During the commissioning of a high‑speed assembly line, automation engineers rely on precise force feedback to validate the operation of pneumatic and electric actuators. The Strunk Messtechnik force measurement system is installed directly behind the actuator housing, where its transducer converts the mechanical load into an electrical signal that the controller reads through the PC interface. Engineers use the supplied documentation to integrate the sensor into the PLC program, enabling real‑time monitoring of clamping pressure, tool‑press force, or material handling load. The power‑supply case provides a stable excitation source, while interchangeable accessories allow quick mounting on rods, pistons, or test benches. By logging force data on a workstation, the system supports automatic calibration routines, fault detection, and preventive maintenance without interrupting production. Plant operators can also employ the same unit for periodic verification of hydraulic presses, ensuring that the setpoint forces match design specifications. In practice, the sensor becomes the link that translates a physical push or pull into actionable control information, allowing the automation system to adjust speed or trigger safety interlocks when thresholds are exceeded.
