Cost Effective Micro-Tensile Tester
One of the significant properties of the SMAC range of linear actuators is the ability to apply a known force whilst registering position, which led to the provision of a micro-tensile test station.
The unique solution provided by SMAC is quickly becoming the defacto switch test solution for a number of large component suppliers to the automotive industry around the world.
This is due to the ability to provide a relatively low cost 'off the shelf' system that can be easily customised to provide: Force and position feedback in a single integrated unit.
The ability to capture and plot data to enable precise measurement of force versus position.
To be able to verify hysteresis and switch differential.
To provide a single unit / solution that performs both life test and qualitative test at the same time.
The unique ability of the SMAC Electric Actuators to be able to quantify and replicate the feel and touch of human fingers more accurately and precisely than humans themselves.
To deliver 100% data provision for SPC and quality inspection systems to comply with ISO / TS16949 standards.
Until the introduction of the SMAC Electric Actuators solution providers were using a variety of standard pneumatic devices along with ball screws and unreliable load cells.
Both difficult and expensive to build and maintain.
The SMAC switch test solution is provided in a single, compact designed unit for easy installation and maintenance.
The SMAC solution is easily programmed via a NI LabVIEW program module. Request a free brochure from SMAC Europe ...
