WT-205M Wire Crimp Pull Tester
Manufactured by Mark-10
The WT-205M conforms to numerous wire crimp pull test standards, including ASTM, ISO, MIL, SAE, and UL requirements for destructive and non-destructive testing. It can accurately and efficiently measure live and peak wire crimp force pull values up to 1 kN.
Critical in industries like aerospace and consumer electronics for quality testing wire terminal strength, the tester’s standard adjustable terminal fixture contains multiple slots for diameters up to AWG 3 (0.25 in [6.3 mm]).
Programmable pass/fail limits with red and green indicators and audio alerts help identify non-conforming samples. Upon sample break, the tester can auto-reverse, save and output the peak force, and auto-zero in preparation for the next test, increasing testing efficiency.
Benefits
- Portable and customisable design.
- Pull to break, pull to load, or maintain a load for a specified period of time (optional functions), as per the requirements of UL 486A/B.
- Self-tightening wedge grip securely clamps the free end of the cable.
- Stores and calculates statistics for up to 2,000 readings, with available date and time stamps for each saved data point.
- Measures real-time and peak force values.
- Selectable test speed, w/high speed approach and reverse.
- Data can be transferred to a PC or other data collector via USB, RS-232, Mitutoyo (Digimatic), or analogue outputs.
- Available Profiles function allows the user to create and save test setups for quick recall.
- MESUR®Lite data acquisition software tabulates continuous or single point data.
- One-click export to Excel allows for further data manipulation.
- Password protection protects unauthorised changes.
- To accommodate a wide range of materials, optional and interchangeable alternative grips are available.
- Save and recall up to 500 profiles for various test requirements (optional function).
- Pull to a specified load or maintain load for a specified period of time, as per UL 486A/B (optional functions).
- Date / time stamp for all saved data (optional function).
- Three year warranty.
- Supported by AML in the UK.
The WWT-205M pull tester for crimped wires includes the following accessories:
- 1 x Power cord
- 1 x USB cable
- 1 x Certificate of calibration without data.
Important: Mark-10 equipment (other than the gauges) features open-access calibration. This means calibration adjustments are not locked out, giving you the freedom to use any standard-compliant calibration laboratory of your choice, saving you time and reducing lifetime ownership costs.
