Emperor™ software enables you to;

 

  • Build your own test program
  • Gain accurate test data
  • Evaluate results in-depth
  • Create test reports

 

Vortex-i systems are used in conjunction with our comprehensive range of intelligent torque loadcells (ITC), which provide automatic recognition of I.D. and calibration data and are easily interchangeable to suit the load you wish to measure. Excellent resolution and outstanding accuracy come as standard.
 

 

Increase Test Productivity with our Automated Test Systems

If you require test automation we have a solution for you. Designed to eliminate operator error, improve test consistency and reduce costs in time and labour, our torque test systems are combined with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and customised material handling equipment to create automated test systems tailored to suit your specific test application.

 

Emperor Software


Emperor's flexible programming structure gives you the freedom to design and customise tests to suit your specific requirements.
With almost limitless capabilities, you can trust this software will provide detailed information about your tests, enabling you to evaluate your products performance throughout its life-cycle.

 

Build Program

 

  • Design and tailor your test
  • Intuitive, easy-to-learn user interface
  • Toolbars simplify test management
  • Create pass/fail criteria
  • Automatically detects parameters e.g. peak load, average load, etc
  • Contains a library of typical test procedures e.g. Run to torque, angle, break or time

 

View Test Data

 

  • See the test data appear 'live' in graphical format
  • Customise views to suit how you wish to see the data
  • Test replay facility to help identify critical points
  • Simple print function provides an instant record
  • Comprehensive Help system only a click away

 

Evaluate Test Data

 

  • User-definable calculations
  • Colour-coded results for easy pass/fail analysis
  • Highlight and note points of interest
  • Use the zoom tool to precisely pinpoint important areas
  • Archive and export data to your own software (e.g. Excel®, SPC package, etc)

 

Generate Test Report
