OPTICAL STRESS
MEASUREMENT
EQUIPMENT
SV-x000 Strain Viewer
Used for:
Visual inspection of stresses in glass and plastic.
The SV-1000/2000/3000 Strain Viewer is a polariscope suitable for inspection of residual strain.It can be set up horizontally or vertically.
Application:
- Thermoformed packaging
- Medical components
- Automotive components
Principle of operation:
In clear and translucent polymers, the strains appear as a colourful fringe patterns. Quantitative measurements can also be obtained for many applications with an optional compensator.
In production, this simple test can quickly identify defective parts and alert opera- tors to adjust process parameters..
Features:
The procedure is non-destructive and can be used on flat and curved samples.
Technical characteristics:
With circular polarizers the stresses are properly observed regardless of specimen position or orientation.
Different sizes are available.
