Compression cell
Robust mechanical construction. Force measurement by precision load-cell. Sample is compressed by solid metal platen, supported by high-accuracy ball screws. Vertical position of platen constantly monitored by a sensitive electronic device.
Stepper motor drive
The compression cell platen is driven by a powerful stepper motor, which can exert a compressive force greater than 40 kg.
Control electronics
The electronic circuits provide the input to control the stepper motor drive and handle the output information from load cell and platen position device.
Simple communication with your PC computer through a high-speed USB interface. This connects directly to your PC computer using a standard USB cable.
