Economical Load and Force System (ELF)

The Economical Load and Force System (ELF) is a very simple force measurement system consisting of electronics, a software package, and the FlexiForce model B101 variable resistance sensors. The ELF system is easy to use and cost-effective for various tool and ask analysis applications where force between the fingers and an object is to be measured. The products are also suited for return to work applications and job descriptions where actual job requirements need to be compared to the capabilities of a worker.
