The Imada ACT-220 Automatic Wire Crimp Tester with Load Holding is designed to measure the strength of wire crimps, up to 220 lbf (1000 N). Standard load-holding feature allows pulls to set a target load and holds it for a user set amount of time for non-destructive testing.
The tester conforms with UL 486A-B as well as other ASTM, MIL, ANSI/EIA, NASA, IEC and JIS crimp testing standards. See the specifications table for more details.
The wire terminal grip has 12 slots which accommodate wire diameters from 18 AWG to 1 AWG (1-8 mm OD). Smaller test fixtures are also available.
Simplify Your Wire Crimp Testing
Press the green button to automatically test a crimped on wire terminal. After the test is completed, the tester will automatically return to the starting position. The peak force is held on the display and pass fail LED indicators allow for easy GO/NO GO testing. Each reading saved into memory has a date and time stamp. Up to 1,500 results can be saved and recalled from memory. Test configuration is intuitive. Select units, destructive or non destructive testing, hold duration, hold value (non-destructive) and test speed. Save up to 26 individual wire crimp test profiles in the internal memory for quick and efficient testing of multiple sample types.
