EpsiMetal can better gauge your strains
Scaime of France, a specialist in strain-gauge sensors, has launched EpsiMetal - a high-level output (0-5V) miniature strain-gauge instrument with digital temperature compensation
EpsiMetal is easy to install and has a wide range of applications, whenever deformation and strain measurement is vital, from manufacturing and civil engineering to haulage The integral strain-gauge bridge, digitally adjustable by RS232, is designed to provide high-level output and compensation for thermal expansion on any material

Easy and reliable tank and silo weighing
SCAIME, a leader in the supply of load cells, presents a new solution for tank, silo and bulk weighing
The EpsiMetal flexibility gives it a measuring range of 1,000micron/m, with a resolution of at least 1micron/m, in tension or compression.
Thanks to a patented system of mechanical biases, 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.
