MTD-3 Mechanical Testing Device

Available for passive and active marker systems, this is an inexpensive and vital tool for any lab that performs 3D and force measurements. The new MDT-3 (Mechanical Testing Device) is a precision-machined tool that can be assembled in less than a minute to create a force plate test object suitable for a number of 3D biomechanics laboratory tests and supports the addition (optional) of a standard load cell at the lower end.  It allows the user to apply a pure force vector to a force plate within the Motion Capture environment, determine the alignment of the force plate within the calibrated 3D measurement space and optionally measure the applied force. The MTD-3 is comprised of the following items supplied in a plastic storage case: Five wands Five retro-reflective markers (for passive systems). Five mounting disks (for active marker systems). Calibration testing rod with a 3/8-16 NC threaded conical tip and US 3/8-24 thread dummy load cell with matching lower conical tip. Test plate
