DESCRIPTION
Magtrol’s Model 6400 Torque Transducer Display is designed
specifically for use with all TM, TMHS and TMB Torque
Transducers. This easy-to-use device powers the transducer
and utilizes high speed Digital Signal Processing (DSP) to
display torque, speed, mechanical power and direction of
rotation.
The 6400 can be used as a basic display, as an interface with
Magtrol TM Software or on the production line using its
pass/fail feature. The unit includes an auxiliary analog input
for the option of testing with an additional transducer and a
special tare function to help offset any slight residuals caused
by couplings or suspended loads. The 6400 also has IEEE-488
and RS-232 interface capabilities, allowing a PC-controlled
environment that can yield high data acquisition rates of up
to 100 torque and speed readings per second. With Magtrol's
TM Software (sold separately), the data for torque, speed
and mechanical power can be automatically collected, saved,
displayed graphically, printed or exported.
PASS/FAIL MOTOR TESTING
The Model 6400 comes with an easy-to-use motor testing
Pass/Fail feature. This feature is ideal for quick pass/fail
(go/no go) testing in production and incoming inspection
applications.
When the 6400 is operated in the Pass/Fail mode, one of
three readings is used as the tested parameter: torque, speed
or auxiliary transducer. The two parameters not used are set
with user defined upper and lower acceptable limits. As the
motor is loaded to the tested parameter value (for example,
speed), the other two parameters (in this case, torque and
transducer) will indicate PASS or FAIL. The display will show
pass or fail, or can be toggled to display the actual values.
