Clamping force tester TESTit – Structure and function
4.2 Brief description
The holding force of a clamping device is a decisive
criterion in mechanical machining of components, ex-
cept for turning, milling or grinding. For massive struc-
tures the holding force should be very strong, with as
little loss of centrifugal force at high speed.
On the other hand, in machine tools increasingly thin-
walled work pieces are machined, which are already
contoured cast, forged or deep-drawn.
If something is clamped too tight, the delicate part can
deform.
The clamping force tester TESTit not only works per-
fectly in outer diameter and under rotation, but also
measures with internal diameters exactly the holding
force of mandrels. The clamping force values are
transferred via Bluetooth to the tablet with its appro-
priate software.
The clamping force tester TESTit may be used e. g.
for
