Clamping force tester checks spot welds in-process
A clamping force tester can be integrated with electrode cap machining and weld current checking to monitor spot welding equipment performance and maintenance.
Compact torque sensors suit many applications
Piezoelectric reaction torque sensors, having high sensitivity, extremely rigid construction and compactness, can be adapted very easily and flexibly to suit a wide variety of installations.
The gold plating resists attack by process media with high concentrations of corrosive gases, including hydrogen, hydrogen sulphide, ethylene and chloride.
This sensor is characterized by excellent process capability and long service life.
For example, the K-line pressure transmitter can be used to monitor the safety of cylinder compressors for corrosive media in the process industry continuously, reliably and precisely over long periods of time.
By quickly detecting defects, process monitoring minimises downtime and maintenance costs and maintains product quality in complex processes.
The process connections and signal outputs of the K-line pressure transmitter can be customised to meet specific customer requirements.
