Mild Steel Three Phase Terminal mechanical integrity test equipment

Product Details

CKINSTO Terminal Mechanical Integrity Test Equipment   The CKINSTO Terminal Mechanical Integrity Test Equipment is a comprehensive, multi-station test system designed to evaluate the physical and electrical durability of wire connectors, lugs, and terminals. Engineered to meet and exceed the requirements of national and international standards like UL 486A-B, IEC 60947-7-1, and others, this apparatus is a cornerstone for quality assurance in the electrical components industry. This single, integrated system consolidates multiple critical tests to provide a full evaluation of a terminal's integrity, ensuring long-term safety and performance. Key Features and Test Capabilities: 1. Secureness Test (Flexing & Bending Endurance) Purpose: Simulates the repeated mechanical stress a terminal may face in service, such as vibration or cable movement. Functionality: The apparatus automatically subjects the wire-terminal connection to a specified number of flexing cycles at a controlled rate (e.g., 10 RPM), all while under a specific tensile load. Pass/Fail Criteria: An integrated continuity monitoring circuit detects any interruption in the electrical connection. The test automatically stops if a failure occurs, providing a precise cycle count. 2. Pull-Out Force Test (Tensile Strength)   Purpose: Measures the ultimate tensile strength of the connection to ensure the wire is held securely and will not pull out under expected or unexpected forces. Functionality: A high-precision load cell applies a controlled, increasing pull-out force to the conductor at a specified rate until the connection fails. Data Capture: The system records the peak force at which the conductor disengages, providing a critical metric for connection quality. 3. Temperature Rise Test (Thermal Performance) Purpose: Evaluates the thermal performance of the terminal under load to ensure it does not overheat and compromise the integrity of the connection or surrounding components. Functionality: The apparatus can be integrated with a current source to pass a specified current through the terminal. Thermocouples measure the temperature rise of the terminal and its conductor under this electrical load, verifying compliance with temperature limits. Compliance: This test is essential for compliance with standards like IS 1293 and IEC 60884, which are vital for terminal and connector certification. Integrated System Design:  Robust Construction: Built with a heavy-duty, powder-coated Mild Steel (MS) or stainless steel frame to ensure stability and durability for continuous testing.   Versatile Fixtures: The system includes a comprehensive set of interchangeable clamping jaws, weights, and fixtures to test a wide range of conductor sizes and terminal designs. Advanced Control: A single PLC-based HMI touchscreen provides an intuitive interface for controlling all test parameters, including cycle count, force application, temperature monitoring, and test duration. Safety Features: Equipped with essential safety features such as an emergency stop button, over-force protection, and safety interlocks on all moving parts.
