The new ABC of gauges now available from Mecmesin offers a complete range of gauges for selecting the most suitable functionality level for each requirement.
The new ABC of gauges now available from Mecmesin offers a complete range of gauges for selecting the most suitable functionality level for each requirement, from the fully featured AFG advanced force gauge, through the budget-priced BFG basic force gauge, to the elementary GFG compact force gauge.
Developed for quality control within sectors of the electronics industry as diverse as connector insertion/withdrawal testing, 'pull off' testing of individual components, pinch testing of insulator integrity, and switch actuation profiling, the new instrument ranges enable both value to be added to quality-controlled products, and operating efficiencies to be improved.
The new AFG is the most versatile and fully featured of the gauges.
The rugged, ergonomically shaped aluminium case makes the instrument particularly suitable for handheld applications.
Power supply either by mains adapter or standard rechargeable NiMH batteries, enables quality control laboratory, or 'on-site' applications to be satisfied with equal ease.
Available in 2.5 to 1000N capacities, this unique product offers new features including the ALC advanced loadcell cartridge.
Ideal for a ranges of applications requiring an instrument to measure across a broad range of forces, the relevant ALC for each application can simply be attached to the AFG display via the snap-fix connector.
The ALC, with all calibration and range data, is automatically recognised and the gauge is ready to use - with no need to buy an additional instrument.
Systems based on a force gauge, manual or motorised tension/compression test stand, and appropriate gripping fixtures, have enabled Mecmesin to establish a reputation for providing cost-effective test systems for quality control applications within many manufacturing sectors, including the electronics industry.
The introduction of exciting new force gauge ranges should ensure that this position is consolidated.
