Measuring Instruments for Manual and Stationary Use
When connected to a measurement reading transducer, every DEPRAG torque measuring instruments of the ME (Measuring Electronic) series provides precise and highly dynamic measurements of torque values.
Application examples are
- supervision, control and torque adjustment of screwdrivers
- control and calibration of mechanical torque wrenches
- control of integrated DEPRAG screwdriver spindles without the necessity to remove the spindle from an assembly machine
- verification and documentation of the assembly quality in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001 quality requirements
The measuring instruments can be operated in the following operational modes (Modi):
- At single measurement with display of the peak value with this mode, all incoming measurements are registered and the highest single value, detected during the entire duration of the measurement, is displayed as the measurement result.
- During the measurement series mode, the peak values of several single measurements are automatically summarized into a measurement series. From the measurement series, essential statistical values, are calculated, such as the average torque value X and standard deviation S.
- Single measurement with display, of the currently prevailing torque value is an operating mode of the measuring instrument ME5600.
Functional principle of the measuring instruments connected to a certain torque-transducer:
- Piezo-Electric Transducer
The electric charge produced by the transducer is changed into an analogue measuring signal by a specially tuned charge amplifier.
- Strain-Gauge Transducer
An analog charge signal is already available on the DMS transducers.
- External Rotary, Non-Contact Transducer
The non-contact transducer creates outgoing charge proportionate to the torque from 0 to 5 volts.
All DEPRAG measuring Instruments of the series ME5…. and ME6…. allow the connection of the three previously mentioned transducers.
Using a fast and high resolution AD converter the torque value is displayed and that accurately and digitally even at a highly-dynamic tightening process.
Naturally, all relevant measuring metrics are traceable to national standards. We offer an extensive calibration service for the regular checkup of your measuring instrument.
The standard-software incorporates a choice of measurement unit (metric/inch) as well as language (German/English).
All measurements are recognizable on the display. Depending on the instrument design, the values can additionally be sent to one of our printers (large line of accessories) or to a primary host computer.
