The new controller allows customers to have a simple, stand-alone version of the instrument and save the cost of a personal computer. Using a touch screen tablet that is connected to a built-in bluetooth system, technicians can run basic test functions with the touch of their fingertips.
This option was developed as a quick and easy testing machine equipped to run tests. The other goal was to provide an option for materials testing that required minimal operator training. Customers can still opt to add MAP-4 software and connect to a computer to enhance the data analysis capabilities and user controls.
Two screen size options are available to customers—7 in. and 10 in. The EJA Vantage would be equipped with a touch screen mounted to the side panel of the machine. As noted above, the built-in tests available include tensile, peel, compression, and COF, with parameters that can be easily modified and saved.
This new system will automatically recognize what load cell is connected without any adjustments needed. The touch screen controller operates using bluetooth communication and can be easily connected to a network printer to print out reports generated from the testing results.
More information about the new system is available online.
