33035 SpotSee ShockWatch Flex Single Tube Impact Indicators, 75G Range, 100/Box
ShockWatch Flex impact indicators
are a flexible impact indicator optimized for mounting to an irregular shaped surface
ensuring the indicator will stay in place. The Flex is ideal for
monitoring tools or equipment that can become misaligned, lose
calibration or damaged if mishandled.
ShockWatch Flex impact indicators are highly visible,
mechanically-activated devices that turn bright red when an impact
occurs. These solutions are ideal when you need to know if product
mishandling may have resulted in misalignment, loss of product
calibration or warranty-related repair issues
The single ShockWatch Flex impact indicators have one tube and will
provide nearly 360 degrees of detection. The ShockWatch double Flex
impact indicator has two tubes and gives a full 360 degrees of
detection. ShockWatch Flex impact indicators are mainly used either
embedded or attached to the exterior of handheld and calibrated
products.
Lost Calibration for measurement equipment
Products such as measurement equipment, gyroscopes, weaponry or
medical devices require precise calibration in order to operate
properly. Impacts can result in misalignment of critical components.
ShockWatch Flex impact indicators indicate if an impact has been
experienced that could potentially result in misalignment and the need
for recalibration.
Warranty Abuse
Most companies offer a warranty period during which non-functioning
products are repaired or replaced at no cost to the end-user. Service
calls involve labour costs of making repairs and overseeing
administrative processes, spare parts costs and the costs associated
with unhappy customers.
In order to monitor for mishandling, ShockWatch Flex impact
indicators can be integrated into or mounted on the product. These
devices are excellent tools to improve customer handling and reduce
warranty costs associated with mishandling.

ShockWatch Flex Impact Indicators Selection
To select the proper activation levels, determine if shock
specifications exist for the product to be monitored. Most complex
electro-mechanical products such as hard drives, avionics, analysis
instruments, etc. have been through extensive testing to establish shock
damage boundary data. If this information is available, the selection
process is quite simple. Select the Flex type and sensitivity to match.
Impact / Drop testing can assist in selecting the most suitable g force.
