New Touch PC - Materials Testing in Comfort

Zwick has developed Touch PC, designed to make materials-testing machines even easier and more efficient to operate. Mounted directly on materials-testing machine, the Touch PC combines touch-screen with embedded industrial computer. Unit can be rotated, swiveled, tilted, raised, and lowered to keep status display with force, travel, and machine status in operator's field of vision. Along with intuitive use of testXpert software, solution offers short paths between PC and specimen, Runtime and Designtime operating modes, as well as USB port and connection for external keyboard or mouse. The FaststartXP program supplied with the package allows the operator to choose one of two modes: Runtime or Designtime. With Runtime the operating system is in read only/write protected mode and thus cannot be altered by the user - important for shared workstations. Data from the testXpert II may still be saved via a USB stick, network or extra partition. In Designtime mode the system can be used without restrictions.
