SET-50

The Sharp Edge Tester is used for determining the sharpness of edges of electrical equipment and other consumer products. This meets Underwriters Laboratories 1439 and Society of Manufacturing Engineers requirements. It consists of a clam-shell type housing which fits into the palm of the hand. Features include a compact arm, sealed ball bearings to reduce friction and a spring which meets the latest UL force requirement. All moving mechanisms are protected against dirt and breakage.

The SET-50 is also used for compliance with US Federal regulations for consumer products. It can also be used for some Canadian regulations. The US Federal regulation is Title 16, Volume 2, Chapter 11, Part 1500.

Model SET-50: consists of the Sharp Edge Tester instrument.

Tape Caps model TC-3 are sold separately.   There are three pre-assembled tapes on a plastic cap which slips onto the tool for testing. This Tape Cap meets the UL requirement of three tapes: one layer of 3M Scotch Foam, 1/16" thick black; one layer of 3M Scotch Foam, 1/32" thick, white; and one layer of skived Teflon Tape.

An additional bonus on the Tape Cap is a 1/16" wide guide line, which is on the center of the cap and helps the inspector performing the test to center the tape and tool onto the edge being tested.

The Tape Cap is the most efficient way for the inspector to easily and quickly conduct multiple tests on the manufacturing line without having to install three different layers of tape onto the tool prior to testing. Each time a test is performed with the Tape Cap, it can be removed, identified and replaced within seconds thus providing more tests in less time to facilitate inspection reports.
