The modular actuator provides a controlled active test stroke of 6 or 12 inches (optional). Dual Column frame Frames may be separated from electronics Horizontal frame

3 Q Controller Consists of intelligent motherboard, firmware, signal conditioners and enclosure. The Q Controller is an intelligent 16 bit controller that controls and measures machine and test data in electromechanical test systems. The unit features preset software with display and keypad input that is easy to use and includes load cell signal conditioning, machine output, data acquisition and data storage. Test results are printed, stored or exported to a PC. High resolution Capable of standalone operation - without PC Easy to use Customizable Export test results to PC for presentation and analysis. General Attributes Model PC requirements Operator Interface Machine Controls Data Display Display Resolution Specification Q Controller PC not required ; Data may be exported to Pentium PC with serial port ; MS Windows 98 or later Keypad Input firmware described below Emergency Stop Jog Up and Jog Down Stop Test Button Liquid Crystal Display test parameters that can be displayed include Live Load or Stress Load/Width Peak Load or Stress Average Load or Stress Live Position Test Speed Displacement at Break Printer and display resolution (inch and LB units shown) Peak and Live Load: LB Live Position: IN Live Speed: IPM Selectable Units Load -- Pounds, Newtons, kilograms, grams Position - Inches, mm, cm Stress - Psi, MPa, KPa, ksc

4 Sample Area Inputs Round Flat Area Channels Channels LOAD - Strain gage signal conditioner and data acquisition included for system load cell POSITION - Controller converts output of encoder to position STRAIN - Extensometer or 2 nd load cell signal conditioner and data acquisition optional Control Adjustable PID tuning for accurate control on wide range of sample stiffness. Control Modes SPEED - Controller controls motor speed to operator settings POSITION - system ramps to a position and stops. LOAD - system ramps to a load and holds for (adjustable) time. Returns home at completion. Load Limits & Break Detect Adjustable software load limit and Sample Break detect Data Capture Raw Data Raw Data Acquisition Rate Data Display Rates Peak load ; Average load ; Displacement at break; Energy at break Captures and stores load, position and time data. Strain data - optional hz raw speed at 16 bit data is oversampled and averaged to improve accuracy & resolution From 30 per second to 36 per hour. Note: Optional firmware that captures data to 500 Hz available. Data Storage Test Setups Save / recall 6 test procedures. Supervisor may create, store and password protect 6 tests each with individual load ranges, speed settings and data capture conditions. Load Ranges Save and recall up to 6 user definable load calibration ranges. Includes piecewise linear fit (10 variables) to linearize load cell outputs (if needed). XY Data (Curve) Up to 200 individual test records stored for each test procedure (6 available). Each test record includes date, time, sample number, peak load, average load or displacement at break and statistical summary of data set. Option individual test records stored for single test procedure. Capture / store 8000 load and displacement data for individual tests. Capture single test - buffer is erased test to test. Strain channel optional. Data Transfer Printer ASCII Data Buffer Contents Output is compatible with HP PCL5 Printers (DeskJet and LaserJet) XY Data or machine settings may be transferred in real time to RS232 serial port for use by 3 rd party programs such as Hyperterminal, SPC programs or Winwedge. Multiple and XY Data stored in buffer may be exported using optional Wincom program to popular programs (Excel, Lotus, etc) on PC. User Programmable Speed Settings Test Direction Data Transfer Test, Jog, and Return Home speeds are programmable. Tension or Compression Operator may automatically store or transmit data to PC; Sample ID may be auto-incremented.

5 Q Software Products Options consist of Wincom, Wincom Plus, Upgrades to R Series Export test data to PC Graphical plotting of load displacement curves Automatically archive raw test data for further analysis Winwedge & Hyperterminal (common 3 rd party serial port programs) exports ASCII data Wincom Data Conversion & Transfer OS Compatibility Cable Wincom PLUS Data Conversion & Transfer OS Compatibility Cable XY Plotting (Curve) Batch Plots Unattended Operation Report Generation R Controller Upgrade Optional - Windows based program that converts captured binary data in Q Controller buffer such as XY Data (Curve) and Multiple to ASCII data for exportation to PC analysis programs such as MS Excel. This software program is required to export contents of buffer. WIN95, 98, 2000, NT and XP. Standard Serial Port cable length 8 feet ; 100 feet cable optional. Optional Same as Wincom - Windows based program that converts captured binary data in Q Controller buffer such as XY Data (Curve) and Multiple to ASCII data for exportation to PC analysis programs such as MS Excel. This software program is required to export contents of buffer. Same as Wincom. Standard Serial Port cable length 8 feet; 100 feet cable optional. Plots single test XY curves graphically (e.g. load vs displacement or load vs time) Plots multiple test results for comparative purposes. Enables data offset. Presents captured test results such as peak load, displacement at break and others. Automatically names and saves test files as they are produced for later recall and analysis. Generates reports Optional - Q Controllers may be upgraded to R Series PC Controlled systems. The R Series includes additional software features.
