Measure wire crimp pull forces up to 200 lbF [1 kN] accurately and efficiently with the Mark-10 WT-205M Wire Crimp 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 Mark-10 WT-205M Wire Crimp Pull Tester 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 Mark-10 WT-205M Wire Crimp Pull Tester includes MESUR Lite data acquisition software. MESUR Lite tabulates continuous or single point data. One-click export to Excel allows for further data manipulation.
The Mark-10 WT-205M Wire Crimp Pull Tester accommodates most wire insulation materials. However, to ensure mechanical compatibility, we recommend sending wire samples to us for evaluation before purchase.

* Including insulation.To ensure the wire sample will fit into the WT-205M, measure the overall outside diameter of the insulated wire and check against the specified diameter range. Account for sample compressibility in making this determination.
Any of these optional functions may be purchased at time of order or may be enabled in the field at a later date through a simple activation process. A complete options package is also available, including all of the listed features at a discounted price. The tester is shipped in Demo Mode, during which time all available functions are enabled for 160 hours of operation.
