560LT Modular Torsional Fatigue Test System

LT Series Overview
LT Series systems are configured to requirements with our versatile
modular product line. Our high resolution 24 bit controller and test
software feature high speed PID control integrated with a T type
electromagnetic motor selected for torque and speed requirements. The
system is capable of static constant angular speed or torsion load rate
tests with a cyclic mode for repetitive sinusoidal or triangular waveforms
that can cycle between angular positions or torque load limits. Tests last
millions of cycles or until sample failure. The system requires 110V
(220V optional) electrical power.

Each system includes:

Tabletop or bench style frame with anti-thrust bearings.

Electrodynamic motor with position encoder.
Controller for angle and torque measurement and control
Torque Cell and encoder.
Test software to setup, run, save data, analysis and report
generation.

560LT custom configured to match application requirements.

Options

Linear slide for axial preload applications (free or clamped).

Test fixtures include Jacob chucks, collets, and grips.
Add Axial actuator (e.g. converts to Axial-Torsion machine)
Axial Torsional Biaxial Fatigue Test Systems (830 Series)

2370 Controller with Powerful Test Software

Our 2370 Controllers match lab testing scenarios where test requirements or operators change day to day and where flexibility and
ease of use are important. Test control, data acquisition, data plotting, data analysis, and test reporting tasks are performed
automatically. The intuitive software program is easy to set up and run tests, analyze results and share test data. The software is
easy to use for both infrequent and experienced users and delivers a fully integrated solution that includes the ability to assemble
and save your own test apps for different test setups. Create custom test control sequences and generate results from an
extensive calculations library. In addition, the enhanced graphs and reports module provides you with a powerful set of tools for
creating user-defined reports. You can either produce a comprehensive single test report with plots and custom headers or you
can run multiple tests and report their results with statistical summary of data.

Controller
Data is acquired at adjustable speeds to 1000 samples per
sec.
Three strain bridge signal conditioners for torque cells and
strain gages. Includes an auxiliary analog (10V) input
channel and angular position encoder.

Test Measurement and Control Software

Create standard or customized monotonic, cyclic and
segmented control profiles or a block profile to repeat an
assembly of ramp, hold, sinewave cyclic, hold, sawtooth
cyclic profiles. Execute tests in torque or angular position
control.
Live numeric read outs and stress-strain plots with l
analyses make it easy to create test reports. Large easyto-read numeric displays show live, peak and rate
readings.

Results may be displayed, stored, printed or exported to

other PC programs.
Create, save and recall test methods to ensure accurate
and repeatable testing when operators switch. Protect
different set up modes with a password as desired.
Produce single or multiple test reports. The multiple test
report stores a group of tests to the same file and
provides a statistical summary for each analysis
parameter. An XY plot with multiple XY curves overlaid on
the same set of graph axes is optional.
Produce hardcopy single test reports, group test reports
and load deflection or X-Y plots. Store test data and
results to hard disk in ASCII delimited format for easy
import into popular spreadsheet and database programs.
User-definable information and report header fields meet
reporting needs.
User selectable English, Metric and SI units.
