Digital Welding Force Gauge
The WFG series of digital force gauge are state of the art technology in electrode force measurement.
Designed specifically for opposed and parallel gap weld head force measurement, these units combine robust ergonomic design with electronic precision, offering single handed operation in a durable and easy to use unit.
The units provide a friendly intuitive user interface with a large easy to read LCD display.
Force measurements can be displayed as grams, newtons or pounds and can be captured at any point with the display Hold button.
In addition all units provide an RS232 interface allowing measured data to be captured and analysed on a personal computer.
Key Features Digital Welding Force Gauge
- External trigger input to capture electrode force at the moment a weld is triggered
- Audible indication of errors, including overload, high and low force conditions
- Automatic and manual tare functions
- Automatic power off PP3 battery operation
- User selectable measurement units.
- Data HOLD feature
- RS-232 data port for data capture and calibration
- Operator mode, using set point and upper & lower percentage limits for force validation
- Peak hold feature
