Momentary Mode
The crosshead will move only while selecting and holding down the Up or Down button. To set
the speed, type the value into the box or drag the slider to the desired value, as shown below:
Maintained Mode
The crosshead will move continuously after selecting the Up or Down button. Set the speed in
the same manner as Momentary Mode.
FollowMe
®
Mode
The crosshead responds to pushing or pulling on the force sensor’s load cell shaft by hand.
Increasing force produces greater speeds.
Exercise extreme caution when using FollowMe
®
with low-capacity force
sensors, as overload can more easily occur.
If no load is detected for 5 seconds after selecting FollowMe
®
, the function deactivates.
7.3 Height / Length Offset
When measuring sample heights, for example in spring testing, a datum (base reference) must be
established. This function allows you to establish the datum at a preload. To configure the settings, select
Settings. The screen appears as follows:
Configure the Touch Load and Touch Speed, as desired. In many applications, a flat compression plate
is used to engage the top of the sample, for example, in compression spring testing. However, when a
grip with more complex geometry is used, and it is not possible to touch the sample contact surface to the
test frame base or the lower fixture, an Offset Distance may be specified. If specified, IntelliMESUR
automatically increases the displayed distance value by this value when the preload occurs.
When finished, select OK, then select Enable in the Manual Control screen. The button will be
highlighted. Then select Up or Down to perform the function. After the preload has been reached, the
crosshead will reverse until the Return Distance From Touch is reached.
