Custom Force Measurement Systems
Custom Force Measurement Systems
Trends in the force measurement market are currently undergoing rapid evolution. Application requirements continue to migrate towards more complex and complete force measurement systems. These systems include a mix of components, including sensor hardware, accessories, instrumentation, interconnections, integration, and software.
System components must be modular, scalable, customizable, and interconnect with a range of third-party equipment. During the design process, each component must be carefully designed or selected based on its specific function. Good design practices, early in the process, simplify the later tasks, such as installation, deployment, and maintenance, resulting in long term cost-effective solutions.
Complete force measurement systems are not new. Since 1960, Strainsert has specialized in manufacturing custom sensors in support of complete force measurement system solutions. We can provide simple systems or can work with our trusted system integrators for complete turnkey solutions to satisfy complex customer requirements.
Benefits of complete force measurement systems:
- Compatibility
- Proper selection of system components including sensors, connectors, cabling, hardware, instrumentation, enclosures/housing, and software.
- Industry standard digital, analog, and wireless signals interconnections. Ease of integration with customer systems.
- Use of industry standard communication protocols allow for system scalability, upgradability, and backwards compatibility.
- Performance
- Systems can be factory assembled, configured, tested, and calibrated at Strainsert or can be installed and calibrated in the field.
- Systems are optimally designed for the ideal channel count, sampling rate, and accuracy based on the target application requirements.
- During calibration, error stack-ups are compensated at the system level.
- Cost of Ownership
- Fewer purchasing transactions. Reduced ordering, handling, and potential return costs.
- Less time and money spent on development.
- Lower lifetime cost of ownership.
- Opportunity costs. Customer can focus on core business priorities.
- Support
- System design guidance and post-sales expert technical support.
- Strainsert provides a 2-year standard warranty – double the industry standard!
- Manuals, instructions, and documentation.
- Trusted partnerships with third party integrators.
- Established relationships with NADCAP approved vendors for special material processes, finishes, and testing.
