WT3-201M Motorized Wire Crimp Pull Tester

The WT-205M motorized wire terminal pull tester measures pull forces on wire terminals up to 200 lbF [1 kN] with accuracy and efficiency. Portable and customizable, this tester meets numerous UL, ISO, ASTM, SAE, MIL, and other standards for both destructive and non-destructive testing.

Perform pull-to-break tests, pull-to-load tests, or maintain a specified load for a set period of time (optional functions), in accordance with UL 486A/B requirements.

Programmable pass/fail limits, along with red and green indicators and audible alarms, help quickly identify non-conforming samples.

The standard adjustable terminal fixture features multiple slots for wire diameters up to AWG 3 (0.25 in [6.3 mm]), while the self-tightening wedge grip securely holds the free end of the wire. Optional interchangeable grips are available to accommodate a wide range of materials.

Samples may be submitted to CIENTEC for evaluation and recommendations prior to purchase.

The WT-205M stores and calculates statistics for up to 2,000 measurements, with optional date and time stamps available for each saved data point.

Data can be transferred to a PC or other data collection device via USB, RS-232, Mitutoyo (Digimatic), or analog outputs.

When a sample breaks, the tester can automatically reverse direction, save and transmit the peak force value, and auto-zero in preparation for the next test, increasing testing efficiency.

The optional Profiles function allows users to create and save test setups for quick access and repeatability.

The WT-205M includes MESUR® Lite data acquisition software. MESUR® Lite captures and tabulates either continuous or single-point data. With a single click, data can be exported to Excel for further analysis and processing.

Note: The WT-205M is compatible with most wire insulation materials.

However, to ensure mechanical compatibility, we recommend submitting wire samples for evaluation prior to purchase.

¿Qué es un Torquímetro? Un torquímetro es una herramienta de medición diseñada para aplicar y controlar un torque (o par de fuerza) específico al apretar tornillos, tuercas, pernos u otros elementos de fijación.

¿Qué mide un torquímetro?   Mide el par de torsión, es decir, la fuerza que se aplica para girar un elemento. Este torque se expresa generalmente en: N·m (Newton-metro), lb·ft (libra-pie), lb·in (libra-pulgada)
