Measure wire crimp pull forces accurately and efficiently with the portable and customizable WT-205 tester. Easily apply up to 200 lbf (1,000 N) of force via an ergonomic lever. The tester’s standard adjustable terminal fixture contains multiple slots for diameters up to AWG 3 (0.25 in [6.3 mm]), while the self-tightening wedge grip securely clamps the free end of the cable.
A backlit graphic LCD displays real-time force, peak force, unit of measurement, and pass/fail indicators. Green and red pass/fail indicators may also be used. A load bar on the display shows when an overload is approaching.
Transfer data to a PC or other data collector via USB, RS-232, Mitutoyo (Digimatic), or analog outputs. The WT-205 stores up to 1,000 readings and calculates statistics. Upon sample break, the tester can automatically save and output the peak force and auto-zero in preparation for the next test, increasing testing efficiency.
Use free MESUR® Lite data acquisition software to tabulate continuous or single point data. Data stored in the tester’s memory can also be downloaded in bulk. One-click export to Excel allows for further data manipulation.
To accommodate a wide range of materials, optional and interchangeable alternative grips are available. Samples can be sent to Mark-10 for evaluation and recommendation prior to purchase.
