Plug and Play Adapter System

Connect any load cell or force gage through a standardized, precision interface with the PMLD-5000XLT. The plug and play adapter system allows for quick and efficient changeovers without tools! Choose from the standard set of universal adapters or send the specifications of your device to Norton Global for a custom engineered adapter!

Plug and Play Load Cell and Force Gage Adapter System

How it works:

1. Connect the universal receiver to the load frame and calibration standard
2. Connect the appropriate universal adapters to the load cell
3. Insert the load cell with adapters into the universal receivers
4. Insert the machine pins into the through holes
5. Adjust the frame to eliminate any preload
6. Begin calibration process
