Imada MX-275 motorized test stands offer advanced force testing. The combination of screw drive system and state-of-the-art brushless motor provides extremely smooth and powerful operation over the entire speed range.

Connect the Imada MX-275 test stand with an Imada Z Series force gauge and enable force controlled testing. Digital distance meter included with MX-275S model.

High/Low Set Point Force Control

Force control is activated when the applied force is at or between the high and low set point(s) of the Z Series force gauge and is deactivated by the digital timer. Initial carriage speed is controlled by the variable or fixed speed settings.

One Way Force Control

Initial carriage speed is controlled by the variable or fixed speed settings. When the applied force reaches the low set point of the Z Series force gauge, the test stand’s carriage speed is adjusted to 20% of maximum and decreases to zero as the applied force reaches the high set point. Ideal for non-destructive testing.

Speed control, quick switch and emergency stop are standard features. The MX-275 accepts any of the standard range Imada force gauges.

AP-002 Adapter Plate is available to mount most other force gauges to IMADA test stands.

Note: Force control can be done with the MX series of stands.

• For force control, you will require an Imada Z-series force gauge plus a CB-501 cable to connect the MX stand to the force gauge
• For force control with data acquisition, you will require an Imada Z-series force gauge plus a CB-504 Y cable to connect the MX stand to the force gauge and the computer, plus SW1 data aquisition software
  • SW1-XV Software Package - requires Windows Vista and MS Excel 5+
