A range of five force sensors from Kistler Instruments has been developed specifically for use in production environments, particularly for quality assurance monitoring in assembly applications. The piezoelectric sensors cover measuring ranges from 5-120kN and are supplied as standard with 1 per cent, 10 per cent and 100 per cent measuring range calibrations. In most applications, the sensors may be fitted directly into presses, punches and rams but, where this is not possible, various flanges and adapters are available. Where high-precision coaxial installation is required, such as in presses, a double-sided, centring seat is available.
