Mach-1 Motion

SW326 v4.4.0.15

A software to control the mechanical tester and acquire mechanical data

SKU: SW326 v4.4.0.15 Categories: ,

Mach-1 Motion software allows for controlled displacement of the motorized stage(s) of the mechanical tester as well as simultaneous recording of the load cell and other sensor signals. Stage motion can either be controlled by manual jogging or set to an automatic function defined by the user. The stages are commanded to compress, stretch or bend the test sample while the load cell measures the forces generated by the sample due to this deformation. This software is included with each mechanical tester MA001, MA003, MA005, MA006, MA008 and MA009.

  • User-friendly software for effective data collection and simplified analysis
  • Complemented by a team of scientific experts to assist with tester configuration options, protocol preparations, and customized accessory designs.
  • Data can also be imported into third-party software for further analysis
  • No PID adjustment required to account for material properties
  • Lifetime free software upgrades

FAQ

Can the Mach-1 perform load control?
The Mach-1 is a displacement controlled type system. Most Mach-1 Motion functions are set up by indicating a required displacement profile for a specific stage. However, two functions works in load control. The Creep function moves a stage until a predefined load variation is reached and maintains this loading through real-time closed-loop PID adjustment of the stage position. This function can be used, for example, to study the deformation of a sample under constant loading. The second function, the Find Contact function, moves a stage until a predefined load variation (stop criteria) is measured by the load cell. This function can be used, for example, to detect the exact location of a sample surface or the bottom of a testing chamber, or to place an indenter in contact with a sample using a predefined load.
An alternate way to perform functions under quasi-load control is to apply a specific displacement profile known to generate a required load profile (assuming that the material is not subjected to creep).
