The HOGGAN wireless ErgoFET™ 500 is a digital force gauge that allows professionals in ergonomics, engineering, and safety to objectively assess and quantify human and product performance. This is beneficial for improving product quality and functionality, as well as increasing manufacturing efficiency and reducing costs associated with repetitive motion injuries and cycle time. The wireless ErgoFET™ 500 is perfect for job site and ergonomic analysis, NIOSH (The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) static strength testing, or any force measurement needs at the job site.
The wireless enabled ErgoFET™ 500 eliminates cables, cords, and wires. The ErgoFET™ 500 force gauge is a cost-effective, durable, and easy to use push and pull force gauge designed for a wide variety of force measurement applications. It measures peak force and timed 3-second average force when required. With two operating test modes, and four selectable threshold settings, the ErgoFET™ 500 is a highly versatile force gauge for any industrial measurement application. Available FET Data Collection software is compatible with Windows operating systems XP or newer.
