Multi-component force measurement places high demands on the measuring device. The characteristics of the force vector to be measured largely determine the result. The size and direction of the force application point, as well as the dynamics, should have as little effect as possible on the process.
With the new Kistler Type 9327, 9347, 9367 and 9377 sensors, our company's established experience and know-how is now available even for multi-component force measurements carried out by the customer. The precisely preloaded measuring elements are easy to fit and, as they come ready calibrated from the factory, they can be used immediately for multi-component force measurements.

The shockproof digital load cell is based on a capacitive measurement principle where a non-contacting ceramic sensor is mounted inside the load cell body. As the load cell contains no moving parts and the sensor is not in contact with the load cell body, the load cell tolerates shocks, torsion, and very high overloads and sideloads. Therefore, the mechanical installation of the load cell can be done without expensive and complicated mounting kits and overload protection devices.
The electrical installation of the digital load cell is pure plug-and-play as the signal from the non-contacting sensor is directly converted, compensated and calibrated by a microprocessor to a digital load cell output in grams, kilograms, or Newton. Measurements and status codes are transmitted as RS485 data on a single wire coaxial cable (RG-58) which may be up to 100 meters long.
The technology and mechanical design of the Eilersen load cells is covered worldwide by a number of patents.

FemtoTools sensors are highly precise and highly productive force sensing tools, which can measure forces down to nanonewton (10-9).
Conventional force sensors are usually based on strain gauges and can only measure forces down to milli-Newton (10-3). Our FT-S270 and FT-S540 are produced in a special manner, which is already successfully used in the IC industry, and allows to operate (work) in a unique (an unreached) force sensing range between the atomic force microscope (AFM) and conventional force sensors.
The individual calibration of the FT-S270 and the FT-S540 force sensors guarantees a high measurement accuracy and readout speed. A calibration data sheet is delivered for each individual sensor.

The forces which arise in industrial processes such a press-fit, punching or crimping often have implications for the quality of the final connection. Such forces can also be measured indirectly in terms of the strain occurring at the surface of the machine structure. This is often simpler than taking a direct force measurement, which requires the sensor to be built into the structure.
Kistler's new Type 9234A… strain transmitter with integral amplifier is fitted to the machine very simply by means of a single M6 screw. Thanks to its high sensitivity, accurate measurements are possible even with extremely rigid machine structures.
The robust transmitter is particularly suitable for use with presses and assembly line robots.

FUTEK Advanced Sensor Technologies Multi Axis Load Cell are designed to measure a multiple of forces and moments simultaneously with a single Load Cell.
Multi Axis Load Cells can accurately measure up to six components (3 forces and 3 moments) of load. For example, Independent strain gauge bridges are used to measure three directions of force: Longitude, Latitude, and Vertical, as well as, the moments about each force direction. Separate receptacles or cables are provided for each axis of measurement. A careful structural analysis has been done to isolate the forces and moments, which results in a reduction of cross-talk sensitivities.
All designs are one piece flexures, machined and gauged to give optimum output, stiffness and durability. For example, one of our more innovative designs, the Stick Shift/Gear Shift Knob Transducer offers a lightweight, robust feature comprised of Anodized Aluminum and weighing as little as 9 oz. Its special ergonomically designed cover contains anti-slip notches for proper handling coupled with less hand strain on the user.

The quality of spot welding depends on the force applied by the electrodes as well as on the intensity of the welding current. Within such a control program, the measurement of the force applied by the electrodes is extremely important for ensuring constant production.
That is why we have developed this equipment to measure the closing force of the grips that may be used during the final stage or during periodic maintenance. The end-pieces are interchangeable and can be used to measure force with various shapes of electrodes, the minimum closing dimension being 0.12 in.
This new instrument leverages the robustness, quality and precision of the Centor instrument family, which are specially designed for mobile use in a production workshop.

Testweld™ Hand Held Electronic Force Gauge
An ergonomically designed hand held force gauge.
ADVANTAGES
User comfort "'Ergonomically" designed - for ease of use
One piece unit
Very high accuracy
Swivel head allows access to difficult to reach positions
As with all welding procedures, it is important to eliminate as many variables as possible in order to achieve optimum welding consistently over long periods.
Electrode force is one of the critical parameters in obtaining repeatable, reliable resistance spot welds.
Force can vary because of variable factory air pressure, water in the air lines causing air cylinders to deteriorate and loss of air pressure due to worn seals.
This self contained instrument uses a cell with a force sensor to provide accurate digital read out for auditing weld electrode forces.
Accuracy of this instrument is better than 0.2% and can be switched to read 0-2000 kg, 0-20.00 kN or 0-4400lbs.
In cases of difficult access the head of the swivel head gauge can be swiveled at least ±72º up or down and rotates at least ±90º. Once the desired position is reached it can be fixed by a simple hand tightened knob. A 90 mm long handle is provided for optional use with 2 mountain positions either in-line or at 90º.
A support wrist strap is attached to the gauge so that in the event that it is forced out of the operators hand by misaligned electrodes, it need not fall to the floor and be damaged.

The additional force sensors are recognized by all the CENTOR Star and/or Dual force gauges and torque gauges, and they can complete a set of force/torque measurements at a very reasonable price.
The sensor characteristics are stored in the memory of an electronic circuit located inside the sensor connector.When the CENTOR Star or Dual instrument is switched on, the information is collected from the central memory and the instrument is automatically configured: it takes into account the type of sensor, its maximum capacity and its calibration data without the operator having to make any calibration adjustments.
