VFG Digital Force Gauge

VFG Force Gauge: Advanced Digital Force Measurement

The VFG Force Gauge is ACRN’s top-of-range digital instrument for tensile and compression testing, combining a touchscreen interface with the Vector OS software for advanced data analysis.

Available in capacities from 2.5N to 2500N, the VFG Force Gauge builds on the AFG and BFG electronic force gauges with graphical curve display, first/last peak recording, and 32GB of onboard storage for full test traceability.

Typical applications of the VFG Force Gauge

Manufacturers rely on the VFG Force Gauge for advanced quality control tasks that require graphical analysis of the force curve, not just a single peak value: packaging seal verification, assembly force profiling, and R&D testing where understanding the full force/time behaviour matters as much as the peak reading.

General force-measurement principles for this type of instrument are described in the reference documentation on force gauges, and every VFG Force Gauge is delivered with a COFRAC-traceable calibration certificate to guarantee full metrological traceability for your quality processes.

The features of the VFG

The VFG electronic force gauge provides enhanced data analysis capabilities, such as recording of key test values (first and last peaks), as well as a graphical mode that generates a live curve on the force gauge screen to identify critical events that occur during the test.

A visual alarm alerts operators to the success or failure of their test, and the overload warning minimizes the risk of accidental damage to the load cell.

Your test data is stored on an external memory (micro-SDHC 32 GB) and can be exported later to your computer or via a printer for further analysis of your results.

Mount the force gauge on test stands and connect it to external force and torque sensors, ideal for hundreds of different applications.

Vector OS

Vector OS software is at the heart of the VFG, allowing operators to configure the force gauge to their measurement needs, while customizing the touch screen interface to quickly analyze test results.

Capacities from 2.5 to 2500N

The VFG is available in 10 models to meet a wide range of industrial applications.
It offers increased accuracy (± 0.1% of full scale) with readings displayed in 7 different units of measure: N, kN, mN, gf, kgf, lbf and ozf.

Compatible with Vector Pro Lite software

As with the AFG and BFG digital force gauges, the advanced Vector Pro Lite plotting and data acquisition software is available as an option. The connection is simply made with an interface cable connecting your computer to your force measurement instrument.
