The Series 4 digital force gauges, with a sampling rate of 3,000 Hz, deliver precise measurements across a diverse array of testing scenarios. They boast an accuracy of ±0.2% of full scale and a resolution of 1/2000, ensuring detailed and reliable data. The device features a large, backlit graphics LCD that presents information in clear, easy-to-read characters, complemented by straightforward menu navigation for efficient access to the gauge’s extensive features and settings. Data transfer to PCs or other data collectors is facilitated through various outputs including USB, RS-232, Mitutoyo (Digimatic), and analog.
These gauges come equipped with onboard memory capable of storing up to 50 readings, along with the capability for statistical analysis and PC data output. Integrated set points with indicators make these gauges perfect for pass-fail assessments and activating external mechanisms like alarms, relays, or test stands.
Designed with an overload protection of up to 200% of capacity, the gauges also display an analog load bar for a visual cue of the force applied. Their ergonomic, reversible aluminum construction offers versatility for handheld use or mounting on test stands for more complex testing needs. Series 4 gauges are fully compatible with Mark-10 test stands, grips, and software, enhancing their utility.
Included with the gauges is the MESUR® Lite data acquisition software, which simplifies the process of data collection, whether continuous or at single points. The software’s one-click export feature to Excel significantly aids in the further analysis and manipulation of data.
