DFS Digital Force Gauge |
The Advanced Chatillon® DFS Digital Force Gauge combines the basic versatility of its companion DFE with added firmware for use as the primary control of Chatillon motorized test stands. Mounted on the Chatillon TCM 201, TCD 200 or TCD 500, the DFS provides force set points, pass-fail limits, break detection, contact closure force, statistical calculations, force averaging, load comparison as well as instantaneous and peak detection.
The DFS features ± 0.1% accuracy to 500 lbf / 250 kgf / 2500 N . The high-resolution, dot-matrix LCD features large 0.5'' numerals, seven information text lines and a bar graph. Five force units are selectable: lbf, ozf, kgf, gf and N.
The Chatillon Nexygen Gauge Software is included with RS232 cable providing a means to perform and graph tests using a computer. Force versus time graphing and tabular results are used for reports with Excel, Word, Access, Powerpoint and Outlook.
