The TCD-200 becomes a self-contained tester when equipped with a Chatillon DFS, DFS-R, DFS-R-ND, DFA, DFIS or DFGS digital gauge. The standard bi-directional RS232 interface permits peripheral control of all keypad functions of the Chatillon DFS, DFS-R, DFS-R-ND, DFA, DFIS or DFGS digital gauges.  Both force and deflection data may be transmitted or requested through the test stand interface.  Analog outputs are also provided for graphing.

The rugged all-metal construction offers durability for both laboratory and production floor applications.  The ball screw drive with dual column alignment ensures precise linear motion as well as a high level of accuracy in the deflection measurement.  Dynamic braking provides positive control of the motor.

Programming of test speed, high and low digital deflection set points and cycling as well as basic functions are activated via the keypad. "Min speed" and "max speed" functions are also included in order to facilitate test set up.

Two 1/2" high LCD's display the speed and deflection values along with status indicators of the programmed functions and units of measurement (inches or millimeters).  This provides the operator a quick easy to read reference of not only test values but test parameters as well.  If a Chatillon DFS, DFS-R, DFS-R-ND, DFA, DFIS or DFGS digital force gauge is used and interfaced with the stand electronics via the proper cable, the word "gauge" is displayed to indicate this connection.

When using a Chatillon DFGS digital force gauge as the force indicator, the gauge's force set points may be programmed to signal the test stand motor to stop or cycle between the set points.  This provides even further automation in product testing.
