Economical DST Series Digital Force Gauges Replace Preceding DS2 Series

Northbrook, IL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/18/2018 -- Imada, Inc. announces the release of the DST Series Digital Force Gauges, available for purchase now. These basic digital force gauges feature large backlit LCD displays and simplified menu operation for ease in testing across a wide range of compression and tension applications.

DST Series displays can be configured in basic format to show value, unit of measurement and measuring mode, or in multi-line format to display peak and real time values simultaneously. Gauges have an ultra-high 30,000/second sampling rate to accurately capture peak destructive force values. Collect data via USB or RS-232 connections with the optional Force Logger or SW-1X software.

Additional features include reversible display for normal and inverted measurement readings, as well as high/low setpoints with OK indicator for Go/No Go testing. The backlight can be turned off to conserve power.

- Large backlit LCD display
- 30,000/second ultra-high sampling rate
- Selectable real time or peak mode operation
- Programmable High/Low setpoints with OK indicator
- Overload capacity 200% F.S. (flashes at overload limit)

These gauges are ergonomic and durable, with a heavy-duty metal construction, security setting lock to prevent accidental changes and push-button tare function. DST Series Gauges run on internal Ni-MH batteries (user replaceable), AC power (via adapter) or USB chargers.

DST Series Digital Force Gauges are available in ranges from 0.4 lbf to 220 lbf and come with all the new features at the same price point as previous DS2 Series Gauges. DST kit includes set of six attachments, AC charger/adapter, calibration cert traceable to NIST and carrying case.

Single-button crimp tester now available for purchase through Imada, Inc.

Northbrook, IL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/08/2017 -- Imada, Inc., a manufacturer and nationwide distributor of force and torque measurement equipment, is pleased to announce a new addition to its line of wire crimp testers. Effective immediately, the company will now offer the ACT-220 Automatic Wire Crimp Tester alongside its range of manual and motorized wire crimp test systems.

The ACT-220 Automatic Wire Crimp Tester features a terminal grip with 12 slots, accommodating wire diameters from 1-8mm. The unit features easy-to-use menus for selecting unit of measurement, test speed, destructive or nondestructive testing, and hold duration, to simplify crimp test programming. An electro-luminescent (EL) display is easily seen in dark or bright locations. Additional features of the ACT-220 include:

- Force hold duration up to 999 seconds, in 1 second increments;
- Indicators for OK or NG;
- Selectable digital speeds of 10/25/50/100 mm/min;
- Automatic time and date stamping.

This fully-digital unit is capable of saving up to 26 individual wire crimp test profiles for frequently repeated tests. After programming, users need only to press a button to automatically test a crimped-on wire terminal. LEDs indicate OK or NG and peak force is retained on the display.

The robust set of features and relative ease of use of this automatic wire crimp tester make it a must-have for testing to different standards. Moreover, the fully-digital nature of this product enables saving and exporting force data for convenient record keeping.

The ACT-220 Automatic Wire Crimp Tester employs ACT Logger data acquisition software that downloads test results from the unit's memory bank. Up to 1,500 results can be saved and recalled from internal memory. All tester programming can be set from the software, including selectable units of measurement such as lbf, kgf, and N.

The ACT-220 Automatic Wire Crimp Tester is now available for purchase through the Imada, Inc. website. The full kit includes a terminal grip, wire cam grip, ACT Logger data acquisition software, USB cable, and a calibration certification through NIST.

Ratchet and adjustable models capture torque measurements up to 130 feet away.

Northbrook, IL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/12/2017 -- As it expands its line of digital torque wrenches, Imada, Inc. is pleased to welcome the addition of RGED Series wireless torque wrenches to its repertoire of torque testers.

RGED Series wireless digital torque wrenches capture and transmit peak data to included Torque Management software from up to 130 feet away. A single wireless receiver supports up to 10 wrenches, facilitating simpler torque audits with data collection at a single computer. When out of range, wrenches can store up to 200 data for future upload—syncing can restart as soon as wrenches are back in range of the receiver. Torque Management software keeps a log of all measurements, which can be exported in CSV format.

In the age of wireless technologies, these wrenches streamline torque auditing and data collection with the capability of multiple wrenches saving data to a single computer. This simplifies access to torque data by not having to combine data files from different sources and minimizes computer investment. Plus, these wrenches offer a robust range of capabilities, ensuring users get the quality data they need.

RGED Series wrenches measure in peak mode, peak with auto zero reset, and real time. Five programmable Go/No Go torque presets can be stored, allowing users to quickly access frequently used values. Presets alert the user with an intermittent signal at 90% and a continuous signal at 100% of preset torque using LED and audible indicators. Additional features of these wireless digital torque wrenches include:

- Rechargeable battery with charger;
- Pass/Fail counter with high/low set points;
- Selectable Units: lbf-in, kgf-cm, N-m;
- High accuracy +1.5% F.S. both CW and CCW.

RGED Series wireless torque wrenches are available in ratchet and adjustable models, with capacities up to 1770 lbf-in. Ratchet models are constructed with forged steel ratchet heads, positive-lock drives and 36-tooth gear with double claw ratchets. Adjustable wrenches feature specially designed jaws that maintain a constant working length, whether open or closed. Both models feature a power sensor embedded in their ergonomic handles, to accurately detect and analyze load applied to the grip, to enable precise torque measurement.

RGED Series wireless digital torque wrenches are now available for purchase through the Imada, Inc. website. Each wrench comes in a kit that includes a wireless receiver, Torque Management software, two lithium ion batteries and a charger, and carrying case. All wrenches hold a calibration certificate traceable to NIST. An optional ISO 17025 calibration certificate is also available.
