From standard (CV) to maximum precision (S): Why two calibration methods make the difference
Three-axis force sensors measure forces in multiple spatial directions simultaneously – crosstalk is physically unavoidable in this process.
Through a combination of mechanical and electrical compensation, this crosstalk can already be reduced to less than 3% of the nominal load. Nevertheless, a certain residual value remains, which is proportional to the applied force and behaves reproducibly. To further increase measurement accuracy, ME-Meßsysteme also employs a mathematical compensation matrix. With this method, crosstalk in all axes can typically be reduced to less than 1%.
Therefore, customers receive two calibration certificates: one without a compensation matrix (type "cv") and one with a compensation matrix (type "s"). This allows you to select the optimal calibration method for your application, depending on your requirements.
