Bundled software packages offer convenience. Optional functions include, distance measurement and limits, speed extension, break detection, load holding, and cycling. Software can be added at any time and easily upgraded in the field.

Cycling: Set up to 100,000 cycles, with user-defined upper and lower dwell times. Cycle between any combination of limit switches, travel limits, and load limits.

Break detection: Stop when a user-defined drop in force occurs.

Load holding: Stop at, and maintain, a user-defined load for a specified period of time. For best performance, use a force sensor with a capacity as close as possible to the target load.

FollowMe®: Push and pull on the sensor’s loading shaft to move the crosshead up and down, ideal for manual positioning prior to a test. Speed increases with applied force.
