The MacGregor Welding Systems Digital Force Gauge represents the ultimate in electrode force measurement technology. Designed for force critical welding applications of today and tomorrow, key features include a friendly user interface including a large easy to read four digit LCD display, a reading Hold function and user selectable measurement units, i.e. grammes, Newtons or pounds. The intelligent digital force gauge has the ability to transmit data to a personal computer via an RS232 communications port for data capture in those critical applications that require it.
Intelligent Force Control
The digital force gauge ensures a consistent process by measuring the electrode force of any weld head. The device improves production efficiency, reduces manufacturing costs and improves product quality by eliminating frustrating variables. Any application that demands precision micro welding can immediately be improved with this flexible easy to use tool. The digital force gauge is a small handheld device making it portable and with its reasonable price a must for your troubleshooting kit.
