Adds a horizontal stage (X axis) to a tester already equipped with a vertical stage (Z axis). This additional stage will allow horizontal displacement over 100 mm with a 0.5 um minimal displacement resolution. This upgrade allows the possibility of a motorized control of the horizontal position of the sample under the vertical axis which is necessary, for example, to perform automated 2D profilometry and compressive testing along a line of horizontal positions. It should be noted that, since the resulting tester configuration will not be equipped with an electronic configuration for a multiaxis load cell, it will be compatible with single axis load cells only and shear testing will not be possible. Refer to MA013 for a similar upgrade which includes a multiaxial electronic configuration for the load cell. It is not necessary to ship back the whole original tester to Biomomentum. New parts will be shipped and a remote installation will be scheduled.
