Summary

  • Customer Need / Challenge

    Manufacturers for claw machines need to measure the force strength of their claws. They need to see the force measurements in order to program their claws grip strength.

  • Interface Solution

    Interface’s ConvexBT Load Cells are installed on the fingers of the claw machine, each connected to WTS-AM-1E Wireless Strain Bridge Transmitter Modules. After a grip test is done, the force results are wirelessly transmitted to the customer’s computer where it can displayed, logged, and graphed when connected to the WTS-BS-6 Wireless Telemetry Dongle Base Station. It will also have supplied Log100 software.

  • Results

    The manufacturers for their claw machines were able to determine the strength of the claw grip, thus were able to program the strength of the claw.

Materials


  • ConvexBT Load Button Load Cell
  • WTS-AM-1E Wireless Strain Bridge Transmitter Module
  • WTS-BS-6 Wireless Telemetry Dongle Base Station
  • Supplied Log100 Software
  • Customer PC or Laptop

How it Works


  1. ConvexBT Load Button Load Cells are attached to the fingers of the claw. The load cells are also connected to WTS-AM-1E Wireless Strain Bridge Transmitter Modules.
  2. A grip test is done on the claw, and the load cells capture the amount of force used.
  3. The force results are wirelessly transmitted to the WTS-BS-6 Wireless Telemetry Dongle Base Station, where results are displayed, recorded, and graphed with supplied Log100 software.
