New Universal Measuring System PHYSIMETER® 906 USB
The new Measuring System PHYSIMETER® 906 USB from ERICHSEN is used for the acquisition of mechanical parameters based on wire strain gauge sensors. This measuring system is used everywhere where a quick and unproblematic determining of forces (or torques) and other physical quantities for production monitoring and quality assurance is needed.

Independent of the measuring range a coded, externally existing load cell, displacment or torque sensor can be connected. With smaller forces between 20 N and 1000 N, the PHYSIMETER® 906 USB also be equipped with an integrated load cell, an external force transducer is not required anymore in this case.
