Dart 2.0 FGV-XY Force Gauge

The ergonomically designed DART 2.0 provides an easy to use force gauge for incoming quality inspection, finished goods testing, R&D and other force-related applications. Onboard statistical calculations provide fast access to maximum, minimum, average and standard deviation data.

The USB port and 1,000 point memory allows for data exporting in real time or after testing is complete. In addition, the RS-232C and analog outputs provide the DART 2.0 with maximum flexibility.

 
Examples: Wallboard, wire pull, wire crimps, trigger pull, brake pedal, aerospace ceramic, springs, food ripeness, corrugated paper strength, blister pack, medical component, muscle strength, ergonomic testing, adhesives, syringe plunger, needle sharpness and many more.

  • 1000 Hz Sample Rate - Faster sampling to provide more accurate results
  • High Accuracy (0.2%) - Ideal for strict tolerances
  • USB/RS-232/Analog Outputs - 3 different outputs for data collection provides maximum flexibility
  • Reversible Keypad and Display - Use as a handheld gauge or mount upside down on a stand
    upside down reading not required
  • 0.5 Lb to 200 Lb Capacities - Various capacities allow testing of different applications without
    forfeiting accuracy
  • 200% Overload Capacity - Higher overload protection results in less repairs - Cheap to keep
  • Rugged Die Cast Aluminum Construction - Exceptional durability
  • Selectable Auto-Shut Off - Prolongs battery life, while allowing constant use when powered
    via AC adapter
  • Small Size - Ergonomic design provides comfort for hand held testing
  • On Board Statistics - Obtain immediate results and analysis of your tests
  • Expanded Memory - Store data points for later review and transfer to PC/Laptop
  • Built In Hi-Lo Comparator - Perform quick and easy ‘Go-No Go’ Testing

Note: Can be used on FGS series Test Stands.
