The first product line of force sensors has been presented at the "Sensor & Test". The sensors cover maximum force ranges up to 120kN and offer all advantages of the piezoelectric measuring technique: almost displacement free, high-dynamic measurements with extreme robustness in compact sizes. The sensors are available with an individually matched and calibrated charge amplifier. They can be integrated easily into existing data acquisition systems by TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet).
As a special feature the sensors provide a "zoom function", which enables the monitoring of critical process steps in higher resolution at any selected point. This unique zoom function comes pre-calibrated, which is technically realized by using a second TEDS chip. The zoom function also enables the system to monitor overload critical processes with demanding requirements in a safe manner.
