Shimpo FG-3008, FG-3005, FG-3006, FG-3009, FG-3003 Data Sheet

The new FG-3000 Series digital force gauges
are the choice for simple, cost-effective ten­sion and compression testing. Combining one of the

most compact housings, yet maintaining a large back-lit LCD,
these units were designed to fit perfectly in the hand for ease of
use. The multi-language FG-3000’s provide menu programming
for intuitive set-up of the instrument to your desired requirements.
Three modes of operation are selectable: Track mode displays
live readings, Peak mode records the maximum reading sensed
during the test, and Pre-set mode which activates user defined
high and low limit set points. The programmable limits provide a
quick visual and audible indication if a test passes or fails. In ad­dition, a comparator output enables integration of the instrument
into your quality system for repetitive testing such as on produc­tion lines.

The display graphics facilitate user comprehension and opera­tion. An analog bar graph provides perspective of current reading
in comparison to the full scale range. Pass/Fail icons provide an
instant response of the testing outcome while a storage symbol
acknowledges when a reading is logged. A menu-selectable dis­play orientation streamlines switching from push to pull testing for
portable or test stand applications.

These high-tech instruments can log up to 500 readings at the
push of a button for instant data acquisition. The data can be
viewed on screen, sent to optional printer, or uploaded on the free
software program for graphing and statistical analysis. Models
are available from 2.2 to 220 lb ranges providing a large offering
for various applications such as, incoming quality inspection, fin­ished goods testing, R&D or almost any portable or force stand
testing requirement.

EDMS Data Acquisition Software

Allows full testing of FG Series Force Gauges with live analysis
of the test results. Users can set a delay or a time period for the
test data to record as well as begin or end if a load threshold is
reached. The load can be inverted so the graph shows the resul­tant force in the direction desired. Average and peak readings
are automatically calculated, but the user can zoom in on a sec­tion of a graph and recalculate the new average and peak over
the selected portion of the test. Besides acquiring live data, the
EDMS program can also upload previously stored readings from
the gauge. Additionally, the software provides the ability to easily
save the data set to a spreadsheet file, plus save the resultant
graph as a photo for later review.
