Digital Grip Force Analyzer Software & Kit

ANALYZING GRIPPING FORCE IN CNC LATHES AND TURNING CENTERS HAS ALWAYS BEEN DIFFICULT FOR MACHINE TOOL USERS UNTIL NOW

Introducing the new Digital Grip Force Analyzer Software and Kit, PC Version from Kitagawa NorthTech for machine tool users and machine shops. Improper gripping force and parts slipping in the chuck reduces cycle times, productivity and profits and causes safety issues. The new Digital Grip Force Analyzer software and kit allows users to easily, accurately and quickly analyze and measure grip force performance of their CNC lathes and turning centers via a desktop PC, laptop or tablet. If gripping force issues exist, users can take proactive and corrective measures to identify and solve these problems. Every machine shop can benefit from this indispensable tool and should have at least one or two Kitagawa’s Digital Grip Force Analyzer software kits available for everyday testing, monitoring and troubleshooting.
