Tensile strength tester Alluris FMT-W40

The Alluris FMT-W40 motorised wire-terminal pull-tester is designed for crimped wire terminal testing according to IPC/WHMA-A-620, UL 486, ASTM B913, USCAR 21, EN 2591-417, MIL-STD 202-H, NASA 8739-4 and many more relevant standards. Two versions of the FMT-W40 are available in capacities of either 500N (110 lbf) or 1000N (220 lbf) To ensure the best repeatability and accuracy it is essential when pull-testing wired connectors that there is no jerking or sudden application of force. This is the reason why test standards state that there should be a 'constant rate of pull' and most define a fixed speed at which tests should be performed. The only practical way to achieve repeatability for such pull force tests is by using a motorised pull tester. The FMT-W40 is easy to use and eliminates operator inconsistencies, making it ideal for type-approval testing. There are seven user-selectable speed options from 10 to 200 mm/min, covering all common pull-rates stipulated in the test standards. A further benefit to reproducibility is provided by three selectable modes for destructive and non-destructive tests: pull and break (destructive) pull and hold (non-destructive) pull, hold and break (destructive) The crimp receptacle fixture has 12 slots ranging in width from 0.5 – 6 mm covering AWG 8-30 for quick and easy loading of the terminal. Data can be stored and transmitted to optional software for generating a test report. This portable and compact benchtop instrument is ideal for efficient and reliable quality control testing of crimped wire terminals right at the point-of-production.
