Measurement amplifiers are necessary to convert the mV/V signal into the appropriate output signal for the control system. Thanks to numerous features such as input and output parameterisation, intelligent DAB measuring amplifiers save valuable time when commissioning force measurement solutions. Various intelligent functions that present relevant data in a pre-processed form also contribute to significantly reducing the load on the control system.
Adapt Baumer force and tension sensors to your application tasks requiring precise force measurements and benefit from smart features for maximum results. When used in conjunction with the Baumer Sensor Package, you will take full advantage of the capabilities of force and tension sensors thanks to special plug-ins and an intuitive user interface.
The most important issues regarding any technical plant or machine include process optimization, quality assurance and downtime prevention. Force and tension measurement supports the process and detects wear or overload in bearings, suspensions or supports at an early stage.
Quality Monitoring
Measuring forces in fusion processes or monitoring assembly forces are important indicators that verify the quality of a process and detect possible sources of error at an early stage.
Increase Production
Whether you need to detect the limit force faster, speed up the process or increase repeatability, all these parameters are controlled and optimized using force measurement.
Maintenance Prevention
Data obtained from force measurement helps prevent downtime, optimize maintenance cycles and prevent overloading of components. Maintenance and processing costs are reduced.
Force measurement: Force sensor or tension sensor?
Force sensors are often taken into consideration when searching for force measurement solutions. Especially when large forces are involved, strain sensors are a cost-effective and smart alternative. What are the differences between the two types of sensors and what are the optimal scenarios for using each?
