Calibration

"Calibration" is the operation of matching the TM201
with UTM

.

This operation is performed on the "Calibration" tab of
the PC application.
The following two kinds of calibration methods are
available for the TM201.
The calibration in the sensor type setting is the equivalent input calibration; normally, only this is
used.
Refer to P.29 "4-3.Procedures of equivalent input calibration and actual load calibration (torque)"
when performing the actual load calibration.

„

Equivalent input calibration

In this calibration method, only the rated output value (V) and the rated capacity value (one to be
displayed) of UTM

 are input. This method does not involve actual load. Calibration can be easily

performed even when actual load cannot be applied.

For example, the gain is automatically determined by entering the following values:

In case of UTM

-0.1Nm:

5.000V

0.100Nm

In case of UTM

-2Nm:

5.000V

2.000Nm

In case of UTM

-50Nm:

5.000V

50.00Nm

In case of UTM

-100Nm:

5.000V

100.00Nm

„

Actual load calibration

In this calibration method, the known torque load is applied onto UTM

 and the torque is input. 

Accurate calibration with minimal error can be performed. 

* Only actual load calibration or equivalent input calibration can be performed.

If actual load cannot be applied, make sure to perform the equivalent input calibration
only.
