Shear Stand

• Rugged construction, capable of withstanding the abuse of the production environment
• Two component design allows the switch unit to be separated from the timer control box
• High temperature, 8' long (2.5m) cable interfaces the two components
• Designed to use standard, 2" x 3" (50mm x 75mm) format, test panels
• Capable of holding panels of various thicknesses, up to 1/4" (6mm)
• Mechanical switches can be calibrated to trip when using weights from 100 to 1,000 grams
• Adjustable feet allow the user to level the testing plane
• Panel rack is marked for the standard 178° back tilt, as specified by most shear test methods
• Adjustable angle panel rack allows the user to easily change the test angle from 178° to 90°
• Shear stand operating temperature range 20° - 400° F (-6° - 204° C)
• Shears are designed to be used with weights from 100gr to 1000gr
• Any weight which is larger than the 1000gr requires the S-EXT(Shear Extension) accessory
• The largest weight that can be safely used with the shear stand is 3000gr

Timer Box

• Compact and easy to use
• Easy-to-read, 0.5" (1 cm) LCD timer display is set to time in increments of 1/10 of a minute
• Timer box operating temperature range 32° - 150° F (0° - 70° C)
• Timer box has universal input voltage from 85-265 VAC (50/60 Hz)
• Optional thermocouple accessory records failure temperature

Oven

• 4 segment programmable controller, capable of performing SAFT ramped temperature testing
• Maximum oven operating temperature of 500°F (260°C)
• Temperature control accuracy of oven ± 0.5°F at 410°F (1°C at 210°C)
• Temperature distribution accuracy of oven ± 1.5°F at 500°F (2.8°C at 260°C)
• Oven is capable of achieving a temperature rise of 2°F (1°C) per minute (dependent on thermal mass)
• The switch unit of the 30 Bank Shear fills approximately 50% of the interior volume in the oven
• Stainless steel interior construction of the oven
• Forced-air circulation type oven (convection)
• Vent hole in rear of oven for accessory access
• Easy-open oven door latch minimizes disruption of testing
• Over-temperature protection and other safety features designed into oven electronics
• RS-232 serial interface to controller, includes programming and data-logging software
• 4,000 watt heating capacity
• Standard oven input voltage - 400 VAC, 3-Phase, (50/60 Hz)
