The VFTI Force and Torque Indicator is an innovative, multipurpose touchscreen display unit that satisfies the core requirements of most torque and force measurement applications.
A built-in adapter enables it to be connected to Mecmesin’s established range of “Smart” force and torque sensors. Powered by Vector OS, this device instantly identifies the attached sensor and can be used as a handheld device for testing on the go or it can be incorporated into the user’s test rig as the core measurement device.
The software automatically detects the calibration data and measurement capabilities of each sensor. This feature allows the user to know whether they are measuring with the highest level of accuracy and sensitivity.
Vector OS software powers the VFTI’s 5″ colour touchscreen with an intuitive interface to simplify operation for all users. By swiping icons, users can access configuration menus and set up advanced tests. Users can also customize the display to include only the options they wish to see.
The pinch-and-zoom option can be used to expand the live graph. With the touchscreen, the users can customize the application to exact requirements and then easily analyse test results in a matter of seconds.
The VFTI provides enhanced measurement features and data analysis capabilities:
- Maximum and First Peak mode — register the main values from the test
- Graphing mode — produces a live curve on the display to help identify critical events when the test is performed
- Overload warning — reduces the risk of accidental damage to the connected sensors
- Visual pass/fail alarms — alerts operators instantly when testing
- Rapid internal sampling at 5 MHz facilitates a data-acquisition rate of 2,000 times per second — guarantees sudden break-force readings are captured accurately
- Expandable external memory — save all the raw data-points on a 32 GB micro-SDHC card so that the user can test quickly and download results later
- Statistical summary — displayed readings can be stored in an integrated memory for statistical analysis within the VFTI
- Data can be output directly to a PC or printer for further analysis
The ergonomic VFTI is ideal for use as a portable test device both indoors and outdoors, thanks to its rugged, lightweight aluminum housing and lithium-ion battery. This device can also be incorporated into the user’s own test rig as the core measurement device to be used in production, quality control and research and development situations.
