Mastering Force Gauges With Mark-10

Force Gauges With Mark-10

A force gauge is frequently used for products that consumers might interact with, such as cereal boxes that certain individuals might find difficult to open due to excess glue. A spring’s load-bearing capability test would serve as another illustration. Here are several manufacturing areas that have already mastered the force gauge among the many uses for force testing in compression and tension.

Pharmaceutical and medical

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to purchase a vitamin that you couldn’t chew? Fortunately, you won’t likely encounter this problem (unless you forget your dentures). All of your drugs and medical devices go through intensive testing to ensure that they are safe and easy for the average person to use, yet if not for force gauges, situations like this might actually happen. This is a short list of uses that the biological sciences have identified for force gauges:

Sutures are the “thread” used to stitch you up. Their strength is measured in tablet crushing. “Sutures and stitches are frequently used interchangeably. It’s vital to remember that the term “suture” refers to the actual medical instrument that is used to close the wound. Your doctor will sew the incision shut using this method. -(Healthline)

• Force of Needle Penetration
• Needle Breaking Power
• the wires and tubing’s tensile strength
• There is break detection in the Mark 10 M7 Force Gage.

The break detection mechanism detects when a sample has broken, clicked, slipped, or experienced another peak force before falling by a predetermined percentage.

The gauge can carry out a number of automatic tasks after detecting a break, including capturing the peak, saving the peak, and halting the movement of a test stand. Because it can provide a reading of 14,000hz/s, the Series 7 can do this. giving you the capacity to precisely quantify breaks.

Electronics

We spend a significant portion of our time gazing at and interacting with devices that weren’t even invented one hundred years ago. Using a force gauge, anything from laptops to cell phones to microprocessors may be evaluated. How? Force/compression testing can be used to evaluate laptops and screens. A test to determine when a screen fractures and creates the notorious not-so-beautiful spider is an effective illustration of this. Another is measuring the amount of force required to register a touch on a screen.

Even basic wires can be checked in a variety of ways, and some tests, such as the keycap test, can be used to assess the force required to press the button down on your keyboard. The M7 may be set up to do a number of functions, including automatically transmitting the peak reading after an event is over and zeroing the display. Click here to purchase an M7 force gauge.

• Electronics force tests.
• Forced switch activation
• activation upon keycap press
• Testing the draw out of wires and wire strength with a wire crimp
• Component pull-off testing involves a circuit or motherboard component that can be removed.
• A bend test
• Packaging

What if a dab of glue enabled you to save someone millions of dollars every year? According to a tale I heard, the distinction between a blob of glue and the shape it was in allowed millions of dollars to be saved. The choice between a blob of glue and a tiny form for the box’s seal came down to how readily the item could be opened while also remaining intact throughout transportation. According to the results of this experiment, less glue in the proper shape can withstand the same amount of force and be opened with equal ease. Compared to the blob of glue they were using before, this saved them millions of dollars each year. Looking for a new “glue” solution? Please get in touch with us; we have a force test specialist (who, regrettably, is not a Jedi). Here are some further applications for force gauges in packaging:

• force test for opening
• Bottle Cap removal experiment
• bursting test
• crushing test
• Test for adhesive strength
• package strength test, peeling force
• Highlight Feature
• mode for external triggers (requires a test stand)

When an application needs to evaluate a lot of samples, this capability comes in handy. For instance, if a packing plant had to test 100 samples each week, they could build up their testing setup so that a single button could be pressed by the operator to run the test, export the results, and reset the test stand for the following test.

Ensuring that the operator can easily and quickly use your procedure. Get a force test stand and gauge from Mark-10 to automate all of your processes. Just fasten to the stand to begin testing. Contact us if you want to use a force gauge and stand to improve your process!

Review

There are many more industries on this list that we did not mention that use force tests to master the quality of their products, therefore mastering force testing need not be difficult. If you’re unsure whether a force gauge would be useful for you, get in touch with us so we can determine whether destructive testing, break testing, bend testing, pull testing, or any other sort of force test would be appropriate. The cost of high-quality goods continues to rise, and one essential component of quality is making sure that your items function as they should.
