MTS Model 718.02, Cap. 3-D Profiling, 4-Axes, Screw Drive, Motion Architect
Stock number: 28607
Job No. 317.80


OVERVIEW:
This System is Developed to Collect and Plot 3-Dimensional Data about a Sample. The Sample is Mounted on the Table that is Allowed to Move as Directed Along the X, Y, and Z-Axes. Movement in Each Axis is Controlled by a Linear Encoder and a Screw Drive Motor. Each Screw Drive has an Optical Limit Switch, Which Prevents the Table from Driving to The End Stops, and a Home Limit Switch which Defines the Home Position for the Table. The Table is Directed to Move Along the X-Axis a Distance Defined as the Width of the Sample Area. A Stylus Mounted on an Extensometer Rides the Contour of the Sample as the Table Moves along the X-Axis. Changes in the Sample Contour cause Changes in the Extensometer Output. When the Profile is Complete the
Table Lowers a Specified Displacement Clearance to Allow the Stylus to Clear the Sample, then Moves Across the Sample along the X-Axis and Steps the Table a Specified Increment along the Y-Axis for the next Profile. As the Stylus Follows the Contour, the Contour Changes are Plotted on the Monitor and each Data Point is Stored in the Data File. The Operator Uses Capture to Define the Sample Area and Starting Point, as well as the Number of Data Points Collected for each Profile and the Step Increment Between Profiles. The Collected and Saved Data can then be used to Compare with Another Profile Run. The Collected Data can be Analyzed Using the Ansur Application, or it can be Converted for use with Spreadsheet Applications, such as Excel.
