BizLink is a global leader in interconnect solutions, headquartered in Fremont, California, with locations around the world. The company was named to Newsweek’s 2021 list of “America’s Most Responsible Companies” for two consecutive years.
BizLink is known for developing high-speed solutions with standout design and reliable manufacturing capability. By continuously pushing the limits of interconnection, it supports environmentally conscious industries and helps improve quality of life through innovative products and services.
As the most vertically integrated interconnect solution supplier, BizLink manufactures key components in-house—including cables, wires, harnesses, and connectors—and relies heavily on tension control.
Their cable production uses twisting machines to form copper wires into 4- to 6-core constructions. Correct wire tension is critical to producing products that meet BizLink’s promise of the highest quality and reliability.
BizLink purchased the LX-25-1 tension meter in early 2019 to verify tension in its cable construction process. During the trial, the meter measured cable tension (lbs) at two critical stages: before the twisted cable core entered the die and while the cable was in the twisting machine.
By analyzing results at these stages, BizLink made precise adjustments efficiently to ensure required tension was achieved.
Impressed by the full feature set, BizLink continues to use the meter to deliver expected quality to clients. The LX-25-1 is easy to learn and rugged in design, making it an ideal choice.
The LX is available in multiple models and can test tension from 5 lbs to 500 lbs. Each unit is custom-calibrated to your material for the most accurate tension readings.
