Phased out date: Mar 31, 2020
Force-measuring jaws measure gripping forces, but can also determine workpiece weights or dimensional deviations. There are active and passive intermediate jaws (FMS-ZBA or FMS-ZBP). At least one active force-measuring jaw is required per gripper, the rest can be passive. For each active jaw, a FMS-A1 evaluation unit and a FMS-A connection cable are required.

Options and special information
- General notes about the series
The FMS force measuring system allows measuring forces acting on the base jaw in the direction of the jaw movement. Up to three active (equipped with sensors) FMS-ZBA intermediate jaws are required for this purpose, depending on the field of application. - The remaining base jaws contain the passive FMS-ZBP intermediate jaws (without sensor systems). Each FMS-ZBA active intermediate jaw requires an FMS-A1 electronic processor for evaluation, and an FMS-AK connection cable for connecting the electronic processor to an SPC or a control cabinet.
- Range of measurement
The measuring range is the range within which the whole system has an accuracy of < 3%. The overload range is the range within which the whole system has an accuracy of > 3%. At the end of the overload range, there is the danger of the mechanical destruction of the intermediate jaw.
