Welding electrode force gauge head swivels

Huntingdon Fusion Techniques has introduced its Swivel Head Force Gauge, designed for measuring the force between electrodes in resistance welders.

Huntingdon Fusion Techniques has introduced its Swivel Head Force Gauge, designed for measuring the force between electrodes in resistance welders, used in a wide range of manufacturing industries.

The instrument combines the features of previous fixed and swivel head models at a more attractive price whilst retaining the rugged construction and ease of use necessary for a tool of this kind.

The gauge measures force from 0 1000 kg switchable between kg, N, and lb and the swivelling and rotating head assembly allows easy access to weld electrode configurations.

The tough hand tool weighs only 1085gm and incorprates a safety device to prevent operator injury in the event of electrodes being misaligned.

The force gauge is said to be accurate to 0.2 % of reading, giving a possible error of 2kg at full scale.

It also has an automatic peak hold facility thus enabling the reading to be retrieved if the large LCD screen were not visible to the operator at the time the test was made.

Other features include a facility for the operator to zero the gauge, replaceable insulated target pads, rechargeable battery with charger and rugged carrying case.

A calibration certificate is supplied with each instrument.
