ShockWatch Tube-1

ShockWatch® Impact Indicators for Products ShockWatch provides a variety of impact indicators for products to determine accurately if mishandling was damaging to your product. Impact Indicators for Products ShockWatch impact indicators are highly visible, mechanically-activated devices that turn bright red when an impact occurs. The ShockWatch tube can be incorporated directly into a product’s design. The ShockWatch Clips and Multi-G provide the tube in a convenient housing for adhering the impact sensor directly to a product, while the Flex gives you the ability to mount the indicator to products with a more complicated shape. These solutions are ideal when you need to know if product mishandling may have resulted in misalignment, loss of product calibration, or warranty-related repair issues. Clips: Single and Double The ShockWatch Clip is a highly visible impact indicator that alerts you if your product has been subjected to unacceptable handling. The single Clip has one tube and will provide nearly 360 degrees of detection. The double Clip has two tubes and gives a full 360 degrees of detection. Clips may be embedded or attached to the exterior of products. Flex: Single and Double The Flex, a flexible variation of the Clip, can be mounted easily to curved and irregular shapes, ensuring the indicator will remain in place. Multi-G Clips An impact diagnostic tool for packaging engineers, distribution analysts, product designers, and manufacturing engineers. The Multi-G incorporates three sensitivity levels into a single unit to indicate a low, medium, and high impact. It can be used to determine package sensitivity during drop testing. Benefits • Provides indisputable evidence of mishandling • Acts as a visual deterrent to improper handling • Promotes chain of accountability for all product handling • Confirms effectiveness of p

ShockWatch Tube-2

Selection Selection of a Clip, Flex, or Multi-G solution begins with understanding the product to be monitored. To select the proper activation levels, determine if shock specifications exist for the product to be monitored. Most complex electromechanical products have been through extensive testing to establish shock damage boundary data. When this information is available, simply select the corresponding sensitivity. Activation graphs are available to best match the damage boundary of your product to the most suitable Clip, Flex, or Multi-G. If shock specifications do not exist for the product...
