ADMET introduces the Precise Digital Controller
for materials testing and reporting
Supports virtually any materials testing machine…
NORWOOD, Mass. – May 19, 2003 – ADMET Inc., a provider of integrated materials testing systems, today announced the Precise Digital Controller, a full-function, self-contained test controller for new and retrofit applications. Designed for both manually operated and servo-equipped, electromechanical and hydraulic testing machines, the Precise Digital Controller is an inexpensive, easy-to-use alternative to personal computer-based test controllers.
The self-contained unit presents a more closely controlled platform than a general purpose personal computer. Its test-specific keypad and display make the Precise easy to learn and set up. This defined environment reduces both data collection and data reporting errors. The Precise Digital Controller stores three test procedures and up to 350 test results per procedure to make it easy to build repeatable test suites to compare results. Closed loop servo capabilities facilitate accurate, repeatable testing.
The Precise Digital Controller offers a range of testing features:
Testing:
• Measures load, load rate, crosshead position, position rate, strain and
strain rate
• Plots load, position or strain in real time
• Executes multi-segment load, position, and strain control profiles
• Test results include date, time, specimen ID#, specimen area and length,
plus all calculated test parameters
• Calculates key test parameters including ultimate load/stress, (2) offset
yields, (2) EUL (Extension Under Load) measures, modulus of elasticity, elongation
at break, reduction of area and more
• Calculates high, low, mean and standard deviation for a group of tests.
Administration:
• Password protected at supervisory and operator levels
• Supports English, metric and system international (SI) units
• Calibrates up to six load cells and six extensometers
• Exceeds American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E4 and E83
accuracy requirements.
Communications & reports:
• Uses standard WinCom Plus data communications program to share XY data
and results with Windows-based spreadsheet and database programs
• Prints a single test report with stress versus strain curves and group
test reports on Hewlett-Packard compatible printers.
“The Precise Digital Controller packs the appropriate amount of data collection, control and reporting power at the testing machine while maintaining ease of use and the ability to centralize and analyze results over a network,” commented Richard Gedney, ADMET founder and president. “It is an affordable test control unit that exceeds industry calibration standards for retrofits and for new equipment.”
The Precise Digital Controller is available immediately. It is end-user
priced at $3,645 (manual machines) and $4,865 (servo-equipped machines) directly
from ADMET, as well as from ADMET representatives and calibrators. The Precise
Digital Controller is ideal for retrofits of testing machines from ATS, Baldwin,
INSTRON, MTS, Riehle, SATEC, Shimadzu, Tinius Olsen, United and others.
