FM 202
Pinch Force Measurement System for Automotive Applications
Safety ensured by Pinch Force Measurement
The FM 202 is an electronic pinch force measuring system for power driven closing systems like car windows, sunroofs and doors and for steps in the railway sector. It allows measurements up to 600 N at a deflection rate of 10 N/mm.
Combining rugged construction with precision, the advanced mechanical design delivers exact measurements, even after years of service in an industrial environment.
Fast and easy performance of repetetive measurements is an important aspect of standard test scenarios.
Drive Test has responded to this requirement by developing software which streamlines the measurement process and drastically reduces documentation effort. Measurements can be downloaded to a PC, analysed, exported and documented with a minimum of user interactions.
The investment repays itself within a short time.
Our PinchPilot software provides also interfaces like Microsoft® DLL or National Instruments® LabVIEW for remote control in automated environments.
