Performance You Can Trust
At MWS Wire Industries, our ISO certified quality laboratory serves two important functions:
Precision Testing
Foremost, it ensures that all of our products hold up to our own internal quality standards, regulatory and industry standards, and the standards of our customers. The ownership of the quality of the wire we ship is a cornerstone of our business.
Custom Wire Validation
In addition to standard testing, our quality lab serves as a service and support center for our customers - a critical resource where we can help you design and verify the perfect solution for your unique application.
In our quality lab, MWS is not only able to test to industry standards, like NEMA MW 1000 or ASTM, but we can develop new and customer specific tests to support emerging technologies. We are constantly investing into new equipment, methods, and expertise in our laboratory to make sure we can support any type of wire engineering project.
VAS Wire is Assembly-Ready
Our quality lab is part of MWS Wire's Value Added Services - a suite of processes and technical capabilities that support your wire needs from development through production. Whether it's custom spooling, ablation, discreet lengths, or lab reports, MWS can prepare your wire to be assembly-ready for your downstream processes.
Wire Testing Capabilities
Dimensional Analysis
Contact and non-contact laser micrometer analysis, and cross-section optical measurements for concentricity, thickness, and corner radius measurements.
Mechanical Properties
Stress/strain analysis, tensile, yield, break strength values.
Electrical Properties
DC resistance, dielectric strength, capacitance, impedance, continuity of insulation, completeness of insulation cure, and TCR (temperature coefficient of resistance) measurements.
Thermal Properties
Thermoplastic flow, heat shock, insulation adherence, thermal endurance and solderability of insulations per NEMA MW 1000.
Reverse Engineering
Send us your specs or samples and we can determine what wire will meet the same specifications and performance factors.
Special Testing
MWS Wire can even custom build test equipment for your unique needs.
