Portable Servo Controller

Position and Force Control of a Single Servo-Axis

Suitable for test lab work such as constant strain or stress rate testing, sinusoidal or sawtooth cyclic testing, or following an external signal.

Operator Interfacing

6″ Touch Screen providing simple configuration, calibration, monitoring and test control.

4 easy steps to run a test :-

  1. Actuator Setup
  2. Manual control
  3. Test Setup
  4. Test Control
