Model WT-205M
Wire Crimp Pull Tester
Measure wire crimp pull forces up to 200 lbF [1 kN] accurately and efficiently with the WT-205M motorized pull tester. Portable and customizable, the tester conforms to numerous UL, ISO, ASTM, SAE, MIL, and other requirements for destructive and non-destructive testing.
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. Programmable pass/fail limits with red and green indicators and audio alerts help identify non-conforming samples.
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. 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. The WT-205M stores and calculates statistics for up to 2,000 readings, with available date and time stamps for each saved data point. Data can be transferred to a PC or other data collector via USB, RS-232, Mitutoyo (Digimatic), or analog outputs.
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. The available Profiles function allows the user to create and save test setups for quick recall.
The WT-205M includes MESUR® Lite data acquisition software. MESUR® Lite tabulates continuous or single point data. One-click export to Excel allows for further data manipulation.
