Presentation

The 3-axis force sensor K3D160 is suitable for measuring force in three mutually perpendicular axes. Available capacities range ±2kN to ±50kN for each of the 3 axis, and can optionally be manufactured in other measurement ranges.

The force sensor is made of high-strength tool steel, nickel plated. It stands out due to its particularly compact structure, with an area of 160mm x 160mm and a low total height of just 66 mm.

Specifications

K3D160 3-axis force transducer can be delivered with 5 measuring ranges:

Model	K3D160 (±2kN)	K3D160 (±5kN)	K3D160 (±10kN)	K3D160 (±20kN)	K3D160 (±50kN)
Fx, Fy, Fz [N]	2000	5000	10000	20000	50000
Max moment	1kNm	1kNm	1kNm	2kNm	2kNm
Connector/Cable	5 m cable	5 m cable	5 m cable	5 m cable	5 m cable
Housing	Steel	Steel	Steel	Steel	Steel

A calibration certificate is delivered with each transducer. The calibration can be procedeeded on customer specific measuring range (option), as well as an ISO-17025 certificate (option).

Data acquisition

PM Instrumentation offers amplifiers and data acquisition solutions for 2 cases:

PC or PLC based data acquisition is equipped with a I/O board with strain gage channels
PC or PLC-based data acquisition has only a communication port (CAN, Serial, etc...)

PM Instrumentation recommends the force transducers amplifiers with digital interface of GSV series:

GSV-4USB (amplifier + acquisition, 4 analog input channels, USB interface) or Bluetooth version GSV-4BT M12, with optional datalogger
le GSV-8DS (high perfornance DAQ module, 8 analog inputs channels)
le GSV-6LTE, with datalogger and wireless interface

GSV-1A4 amplifier is similar to GSV-4USB, yet with 4 analog output and no communication interface.

A software for data visualisation and acquisition (GSV-multi) is provided with the data acquisition modules. A SDK including dll and VI files are provided as well free of charge for application development with Labview or C / Visual Studio / C++ / .net environments.

Applications

Example application of 3-axis K3D160 areas include

force measurement in production processes
force control in handling machines
force measurement in assembly processes
three-dimensional load measurement.
