The Lutron force gauge allows force measurement for quality control such as operating force, spring tension, glue strength, as well as sample hardness such as pills & fruit ripeness. Use of the test stand enables high levels of repeatability in standard test procedures such as tensile strength. A variety of screw on tips is included for common measurements, with other optional special tips for specific purpose. The FG-6005SD series has RS232 communications and comes in a carry case with accessories, and there is an optional test stand for each model. The FG-6100SD with 100Kg capacity has an external S type load cell.
