Arbor Press Force Measurement
Arbor presses are widely used in manufacturing and assembly processes to install buttons, rivets, bearings, and other components onto surfaces. Controlling the amount of force applied during the pressing operation is critical to ensure proper assembly, prevent damage to parts, and maintain consistent product quality.
Loadstar Sensors provides a simple and accurate solution to measure the force applied by an arbor press in real time. By integrating a precision load cell into the pressing setup, users can monitor the applied force and capture valuable data for quality control, testing, and process improvement.
The force can be viewed in real time on our touchscreen display, allowing operators to monitor the pressing process as it happens. For advanced analysis, our LoadVUE Pro software can be used on a PC or tablet to view, log, and plot the force data over time. This enables better process control and quality verification of the pressing operations.
The Challenge
In many pressing operations, the force applied by an arbor press is unknown and depends entirely on the operator. Without accurate force measurement, it can be difficult to ensure that the correct amount of force is applied during each operation.
This can lead to several issues:
-
Inconsistent assembly results
-
Damage to delicate components
-
Undetected under-pressing or over-pressing
-
Lack of data for quality verification and process validation
Manufacturers often need a reliable way to measure, monitor, and record the pressing force to improve process control and maintain product quality.
Digital Load Cell Solution for Arbor Press Force Measurement
Our precision load cells accurately measure the force applied during the pressing operation and provide real-time feedback to the operator. The measured force can be displayed on a touchscreen display or connected to a PC or tablet for advanced data visualization and logging.
The ready-to-use kit includes, RSB6 load cell, DI-1000U digital interface, and either a touch-screen display or our LoadVUE Pro software for the PC.
Force Applied by an Arbor Press
How Does Arbor Press Solution Work?
The RSB6 load cell attached to the arbor press measures the force being applied. This data is transmitted via the DI-1000U digital interface to a PC or a touch-screen display using USB output. To view, log and plot the sensor data on a PC, use our LoadVUE Pro software.
