□ Features Common to Our treadmills
Easy Grip Running Surface
- Treadmill belts are constructed of PVC on a nylon weave and provide an easily gripped and cleaned running surface.
- The nylon backing provides a durable belt that does not exhibit stretching and does not require constant adjustment.
- Belts are woven with a splice that diagonally crosses the running surface to elminate animal hurdling and provide smooth operation.
High Torque Motor with Speed Control
- Treadmills incorporate motors that develop high torque.
- High torque insures smooth operation at low speed.
- Consistant tread speed is maintained by a velocity feedback mechanism that compares actual tread speed with the requested setpoint.
- The controller makes continuous, automatic, adjustments as needed to maintain the requested speed.
Pulsed Electrical Excitation
- The option to present a mild electric shock, for the purpose of promoting running, is available on all models.
- Stimulus current is user adjustable and delivered from a regulated (constant current) source.
- Regulation of the delivered current assures consistant stimulus perfomance
under variable subject impedence.
- Columbus Instruments treadmills present a pulsed stimulus (200ms burst at a user
adjustable rate).
- Pulsed stimulus presentation provides an opportunity for the animal to return to the tread surface and eliminates concerns of “freezing” the animal to the
stimulus grid.
Sensory Awareness to Location on Tread
- Proximety to the stimulus is often the only notification required by the animal to promote running.
- Treadmills are all manufactured with the stimulus (platform) location being lower than that of the tread surface.
- Approaching the stimulus requires the animal’s hind limb to extend over the edge of the rear roller.
- The sense of ‘stepping off’ the tread surface gives the animal an indication of proximety to the stimulus.
- Animals will often advance their position on the tread in response to this sensation thereby avoiding undue stimulus exposure.
Ease of Cleaning
- Treadmills are easily cleaned.
- A tray for the collection of feces and urine.
- Designed with removable end caps that allows washing debris throughout the entire length of the assembly.
- Fitted, abosorbant, pads may also be employed that can be removed at the end of each run to facilitate cleaning.
