MF100 USB Sensor Interface
The MF100 USB Sensor Interface is a compact, high-accuracy module designed to connect third party strain-gauge load cells, force sensors, and torque sensors directly to a PC via USB. It converts the sensor’s analogue signal into a stable digital output, making it ideal for laboratories, quality control teams, production lines, and R&D environments that require repeatable and traceable measurements.
The MF100 supports a wide range of force and torque sensor capacities, from low-load measurements to high-capacity industrial applications. A built-in screw terminal block enables quick, solder-free wiring of compatible strain-gauge sensors, simplifying integration into new or existing test setups.
Unlike basic USB adaptors, the MF100 offers precision signal conditioning, digital filtering and real-time acquisition, ensuring consistent results even during demanding test sequences. When paired with MESUR®Flex software, users can configure sensor capacity and resolution, run a guided multi-step calibration, log data, generate reports, monitor trends, and export results instantly for further analysis.
Key Features
- Direct USB connectivity: Simple plug-and-play interface for transferring force, torque, or strain-gauge signals to a PC.
- Wide compatibility: Supports force and torque sensors, as well as external full-bridge, 4-wire strain-gauge sensors.
- Screw terminal block: Quick, solder-free connection of sensor wires for flexible system configuration.
- High-stability signal processing: Precision amplification and digital filtering ensure accuracy during dynamic or fluctuating loads.
- Robust & compact design: Suitable for fixed workstations or portable field use.
Key Benefits
