The QC-3A upholds the standards of theQC line while adding the functionality of aRS-232 interface, a digital load controllerand enhanced software.

Ideal for tensile, compression, coefficient offriction and peel analysis, the QC-3A isan extremely flexible, cost-effective testingsystem. The single-screw frame providesup to 1100 lbs (5 kN/500kg) tensile forcewith extremely accurate control throughout theentire load range. The digital load controllerensures extremely accurate, reliable test data.

Computer Interface

The QC-3A has a serial port thatenables test data to be automaticallydownloaded to a PC for databasing andgraphing purposes.

Powerful Software

The software maintains the functionalityof previous version with severalenhancements. The software allows youto set distance and load traps when testingin the tensile or compression modes.Other advantages include the ability topre-load a sample and set dual speeds,one for pre-test and one for test.

Features:

Menu-driven software

RS-232 PC interface

Distance & Load traps

Digital load controller

Fixed and variable crosshead speeds

Pretest speed to selectable force

Load cell unit conversions

Statistical analysis

Grips and Fixtures

Your QC tester will accomplish a wide range oftests when fitted with optional grips and fixtures.Specialized grips enable you to test paper, plastics,textiles, fibers and foils. Fixtures permit compression,flexural rigidity, peel, friction and other tests.

Load Cells

A wide range of precision load cell are availablefor compression and tensile testing needs.Capacities include: 0 - 2000 gm (19.57 N /4.4 lbs), 0 - 5000 gm (49 N / 11 lbs), 0 - 10kg (98 N / 22 lbs), 0 - 20 kg (195 N / 44 lbs),0-50 kg (489 N / 110 lbs), 0 - 100 kg (978 N /220 lbs), 0-200 kg (1957 N / 440 lbs), 0-500 kg(4901 N / 1102 lbs)
