6ADF Series BX8 System

6ADF Series 6-Axis DIN Flange-Type Load Cells and BX8-HD44 BlueDAQ Series Data Acquisition System for Multi-Axis Sensors with Lab Enclosure System

6-Axis DIN Flange-Type Sensor and Data Acquisition System

The Interface 6ADF‑Series 6‑Axis DIN flange‑type load cell captures forces and torques along six axes and outputs raw mV/V signals across six independent channels, using a 36‑term coefficient matrix for conversion; the BX8‑HD44 BlueDAQ data‑acquisition system then accepts these signals, internally applies the matrix to compute real‑time axis load values, synchronously samples all channels, actively scales analog outputs, and provides graphing, logging, and PC interface functionality.

6ADF Series 6-Axis DIN Flange-Type Load Cells:
- 6-Axis – force and torque in all six axes
- Capacities – Force 20N to 1.2kN, Torque 1Nm to 60Nm
- Compact size
- Force and moment values MUST be calculated using supplied 36-term coefficient matrix
- Low crosstalk
- Temperature compensated
- Mounting per DIN EN ISO 9409-1
- Optional BX8 amplifier and software can be used for force and moment value calculation
BX8-HD44 BlueDAQ Series Data Acquisition System for Multi-Axis Sensors with Lab Enclosure:

Interface’s 6-axis load cell measures forces simultaneously in three mutually perpendicular axes and three simultaneous torques about those same axes. Six full bridges provide mV/V output on six independent channels. Interface’s 6-axis load cell is ideally suited to many industrial and scientific applications, such as aerospace, robotics, automotive and medical research (orthopedics and biomechanical). A 36-term coefficient matrix is included for calculating the load and torque values in each axis. An 8-channel amplifier with USB PC interface is also available which simplifies data analysis.

BX8-HD44 BlueDAQ Series Data Acquisition System for Multi-Axis Sensors with Lab Enclosure

8-Channel BlueDaq Data Acquisition System

Model BX8-HD44 BlueDAQ Series Data Acquisition System for Multi-Axis Sensors with Lab Enclosure is the newest addition to Interface’s family of measurement systems. Easy enough for the inexperienced user but powerful enough for the sophisticated test engineer, with the BX8 anyone can be up and measuring in minutes. Designed specifically for use with mV/V output sensors such as force, torque and pressure along with PT1000 thermocouples, and ±10V output sensors, the BX8 puts graphing, logging and display capabilities at a user’s fingertips. The BX8 also includes 1/4 and 1/2 bridge completion for seamless integration of strain gage measurements. Eight independent, user configurable, 16-bit scalable analog outputs can be connected to external devices.

The BX8 is ideally suited for use with 6-axis sensors requiring axis load calculations. The sensor coefficient matrix can be loaded internally into the BX8 via software interface and the outputs are actively scaled according to the calculations. All channels are sampled simultaneously and fully synchronized. When purchased with a 6-axis sensor, the system will arrive pre-configured and ready to use.

BlueDAQ Software

The BlueDAQ software is suitable for live viewing, recording, and analysis of stored measuring data. The multiple channels can be recorded over the time axis (y-t diagram) or via an “X-axis” (X-Y diagram). The BlueDAQ software is available for models BSC1, BSC2, BSC4D, BX6, BX8, and the 9330. The measuring data is stored in binary “TDMS” by recording and can be opened, displayed, and exported in text or Excel format with the integrated “File Monitor”.
