ForceCheck gauges from TAC Rockford are for preventive maintenance on machine tools, such as the power draw-bar spindle interface, chucks/turning-centers, and other machining applications. Since some spindles and turning-centers are standard, and other force measuring requirements might be unique, we offer an expansive product line of gauges to suit the needs for anyone in the machine tool industry.
Turning-Center Force
Turning-center force sensors are designed to measure the holding force of clamp jaws on chucks. This allows manufacturers to make critical adjustments, and improve repeatability and workpiece quality. The wireless version of the chuck force gauge is able to measure RPM along with force.
Machine-Integrated
The machine-integrated drawbar force gauge automates drawbar force measurement. With a wireless force sensor stored in the tool changer, a machine can periodically automatically check the drawbar without stopping production. Drawbar force is returned to the machine control via a wireless receiver, automatically alerting the operator if insufficient force is detected.
Wireless
The ForceCheck wireless drawbar force gauge is based on the same technology as the industry-leading ForceCheck gauge. With the added convenience of wireless operation, larger machines and hard-to-reach spindles are easier to check.
