Mecmesin Emperor tension and compression testing software

Mecmesin Emperor software for tension and compression testing has been designed for use in quality control laboratories where the mechanical properties of manufactured products need to be assessed on a routine basis.

The software controls MultiTest-i test stands and users can create test programs via computer. Intelligent loadcells mounted on the MultiTest-i test frame download test data synchronously at a rate of up to 2000 times/s, directly to a PC via the serial port, ensuring high accuracy of testing particularly where peak loads are being recorded.

There are two modules within the software: the force gauge emulator, a virtual instrument console which enables specimens to be tested at fixed speed - the maximum tensile and compressive loads sustained are displayed, and a simple test report is printed. The emulator is entirely mouse driven, thus eliminating the need for a keyboard to be located in the test area. The programmed testing module enables control and analysis procedures to be developed via Emperor’s Windows interface. Test data can be graphically interrogated, replayed, assessed against pass/fail criteria, compiled into batch reports, and exported to other software.
