Mechanical Framework and Design
The main frame features a single-arm structure, consisting of a base, three columns, and a screw. Its transmission loading system uses an AC servo motor with a synchronous cog belt speed reducer, which drives a high-precision ball screw to control the moving crosshead for accurate loading. This design ensures a modern appearance, excellent stability, high rigidity, precise control, efficient performance, low noise operation, and energy-saving, eco-friendly benefits.
Control and Measurement System
This machine uses the advanced DSC-10TT full-digital closed-loop control system for precise measurement and control. A computer manages the testing process, dynamically displaying curves and processing data. After testing, users can zoom in on the curve for reanalysis and data editing using the figure processing module. Its performance meets top international standards.

Key Benefits of the Control and Measurement System
-
Next-Generation Digital Control
The DSC-10TT full digital closed-loop control system is a newly developed, advanced control system designed for testing machines. It features state-of-the-art servo motor control chips and a multi-channel data acquisition and processing module, ensuring high-speed, precise control and consistent sampling. The system primarily relies on hardware modules to enhance stability and reliability. -
High-Efficiency Professional Control Platform
DSC-TT integrates DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and MCU (Microcontroller Unit), combining DSP’s high-speed computing capabilities with MCU’s powerful I/O control. This hybrid architecture outperforms single DSP or 32-bit microcontroller systems. The system includes essential motor control modules, such as PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) and QEI (Quadrature Encoder Interface), ensuring reliable, stable operation. -
Parallel Sampling for Enhanced Accuracy
A key innovation in DSC-10TT is its parallel sampling mode, made possible by a specialized ASIC chip. This technology enables synchronous signal sampling across all load cells, preventing asynchronous issues in load and deformation measurements, which were common in previous-generation systems. -
Advanced Position Pulse Filtering
The optical encoder position capture module utilizes a dedicated hardware module with a built-in 24-stage filter to refine pulse signals. This prevents miscounting due to signal interference, ensuring high position accuracy and stable performance of the pulse capture system. -
Optimized Control Execution
The DSC-10TT system offloads sampling, condition monitoring, and communication to specialized ASIC chips, allowing the main processor to focus on PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) control calculations. This architecture enhances system reliability, accelerates response time, and enables precise, real-time closed-loop control at the system’s core level.
Performance Characteristics of DSC-10TT
The user interface is designed for Windows systems, offering real-time curve display and processing with a graphical, intuitive layout. The software features a modular structure, ensuring flexibility and ease of use. Data storage and processing are managed through an MS-ACCESS database, allowing seamless integration with Microsoft Office applications for efficient data management and reporting.
-
User Access Management
The system supports role-based access control, granting users specific operational permissions upon login. The super administrator holds full control, managing user access and assigning different modules based on roles. -
Comprehensive Testing Management
Users can freely configure testing parameters and create custom test programs based on specific standards. The system ensures compliance with selected standards, displays real-time equipment status (e.g., operating state, program steps, and extensometer switching), and generates standard-compliant test reports. -
Powerful Curve Analysis
The system supports various curve types (e.g., load-deformation, load-time) with real-time display. Users can compare curves within the same test group using different colors, zoom in on specific sections for analysis, label key feature points, and choose points manually or automatically for comparison. Labeled curves can be printed in test reports. -
Automatic Data Storage & Retrieval
Test data is automatically saved to prevent loss from unexpected incidents. The system enables fuzzy search for quick data retrieval and redisplays test results based on conditions. It also allows users to combine and analyze data from multiple test sessions and supports data backup for added security. -
MS-ACCESS Database Integration & Expandability
Built on an MS-ACCESS database, the DSC-10TT software seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Office, enabling test reports to be saved in Word or Excel formats. The database structure allows users to access and analyze raw data for material research, maximizing the utility of test measurements. -
Automatic Test Result Calculation
When an extensometer is added, the system automatically calculates key parameters such as ReH, ReL, Rp0.2, Fm, Rt0.5, Rt0.6, Rt0.65, Rt0.7, Rm, E, and others. Users can freely configure parameters and generate corresponding graphical outputs. -
Automated Extensometer Removal Notification
The software automatically detects yield completion and switches from deformation to displacement collection. A notification alerts users that "deformation switch is complete, extensometer can be removed." -
Automatic Return Function
After testing, the moving crosshead automatically returns to its initial position for efficiency and ease of use. -
