Accuracy... for Component Manufacturing. Connectors, fittings, tubing, fasteners, wire, screws, springs, etc. are components used in everyday products. Measuring their ability to meet their physical requirements are important to the quality and life-cycle expectations for a product. FMS Series systems can determine break strengths and the sample’s characterstics at load and extension limit values and provide you with immediate pass/fail indication. Tensile, flexural, puncture and compression testing are important measurements that can help determine a component’s ability to meet its...
