Robust force gauges offer many features
Two force gauges feature robust cases, an invertible digital matrix display, analogue 'trend bar' indicating total load, fast data acquisition rates, dual peak facility and other developments.
Mecmesin, Europe's largest manufacture of force gauges, has launched two new ranges of instruments The Basic Force Gauge is a budget-priced instrument, whereas the Advanced Force Gauge (Mark III) takes over as Mecmesin's new flagship instrument - retaining the name upon which quality control laboratories within manufacturing industry worldwide have been able to rely for over a decade

Measure tensile and compressive loading in parts
A particularly cost-effective technique for evaluating manufactured products, materials and components is to measure their ability to sustain applied tensile or compressive loads.
More than materials testng software
Mecmesin's new Imperial test stands controlled by the new generation Emperor software are now available from, and supported by, a worldwide network of Agents.
The AFG and BFG both feature: robust cases with stylish ergonomic designs, an invertible digital matrix display, analogue 'trend bar' indicating total load, fast data acquisition rates, dual peak facility capturing both tensile and compressive maxima, pass/fail alarms, RS232 and analogue data output, 'hot keys' enabling either gauge to be tailored to particular needs of each customer, a loadcell diagnostic test routine, and a comprehensive range of capacities up to 2500N.
The AFG offers many additional features, including: higher accuracy, control of a motorised test stand control via gauge, even faster data acquisition rate (5000Hz), first and ultimate peak capture, a keypad design providing logical navigation through the menu-driven software facilities, an external trigger, and interchangeable loadcells.
This latter facility enabling a different Advanced Load Cartridge (ALC), to be attached via a 'snap-fix' connector, dramatically increases the range of tests which can be undertaken with one instrument. Request a free brochure from Mecmesin ...
