Imada – DST/DSV Basic Series

• DST Series: The perfect cost-effective core instrument, focusing on seamless real-time force tracking and quick toggle peak capture.

• DSV Series: Upgraded with an advanced internal tilt-sensing function to alert the user of angle deviations during handheld use, alongside built-in memory storing up to 1,000 statistical data points.

Core Technical Features & Operational Advantages

Designed to outlast standard testing equipment under harsh production conditions, every digital force gauge in our collection includes high-end circuitry engineered for reliable data logging and safety enforcement.

• Advanced Real-Time & Peak Hold Modes: Toggle instantly between continuous tracking mode and Peak Hold mode to capture maximum structural failure thresholds, component breakage points, or fast switch actuation values.

• Ultra-High Sampling Frequency: An internal sampling rate of 30,000 data points per second ensures you capture sudden destructive or break-away force spikes with absolute accuracy ($\pm 0.2\%$ Full Scale).

• Intelligent Overload Protection Mechanism: Built-in safeguards protect the underlying load cell from user error. An audible alarm triggers at $90\%$ capacity, and the display flashes aggressively beyond $110\%$ to prevent costly mechanical damage.

• Auto-Reversing Backlit LCD Screen: The bright, multi-line display features automated orientation sensors. If you invert the instrument upside down to mount it onto a vertical testing rig, the text instantly flips right-side up for seamless readability.

• Seamless Data Capture: Equipped with onboard connectivity ports to stream raw testing points or export profiles straight to a PC via integrated USB or RS232 data output using optional Force Logger software.

• Comprehensive Attachment Kit Included: Every unit ships in a protective hard carrying case complete with 6 standard test tips: flat head, cone head, V-notch anvil, chisel tip, tensile testing hook, and an extension rod.

Localized Applications: Built for New Zealand Industry Sectors

As a premier force gauge supplier in NZ, our units are factory-calibrated and fully traceable, making them compliant with the stringent testing, auditing, and reporting frameworks required by local enterprise.

1. Food Science & Texture Analysis (The Primary Industry Standard)

Maintained product consistency underpins New Zealand’s premium export market. Our low-capacity gauges (DST / DSV-2N and 5N) provide the refined resolution necessary for scientific agricultural labs, fruit packhouses, and food processing lines.

• Horticultural Ripeness: Puncture testing kiwi, apples, stone fruit, and berries to generate strict harvest and shipping readiness data.

• MPI Export Compliance: Gathering auditable meat tenderness, flesh shear force, and dairy profile measurements to fulfill Ministry for Primary Industries export documentation.

2. Export Packaging & Logistics (The Distance Survival Metric)

Goods leaving New Zealand ports face long ocean freight transit routes. Product packaging must survive extreme top-load stresses.

• Top-Load Crush Resistance: Quantifying the exact structural collapse point of plastic bottles, milk bladders, and corrugated export cartons using our heavy-duty 500N and 1000N series models.

• FMCG Seal Integrity: Measuring the exact peel force required to open pull-tab cans, blister packs, and vacuum-sealed food or pharmaceutical pouches.

3. WorkSafe NZ Compliance & Built Environment Audits

Field inspectors and commercial builders rely on handheld push/pull meters to protect human safety and enforce national building code accessibility laws.

• Barrier & Opening Forces: Auditing the exact closing and opening operational forces on institutional fire doors, automatic gates, and disability-access pathways.

• Height Safety Verification: Pull-testing heavy-duty fall-arrest anchors, structural eyelets, industrial harnesses, and marine rigging connections using our top-tier DST / DSV-1000N model.

4. Advanced Materials Testing & Agritech R&D

New Zealand’s crown research institutes (CRIs), engineering universities, and agritech manufacturing firms use our gauges hooked to test benches to evaluate structural boundaries.

• Component Integrity: Wire terminal crimp pull-testing, electronic circuit board solder joint shear testing, and industrial spring rate calibration.

• Tensile Limits: Evaluating elongation and tearing thresholds for high-grade agricultural silage films, commercial plastics, and construction barrier materials.
