Example of a calibration value : 172 pC / N.m 1 pico Coulomb = 0.000 000 000 001 C The electronic measuring system (i.e. ME 5600) uses a charge amplifier to convert the charge delivered by the transducer into volts. The voltage is dependant upon the input measurement of an upstream capacitor.
11.5 The Main Screen After switching on the device, first the start screen appears. After the software is fully loa- ded, the main screen appears. Image 3: The Main Screen When you start the machine for the first time, the language may not be set correctly. In this case press the button SETTINGS to select the required language (see chapter 11.5.4.1...
To set the type press the type button and select the relevant transducer from the list. If you want to use a transducer from a different manufacturer select OTHER. Use the BACK but- ton to return to the main screen. Image 5: DMS-Type Setting After pressing the calibration button you can enter the calibration value.
If you want to use a DMS platform from a different manufacturer select “OTHER”. Next a screen appears where you can enter the nominal value of the transducer in N·cm. Then a screen appears where you can enter the sensitivity in mV/V. Once both these values have been entered you return to the selection menu and can return to the main screen from there.
11.5.2 Piezo Setting If you want to use a piezo platform, select PIEZO on the top bar. Image 9: Main Screen for Piezo Transducer Next the measurement range and the calibration value can be set. Remember that meas- urement limits are dependent on the calibration value. Image 10: Setting the Piezo Measurement Range...
Image 11: Entry of the Piezo Calibration Value When you use a small unit of measurement the numbers for the measurement range limits can be very high. In order to display them legibly on the screen, a range can be displayed in the next highest unit of the same measurement system (see Units of Measurement Range Display The display of the measurement results remains unchanged and continues to be carried...
11.5.3 Header Settings If you want to use a transducer/header, select HEADER on the top bar. Image 12: Main Screen for Transducer/header Next select the correct type. Image 13: Setting the Transducer/Header Type...
If you want to use a transducer from a different manufacturer then select OTHER. Next a screen for entry of the nominal value appears. After you have entered this value, you are returned to the type selection menu where you can press the BACK button to return to the main screen.
11.5.4.1 Language Select your preferred language. Image 16: Setting the language 11.5.4.2 Torque Unit of Measurement Select the required unit of measurement. The following units of measurement are available: N·m N·cm Kg·cm Kg·m in·oz in·lb ...
11.5.4.3 Signal Recognition Here you can set whether the measurement should be ended automatically or by hand. When using automatic signal recognition a measurement is ended as soon as the torque falls below 50% of the largest torque measurement reading. Image 18: Setting the Signal Recognition 11.5.4.4...
11.5.4.5 Number of Measurements per Series Set the number of measurements per series. A measurement series must be between 5 and 100 measurements. Image 20: Setting the Number of Measurement per Series 11.5.4.6 Printer Activation Set the printer to ACTIVE when the measurement results should be displayed and printed simultaneously.
11.5.4.7 Signal Tone Activation Activate the signal tone (BELL) when you want the measuring device to make a short tone once a measurement has finished. Image 22: Signal Tone Setting 11.5.4.8 Limit Values for CmK Calculation You can enter the limit values in two different ways: either as an absolute value or as per- cent of the average.
11.5.5 Measurement Procedure Depending on each set measurement method, you can carry out single or series meas- urements wherein a measurement series is made up of 5-100 consecutive single meas- urements. At the beginning of each measurement a zero point comparison is carried out i.e. over 50 values a positive and a negative zero point deviation is determined which can be sub- tracted from the relevant maximum value.
You can cancel the measurement manually at any time by pressing the button STOP MEASURING. Image 28: Manual cancellation of a single measurement by automatic signal recognition You have to press the button STOP MEASURING to end measurement in manual signal recognition mode.
11.5.5.2 Series Measurement When you have selected a measurement method the question START NEW SERIES? appears. Image 30: Security query at start of Series Confirm start by pressing START MEASURING again. The question prevents the acciden- tal start of a new series after the end of one series. The individual measurements run as described in chapter 11.5.5.1 single measurement.
The series can also be cancelled when a measurement fails or is aborted. Below the result of the last measurement a statement is displayed. Image 32: End of a Series 11.5.5.2.1.1 Measurement Results and Statistics The measurement results of the single measurements are only shown not saved. The re- sults of the series are stored until a new series is started or the measurement device is switched off.
11.5.5.2.1.2 Results List Here a list of all measurement results of the last series can be displayed. If there are more than nine results press the arrow buttons on the right hand side to see the rest of the re- sults.
11.5.5.2.1.4 Statistics Here you find a list of the following values: amount of values minimum value maximum value average standard deviation absolute and as percentage of the average CmK value Image 36: Display of the Measurement Range Statistics...
11.5.5.3 Instantaneous Value Measurement Set the CURRENT VALUE as measurement method. When you press START MEASUR- ING on the main screen the display for current measurement appears. When you press START MEASURING the measured torque is shown on an analogue scale.
12 Measuring Ranges You can use a measurement device from DEPRAG or there is also the possibility of using a transducer from a different manufacturer. The following stated measurement ranges are valid for the DEPRAG transducers. 12.1 Strain Gauge Transducer (DMS) The measurement instrument ME5600 has five measuring ranges for strain-gauge (DMS) measuring platforms / transducers from DEPRAG.
12.3 Torque Transducer with Rotating Shaft The measurement instrument ME5600 has six measuring ranges for torque transducers with rotating shafts from DEPRAG. The measuring ranges will be rounded up or down to the first decimal place. Measuring Range 1: 2 N·m Measuring Range 2: 5 N·m...
