Summary

  • Customer Need / Challenge

    A customer wants to test the performance of their springs, but also the functionality of their spring test stand with a wireless solution.

  • Interface Solution

    Interface suggests using one of their WTS-5200XYZ 3-Axis Force Moment Load Cell which has 3 integral WTSAM-1E Wireless Transmitters and installing it into the customer’s spring compression frame. The WTS-5200XYZ 3-Axis Force Moment Load Cell will measure the force compression of the spring. The integral WTS-AM-1E Wireless Strain Bridge Transmitter Modules will transmit and display the information wirelessly to the LCCAXXX Wireless Instrument Enclosure. It can also be programmed to trigger an alarm.

  • Results

    The customer was able to wirelessly get compression results on the spring being tested. They were also able to verify their spring compression test stand was working effectively.

Materials


  • WTS-5200XYZ 3-Axis Force Moment Load Cell which has 3 integral WTS-AM-1E Wireless Transmitters
  • LCCA-XXX Wireless Instrument Enclosure
  • Customer Spring Test Stand

How it Works


  1. The WTS-5200XYZ 3-Axis Force Moment Load Cell with 3 integral WTS-AM-1E Wireless Transmitters is installed into the customer’s spring compression frame.
  2. The spring is compressed, and force measurements are read by the WTS-5200XYZ 3-Axis Force Moment Load Cell with 3 integral WTS-AM-1E Wireless Transmitters.
  3. The output information is transmitted wirelessly to the LCCA-XXX Wireless Instrument Enclosure. If needed, the LCCA-XXX Wireless Instrument Enclosure can be programmed to trigger an alarm.
