Industry Product Tested Test Type

The successful design and production of mechanical components requires careful attention to be paid to many elements, such as material combinations and machining capabilities. Assembly activities include making all necessary checks and adjustments, to ensure the components are correctly orientated, positioned and aligned, that moving parts have the correct working clearances, all fasteners are tightened to the correct torque, and that the assembled parts are checked for completeness and function as per the specification.

Quality-control checks for assembled components often revolve around their mechanical strength and ability to withstand stresses and strains during their operation over a product lifecycle. Using Mecmesin force and torque measurement equipment is a cost-effective way of performing those QC checks. Applications are endless, whether it be testing the extraction force of an assembled Euro coin, the snap-off force of a diamond-edged cutting wheel or the separation force of a bullet from its cartridge.
