New Heights in 100% Inspection.
Market leading precision tests for testing every weld or connection on your production line.
As electric mobility gains popularity, manufacturers are developing components for higher currents and voltages. Since even minuscule amounts of resistance can have a significant impact on energy efficiency and safety, more accurate quality control focusing on resistance is required. The Resistance Meter RM3545A facilitates accurate resistance measurements and is suitable for diverse applications in development and production lines.
- Manage connection quality in welded materials and other parts quantitatively
- Quantitatively verify weld quality and weld methods in EV power cables and other parts
- Use readings as indicators for thermal design and energy management
- Use accurate resistance measurements to simulate heat loss and energy efficiency
- Boost productivity by embedding the instrument in automatic test equipment
- Embed the instrument in a system without needing to worry about wiring resistance or contact resistance. The instrument is ideal for use in high-speed 100% inspections
Key Features
- 0.045% basic accuracy, 1 nΩ max. resolution, 1A max. testing current
- Measure from 1 nΩ (testing current 1 A) to 1200 MΩ
- Equipped with advanced features, ensuring precise resistance measurement (OVC, temperature measurement, and correction function)
- The RM3545A-2 can be equipped with up to two optional Z3003 Multiplexer Units, allowing it to measure up to 20 channels (using the 4-terminal method)
- High path resistance tolerance allows seamless integration into an automatic test system, eliminating concerns about wiring or contact resistance
- Advanced contact-check, comparator function, control, and communications features
