Tester meets top-load packaging standards
Mecmesin's Top-Load Tester has the load capacity and speed range to meet the requirements of relevant Standards such as ASTM D2659-89 and DIN 55440-1:99
A particularly effective technique for the routine evaluation of both the quality of crimping tools and individual crimped joints is to make use of a tensile test system based upon a force gauge, motorised test stand and specially-designed gripping fixtures.
A rotating crimp receptacle, when used in conjunction with a Mecmesin Advanced Force Gauge, an UltraTest (the new motorised test stand from Mecmesin) and a single-cam cable grip, is suitable for testing to the requirements of BS5G178 Part 1.
The rotating crimp receptacle can accept eight cable sizes from 1.5mm to 5mm.
The budget-priced UltraTest has a load capacity of 1000 newtons, and a speed range of 12.5 to 500mm/min, which easily encompasses the 25 to 50 mm/min value usually specified for this type of pull-off testing. Request a free brochure from Mecmesin ...
