Nowadays manufacturers are forced more and more to increase and secure the product quality already during the production process by application of measurement technique. Thus on the one hand the scrap rate is reduced as well as on the other hand also the material need due to smaller manufacturing tolerances. Furthermore liability can cause problems in case of damage. Therefore quality control is the reason for risen requirements towards force measurement, not only for testing machines and laboratory but also for job lot production in medium-sized companies, as i.e. given in press-fit and joining processes. 

burster as manufacturer of load cells meets this challenge by launching a new high precision compression load cell. The new model 8527 with its special constructive design uses proven strain gauge technology. Its accuracy class is 0.05 %. The load cell can be used likewise for the measurement of static and dynamic compression forces. The load cell made of an extremely heavy-duty high-grade steel approved for aerospace technology is rated for endurance strength. The convex surface for force application in the centre of the load cell guarantees an only very small influence on the measuring signal. There are 7 measuring ranges available from 0…500 N up to 0…100 kN. 

For the amplification and evaluation of the sensor signal the user should employ an instrument of the same quality class. Process interface model 9714 offers ideal conditions for an adequate handling of the output voltage provided by the load cell. The interface shows the measured force in six-digit high resolution with its own excellent accuracy of typically 0.01 % F.S. It provides peak value memory, class comparator, average calculation, data logger and serial interface. By storing max. 16 data sets of any sensors the potential of the process interface model 9714 can be further enhanced essentially. 

The process interface completes the high precision load cell ideally as a measuring chain for many ambitious applications in R+D, test and production field as well as reference measuring chain for the check-up and set-up of force measurement installations. For the requirements of quality control it is further possible to provide traceable manufacturers or DKD calibrations either only for the load cell or for the whole measuring chain.
