Versatility and Simplification The external sensors: AFM external load cell, and the AQM external torque transducer, can be used together with our force gauge DFS3 to offer ultimate flexibility when performing different types of tests in various applications without having to constantly change settings. All settings can be preconfigured so that the sensors are ready for use, and this especially increases the effciency when doing repeated testing day-after-day.
Up to two external sensors can be connected in the DFS3 force gauges. Together with the internal sensor., the full set-up provides a 3-in-1 device. The force gauge shows the results from one sensor at a time, so that there is no doubt as to which sensor the results come from.
It is easy to connect the two external sensors - they both have an ADC inline box, which ensures a stable digital signal and enables the force gauge itself to identify them with a single click. The digital communication offers an improved accuracy and keeps the calibration information stored within the external device, meaning it can be used by other DFS3 gauges without affecting readings. This makes it plug-and-play.
- External loadcells AFM - Capacities from 0.5lbf to 1000lbf (2.5N to 5000N) Accuracy: 0.1% FS
- External Torque Transducers AQM - Capacities from 3in-lbf to 200in-lbf (0.35 Nm to 20 Nm) Accuracy: 0.3% FS
AFM & AQM with the DFS3
Unique User Interface The AFM and AQM sensors are automatically recognized by the DFS3 force gauge. The integrated electronics associated with the sensors contain all the calibration parameters necessary to guarantee the best measurement precision and metrological monitoring. In addition, potential overloads, dates, and values are also stored in memory and displayed.
Always up to speed With the DFS3 you are always sure to have the latest firmware on your device. Our cloud-based software AMETEK Device Agent helps you identify the latest firmware and get it updated in only 60 sec.
Versatility and Flexibility All the DFS3s have an internal Loadcell and TWO external transducer inputs. A Test Station could be configured and set up with 3 transducers.
The DFS3 manages and interfaces with one sensor at a time. With FIVE Test Setups available, you can pre-configure your tests with the required transducer. This simplifies and improves the quality and reliability of your measurements. Fast and intuitive!
AFM with the motorized TCM
Get greater flexibility in application solutions
To benefit from a more stable and reliable test speed, the external AFM loadcells can be combined with a TCM Motorized Test Stand. This helps to eliminate any variables that might impact the force readings and offers an ideal solution for force measurement testing. The TCM series is well adapted for production environments and attached with the DFS3 digital force gauges makes tensile, compression, peel, and flexural testing of your samples an easy task.
In this solution, you get a powerful stand-alone solution for product testing, where the DFS3 force gauge can display the TCM travel for easy positioning of the moving crosshead. The TCM will stop at break or stop at the limit set on the gauge. This solution is also ideal where repeated measurements are required. Here, the TCM series will ensure that the test is carried out in exactly the same way every time, thus making data collection easier and more comparable.
Benefits with the ForceTest software
