Gleave and Company Watch Parts, Clock Parts and Tools since 1948

£

External drive for:
- Functional check on the mechanical part
- Release of blocked gear trains by fast rotation
- Check for the correct positioning of the hands
- Concentricity check on the gear train
• Rate measurement
• Motor pulse display
• Watch battery check
• Demagnetization of mechanical watches
and tools

The CYCLONIC RATE enables the watchmaker quick and
detailed analysis of defects on quartz watches.
Driven through a rotating magnetic field, the watch is
brought back into operation with a faster speed. So the
mechanical functions can be checked quickly. Solidified oil
and dirt can be released from the bearings by rotating the
gear-train rapidly. This usually enables a blocked movement
to be brought back into operation again. This is often the
only possibility to repair a watch that cannot be
dismantled.
The performance of the electronic module and the coil is
checked by means of the motor pulse display.
The supplementary test facilities for the rate measurement
and battery test enable the complete functional
investigation on the watch.
In addition the tester enables the demagnetization of
mechanical watch movements, tools etc.
