Page 2: Start-Up Procedure
Introduction To The VersaTest The VersaTest is a single column ballscrew-driven test frame with a load rating of up to 2500N. It must not be used with load ratings above 2500N. Complemented by a Mecmesin loadcell or force gauge (as illustrated in the photograph), together with special fixtures and accessories, it constitutes a key component in force measurement systems suitable for accurately and reproduceably testing a wide range of products. -
Page 3: Manual Operation
Force Gauges, Loadcells and your Fixturing You will need to attach a force measuring device to your VersaTest; this will usually be an Advanced Force Gauge or an S-beam loadcell. Attach an AFG by screwing a dovetail extension bracket to the back of the AFG, slide it (with the loadcell stud pointing downwards) onto the moving crosshead dovetail ( C ), and tighten with the Allen key provided. - Page 4 Communicating with External Devices Fig 2 There are two external control ports at the rear of the VersaTest. The Display Unit interface (b, in Fig.2) enables the VersaTest to respond, via the appropriate Mecmesin cable, to signals from an AFG. Please refer to ON/OFF your AFG Operating Manual for further details.
