Whether you’re a manufacturing engineer at an aerospace company monitoring load distribution across an aircraft wing or an automotive systems integrator testing adhesive strength in vehicle assembly, you need a testing system tailored to your exact specifications.
Traditional force and torque gauges are excellent standalone instruments, but they’re not always the right fit for integrated systems. Mark-10’s newest product, the MF100 + MESUR®Flex sensor interface, is. The sleek, customizable device excels in both laboratory and industrial environments.
Streamlined Measurement Without the Bulk
The MF100 is a compact USB sensor interface that connects strain gage-based load cells, force sensors, and torque sensors directly to your PC, giving you complete control and precise measurements. Unlike more traditional measurement equipment, the mountable device integrates seamlessly into your existing systems.
Using MESUR®Flex software, you can adapt the MF100 to your specific application, whether you’re measuring force, torque or weight.
Applications Across Industries
Systems integrators across industries can use the MF100 in a near infinite number of applications, from delicate materials testing to heavy industrial measurement. The device accommodates a wide range of capacities:
- Force sensors from 0.12 to 750,000 lbF (0.5 N to 4,000 kN)
- Torque sensors from 10 ozFin to 40,000 lbFft (7 Ncm to 57,000 Nm)
The flexibility of the MF100 makes it ideal for:
- Weighing applications: Monitor chemical levels in tanks and hoppers and track material flow in production processes
- Force measurement: Perform inline tests within an assembly process
- Multi-point data collection: Mount multiple load cells on large structures to measure load distribution
Simple Setup, Powerful Control with MESUR®Flex Software
Setting up and testing with the MF100 is straightforward. A built-in screw terminal block allows you to quickly connect your sensor wires to the interface without soldering.
MESUR®Flex, Mark-10’s configuration software designed specifically for the MF100, supports a wide range of weighing, force and torque measurement applications. The user-friendly software guides you through the setup process and includes a step-by-step wizard that walks you through each phase of calibration.
The MF100 is designed primarily for integration into customers’ own data acquisition platforms. An extensive library of serial commands is available for functions such as live data collection, peak data collection, sensor ID, and more. This makes the MF100 ideal for engineers and integrators who need to embed measurement capabilities within pre-existing systems.
