LINE DESCRIPTION QTY.

1 MTS FlexTest 40 Controller

The MTS FlexTest 40 Controller is a reliable, versatile and easy-to-use servocontroller. It provides real-time closed-loop control, with transducer conditioning and function generation to drive various types of servo-actuators, and supports a wide array of configurations including: axial and axial/torsional load units, uniaxial and multiaxial test systems, structural test actuators and electrodynamic systems. These controllers are easily re-configurable and provide the ability to re-assign hardware allocation without having to move things around in the chassis. Also, the processors are field-upgradeable, making it simple to add capacity when necessary.

• Digital Universal Conditioners (DUCs) accommodate a wide range of transducers, including AC and DC devices

• Broad array of conditioning modules provides increased flexibility

• Modular hardware design allows for more flexible management of control resources

• Optional compensation techniques optimize control, even for challenging tests and difficult specimens

• Excitation sensing verifies proper voltage to the transducer, regardless of cable length

• Excitation loss detection minimizes the chance for errors in the event of cable breaks

• Includes MTS Series 793.00 Control Software

• Includes dual analog output adapter cable

• Product Manual(s): 100187204, 100147130, 100162928, 100147132
