Wire strippers can be used to safely, quickly and reliably remove insulation from electrical wires of various thicknesses. To ensure a high level of operating comfort when using the wire strippers, the actuating force that the operator must apply should not be too great. When testing this force, a defined maximum value must not be exceeded.

Shear tests are used to determine whether the solder contacts between the switching contact and the component can withstand the high stresses to which they are subjected in practice, often with many millions of switching cycles. For this purpose, the component to be tested is clamped in a specially developed shearing device and subjected to a steadily increasing shearing force until the switching contact shears off.

By means of special devices it is possible to check the amount of force and path for actuating and releasing the buttons and for actuating the switches. 

Test system for tensile force tests on cables, cables with plugs, ferrules and cable lugs, which are installed in control cabinets. The testing system consists of the universal testing machine Inspekt table blue 20 kN with two load cells (20 kN and 3 kN), one TH170-50 wrap-around grips and a pair of wedge grips with clamping jaws for flat samples with saw tooth profile.
