PullTester 326

Motorized testing device with 3 force ranges and 2 pulling speeds for destructive and non-destructive pull force tests up to 2000N (450 lbf.).

Overview

The PullTester 326 is a triple-range, motorized benchtop device for measuring pull forces of crimp connections as well as welded connections. The triple-range capability gives the PullTester 326 incredible application flexibility to handle a wide variety of testing applications.

Simple LCD display for easy programming and digital pull force read out
Speed-controlled motor for consistent pull rates throughout the measuring range
3 selectable force ranges for improved accuracy over a wider range of wires
4 selectable test modes for destructive and non-destructive testing
Job memory for loading test parameters and extracting test results for statistical analysis
RS 232 interface for curve analysis with WinCrimp statistical software

Application Range

Schleuniger’s PullTester 326 is a triple-range, motorized, benchtop unit designed to measure pull test forces of crimp and ultrasonic weld connections on a wider range of wires than single-range pull test devices. Pull test values are critical parameters for quality control and assurance. The PullTester 326 can also perform non-destructive tests (hold to a specified force). This versatile machine has three measuring ranges, which are individually calibrated. The standard measuring ranges are 200 N, 1,000 N, and 2,000 N (45 lbf., 225 lbf., 450 lbf.), however, other variations are available by special order. This triple-range capability ensures the highest accuracy for the widest range of applications. Hand actuated or pneumatic pull test devices can give inconsistent data depending on the operator or pull rate. Some standards specify that a test device must pull with a consistent rate. The Schleuniger PullTester 326 is equipped with a speed-controlled motor, ensuring consistent pull rates throughout the measuring range, resulting in repeatable and accurate data. Pull forces can be measured in poundforce, Newtons or kiloponds. The standard 14-position terminal holder accommodates a wide variety of terminals to suit most applications. A variety of terminal holders, however, are available upon request.
