The Series FGS-100E Vertical, Motorized Force Test Stands combined with the Shimpo line of superior quality force gauges, create a complete force measurement system capable of handling the most precise testing applications.

The test stand’s all steel construction makes them remarkably rugged while performing with precision, providing the reliability to tackle a multitude of applications.

The FGS-100E’s possess simplified operation with their 7 button key-pad and emergency stop button, eliminating lengthy training typical of similar test stands. With four modes of operation (manual, jog, single cycle, continuous) various single tests or repetitive tests can be achieved and selected with the push of a button.

The user can quickly change the speed units displayed on the LCD from mm/min to inches/min to satisfy their test requirement or preference. With manually adjustable high and low stop limits, the test stands are designed for minimal time necessary to adjust for the next test. The FGS-100E motorized stands have a capacity rating of 110 lbs (50 kgf) in either fast [0.78-23.60 in/min (20-600 mm/min)] movement operation or slow speed [0.23-7.00 in/min (6-180 mm/min)] operation models. When connected to a Shimpo FGV Force Gauge, the gauge’s programmable overload setting is communicated to the test stand, allowing the stand to stop at the overload set point and prevent potential damage to the gauge’s sensor.

The FGS-VC Series Motorized Force Test Stands are designed to provide accurate and repeatable results for tension, compression, break and cycle performance tests in various applications.

A key feature is a SHIMPO exclusive: a precision made servo gear head and ball screw for precise movement control. The large measurement area plus tall 15.75” (400 mm) travel distance allow large, unique parts to be tested. A precise and consistent 0.40-15.75”/min (10-400mm/min) adjustable speed provides for slow tests or quick cycle load testing.

The simple keypad combined with the intuitive on screen operation guides the user through setting up each test. Users can perform standard tests in several automatic or manually selected modes as well as choose higher-end capabilities with the additional dwell time, adjustable acceleration, plus user-defined tests with up to 5 programmed set points.

The FGS-VC’s are flexible as they can be operated by the keypad or through a PC via the FGT-VC software which includes data collection, graphing and statistical analysis. The FGT-VC software program allows graphing of force versus distance and the ability to compare several tests on a single graph. Another great feature of the FGT-VC is the comparator mode which enables quick decision pass/fail determination, ideal for production line testing.

The FGS-VC’s can be equipped with various gripping and compression fixtures and are compatible with all Shimpo Force Gauges as well as most gauges on the market. These features make the new FGS-VC the ideal push/pull tester for the production line or QC lab.

Digital Force Gauges with 180° reversibledisplay & dual labeled keypad for both push,pull applications. The Series FGV-XY Force Gaugescombine a rugged, ergonomic and compact design to providea complete force testing instrument. These instruments areutilized in a variety of applications such as, incoming qualityinspection, finished goods testing, R&D or almost any portableor force stand testing requirement.

Onboard statistical calculations provide fast access to maximum,minimum, average and standard deviation data. The ToriemonUSB software and USB cable allow further data analysis on aPC. The 1,000 point memory allows for data exporting in realtime or after testing is complete. In addition, the RS-232C andanalog outputs provide the FGV-XY maximum communicationflexibility. Models are available from 0.5 lbs to 200 lb rangesproviding a large offering for various testing requirements. The180° reversible display combined with the adjustable forcedirection and dual labeled keypad enable the FGV-XY to excelin both compression and tension applications in any direction.

Digital Force Testers – FMM Digital Force Testers

FMM Digital Force Testers may be used with L1 software or with a DFC or DFG Digital Force Gage. FMM Digital Force Testers are compact and ideal for high-volume, lean manufacturing production.

FMM testers are available in three capacities: 110lbf (500N), 330lbf (1500N) and 550lbf (2500N). Two travel lengths are available for all capacities: standard travel at 20” (508mm) and extended travel at 30” (762mm). Crosshead speeds are controlled locally and can be set from 0.002 to 40 inch/min (0.05 to 1016mm/min). A high-resolution OLED display shows distance measurements with accuracy better than 20µm (0.0008 inch). Travel limits help prevent load sensor overloading.

The FMM force tester can be controlled using L1 software for limit, cycling, hold and coefficient of friction testing.

The FMM force tester can also be controlled using a DFC digital force gage. The DFC force gage serves as a universal controller where it is used to setup the force tester’s distance limits, crosshead direction and crosshead velocity for a test.

Features

• Ideal for tension, compression, flexural, cyclic, shear, and friction applications

• Use with L1 software and 2-in-1 tablet PC or with DFC and DFG force gages

• Multiple, Easy-to-Use Operating Modes:

  • Manual

  • Automatic

  • Continuous

  • Gage Control (DFC force gage controls FMM tester)

  • Software Control (L1 system control)
