Set Travel Distance:

For the travel distance, both the upper and the lower limit can be set individually. When the slide reaches the limit, the motor stops directly.

Establish Connection with a Force Gauge:

To establish a connection with a force gauge of the PCE-PGF series, use the pulse cable included in the delivery. As soon as a pulse is sent from the force gauge, the force test stand stops. All settings for this can be found in the PCE-PFG series manual.
