Vertical Motorized Test Stand with 5-mode operation selection and custom programmable test settings. Data transfer to PC software of force vs. distance with graphing.

• User-friendly controls and software allow hands-free operation, reduces training time, user errors, and speeds up tests
• Wide speed range means only one stand required for a majority of testing needs
• Easy install force gauge bracket allows for multiple test ranges to be quickly used on one stand
• Software provides graphing analysis of one or several tests; data can be stored for later analysis
• Comparator function provides instant pass/fail result, allowing use on production lines

The FGS-VC Series Motorized Force Test Stands are designed to provide accurate and repeatable results for tension, compression, break, and cycle performance tests in various applications

The simple keypad, combined with intuitive on-screen operation, guides the user through each test set up. Users can perform standard tests in several automatic or manually selected modes, as well as choosing higher-end capabilities with the additional dwell time, adjustable acceleration, plus user-defined tests with up to 5 programmed set points. Combining with FGE or FGV force gauges with the stand, overload limit communication is achieved, eliminating potential to damage the gauge accidentally during a test.

The FGS-VC’s are flexible and can be operated by the keypad or through a PC via the software, which includes data collection, graphing, and statistical analysis. The software program allows graphing of force versus distance and the ability to compare several tests on a single graph. Another great feature of the FGT-VC is the comparator mode, which enables quick decision pass /fail determination, ideal for production line testing.

The FGS-VC’s can be equipped with various gripping and compression fixtures and are compatible with all SHIMPO Force Gauges as well as most gauges on the market. These features make the new FGS-VC the ideal push/pull tester for the production line or QC lab.
