SCAIME launches EPSIMETAL to better gauge your strains
The integral strain-gauge bridge, digitally adjustable by RS232, is designed to provide high-level output and compensation for thermal expansion on any material. EPSIMETAL's flexibility gives it a measuring range of 1,000µm/m, with a resolution of at least 1µm/m, in tension or compression. Thanks to a patented system of mechanical biasses, which compensate for the stresses of the sensor, the zero drift is negligible and the repeatability is excellent. EPSIMETAL can be installed easily with the four screws that are provided; alternatively, it can be affixed directly by using the removable bedplates fitted to the unit. These bedplates can be machined, as required, to match the shape of the structure that the EPSIMETAL unit is due to be installed on (for example, columns of varying diameters). As a result, EPSIMETAL is a re-usable product. A few typical applications include measuring column tension on injection presses; controlling the force applied to welding heads; controlling stresses affecting building and other civil-engineering structures; on-board weighing, as applied to lorries and trailers; and elevator load-weighing systems. About SCAIME SAS SCAIME SAS, which is headquartered near Annemasse (in south-eastern France), is a leading manufacturer of weighing components and solutions. The company was created in 1983. By broadening both its range of products and its client base, SCAIME has successfully developed from a components manufacturer into a provider of physical-quantity measurement solutions. EPSIMETAL has been designed and developed using advanced technological features that have been patented by SCAIME.
