications. Preload is programmable as a percentage of force gauge/load cell full scale. Three modes: (1) stop, (2) stop and zero, and (3) zero without stopping. |
|
| Profiles | AF022 | Save and recall sets of test parameters, such as speeds, travel limits, preloads, etc. Up to 50 profiles may be stored. | – |
| Complete Options Package | AFCOMP | Includes all functions listed above, plus 09-1214 interface cable and 09-1158 USB cable. Requires a Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator with load cell. | |
