Durometer Hardness Testers
-
IMADA, Inc., provides accurate measuring devices for every need. Some of the many high-quality instruments we manufacture are durometers. Durometers are important to the manufacturing sector because they measure the hardness of materials. These include normal and hard rubber, as well as soft and hard plastics, by assessing the resistance to indentation of polymers, elastomers, and rubbers. They do this by applying pressure to the surface of an object via an indentor and measuring the level of resistance. The results are expressed in terms of the Shore hardness scale, which varies based on the materials.

Food Testers
-
These automated food testers are designed for clean, smooth trouble-free operation.Food Rheology testers automatically test firmness, elasticity or viscosity using a load cell combined with programmable movement control. The easy-to-use program dial and menu screens control probe positioning and speed. Select from three movement patterns. The USB port streams 1,000 force data/second to the Force Data Analysis Software (included).

Force Displacement Testers
-
Force displacement testing measures how much force is required to displace or deform a specific component or material. It’s an important aspect of quality control in manufacturing as well as material science. It’s necessary to help ensure products are made to the proper standards and to verify the properties of certain materials. Imada provides a range of force displacement testers that provide precise and accurate measurements, with numerous features to help technicians complete testing as quickly and effectively as possible.

Tension Testers
-
Tension testers come in a variety of options. Lever-operated testers allow for quick and repeatable tension testing, making them ideally suited for measurement in high-throughput environments. The wheel-operated tensions tester allows for more precise control, which is critical whenever testing delicate materials. Our motorized tension tester provides consistent test speeds providing more accurate and repeatable results.

Product
Surface Speed Meter
-
Consists of an industrial grade heavy-duty surface speed encoder with metal housing and large bearings and a digital indicator. The system delivers repeatable and accurate measurements of surface speed. The dual, anti-slip rubber rimmed wheels are perfect for measuring paper, plastic, laminates and other smooth finish materials.

Digital Force Gauges
-
Imada digital force gauges are highly accurate instruments that provide the precise force measurement required in quality testing that determines strength and/or functionality of a part or product. Digital gauges can be used for destructive or non-destructive force measurement applications and check both compression and tension (push or pull) forces. The high sampling rate of Imada digital gauges enables them to capture the peak force of destructive tests which occurs in milliseconds. Imada digital force gauges also feature selectable units: lbf, kgf and N and easy-to-program high/low setpoints for Go/No Go testing.

Force Data Acquisition Software
-
SW-1X data acquisition software is for force gauges with RS-232 output.SW-2X data acquisition software is for collecting force and displacement data from RS-232 output force gauges, with a -s test stand.Force Recorder data acquisition software is for ZTS & ZTA force gauges with USB output. Force Recorder Pro collects both force and displacement data with ZTA gauge and FA test stand.

Strobes & Tachometers
-
Imada is proud to introduce a line of speed measurement instruments from Hoto Instruments. Stroboscopes can be used to measure the measure the linear rotational speed of rapidly rotating objects. Imada also offers a digital tachometer / lengthmeter. The tachometer / lengthmeter measures speed or revolutions and features exceptional accuracy even at low speeds. The tachometer can be paired with an optional 12″ wheel to measure the surface speed of conveyer belts and similar machinery.

Mechanical Force Gauges
-
Imada mechanical force gauges are highly accurate instruments used to test the quality, strength or functionality of component parts or products. Imada mechanical force gauges check both compression and tension (push or pull). Peak force can be captured using the peak indicator needle and the tare ring compensates for the weight of attachments. Imada force gauges are constructed with a heavy-duty metal case and all metal components to enable them to retain their calibration for years with proper care. These mechanical force gauges never need charging or batteries and are intrinsically safe in hazardous environments.

Motorized Test Stands
-
Imada offers basic and advanced motorized test stands that are available in Standard, High, and Low speeds.Use ZTS or ZTA force gauges with MX, MX2 or EMX Series test stands to enable force control and non destructive testing.

Breakaway Torque Tester
-
Automatic Breakaway Torque Tester can be used to verify the actual tightened torque of a bolt. Torque controlled power tools are set to apply consistent torque, but fasteners are not necessarily tightened to that value if the tools are out of calibration. Breakaway torque tests require a skilled, experienced operator to sense when the bolt begins to breakaway.
