MARK-10

BGI Digital Force/Torque Indicator

Features

• Fully interchangeable force and torque sensors with "personality" modules containing all calibration and user-set data.
• RS-232, Mitutoyo and analog outputs.
• GCL - Gauge Control Language allows full control via RS-232 of functions and I/O control of external devices through three output and one input lines.
• Averaging mode of operation permits measurement of average force/torque over time time which is useful for peel force testing, muscle strength measurement, etc. Time, trigger value and inclusion of peak readings in the average are user programmable.
• External trigger mode of operation permits data capture upon application of an external signal. Useful for contact/switch testing or synchrozation of several instruments in simultaneous multipoint measurements.
• Programmable dual set points with outputs for "over", "under" and "in range" indication or process control.
• Peak reading memory.
• Programmable initial status of units, mode of operation, analog and digital filtering.
• Programmable auto-shutoff.
• Push button selection of units of measurement appropriate for the sensor in use.
• Push-button calibration.

The Model BGI digital force/torque indicator is a product offering a unique concept of fully interchangeable force and torque sensors with automatic switching of all parameters and calibration data. Utilizing the field-proven technology of the highly successful Series of BG force guages, this instrument offers an unprecedented number of features and capabilities. Because of its flexibility, the BGI is used in a variety of applications including bolt torquing, torque wrench calibration, materials testing, weighing, peel force measurement, friction measurement, electrical switch/contact closure force measurement, muscle strength measurement, ergonomic studies, spring testing, and many others.
