eP2 + GuageSafe
Materials Testing System For New, Used or Retrofit Applications!

Product Details

Simplicity, Repeatability, and Accuracy. A standalone presettable controller that simplifies materials and product testing.

The eP2 Digital Controller performs mechanical tests on materials, products and components. It is a presettable unit that operates both electromechanical and servo hydraulic testing systems. The eP2 can also be used to retrofit/upgrade virtually any manufactures testing machine regardless of age or machine type. It is a less expensive and easier to use alternative to PC based materials testing systems and is capable of performing tests in tension, compression, bend and torsion. The eP2 features load and crosshead position inputs plus enhanced closed loop servo control capabilities for accurate and repeatable testing. An optional axial strain input channel can be added for accommodating extensometry.

Combining the eP2 controller with the PC based GaugeSafe Data Exchange software makes it easy to create and store unlimited number of test methods; save, export and print test results including stress vs. strain curves; import results and XY data into common spreadsheet and database programs for further analysis and reporting.

Standard Features

  • Display load, position, axial strain (optional), and
    test rate during tests.
  • Display measured mechanical properties at test
    completion.
  • Calculate key mechanical properties such as ultimate
    strength, modulus, offset yield, percent elongation
    and more. Calculations are in accordance
    with ASTM and ISO testing standards.
  • Upload results and XY data via the GaugeSafe Data
    Exchange program to a Windows based PC for
    viewing and reporting.
  • Store up to six test methods internally. Access unlimited
    number of test methods through the Gauge
    Safe Data Exchange software.
  • Specify high and low limits for each mechanical
    property for pass/fail indication.
  • Protect from inadvertent test method changes
    through password only accessible supervisor/operator
    modes.
  • Select between English, Metric and SI engineering
    units.
  • Specify ramp to break, ramp to hold and cyclic sawtooth
    and squarewave closed-loop servo control
    profiles.
  • Perform load rate, position rate and strain rate
    controlled tests.
  • Calibrate load and axial strain channels in accordance
    with ASTM E4 and E83 standards, respectively.
    Load accuracy exceeds ASTM E4 standards
    down to 1/200th load cell capacity.
  • ADMET provides all calibration passwords for
    streamlining maintenance costs.
