Rick Browne Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Have a look at this RGC. Advance vid to the 2 minute mark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ Livesey Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 That's Vadim, Alex's friend. I do believe Ivan B proved how this system is flawed. But it is a good idea and I really like the set up. I could see how it could save a lot of time in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 1) This is a super cool device. I'm jealous of their R&D budget 2) I believe this is overkill. CPW is using a crane scale with ingredients that would be a fraction of the cost. I can't see any accuracy or efficiency gained with the complexity of this set up. 3) This would not be fast enough for CPW. Our setup would probably allow us to rate 5+ grippers to his 1. Thanks for re-posting this. It's a super sick rig. EJ, what do you mean that Vadim proved it was flawed? Flawed how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ Livesey Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 the placement of the "loop" yielded higher results and the digital tool used was cheap and not calibrated correctly. Vadim also used a rig like this to try and disprove Ivans calibration numbers for steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Browne Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) I just thought it to be an elaborate set up, made with costly materials and precision machining. Whatever faults it may have, I was not looking to hear about them. But thanks anywho Edited January 30, 2016 by zcor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I can agree with that. As I said.... JEALOUS of their budget for this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeondie Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I communicate with Vadim. If you have questions about the calibrator, you can write me. I will tell him and will tell you the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawel r Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) CoC 3 is 127 kg if you will measure only spring.... Edited February 1, 2016 by pawel r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Browne Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 CoC 3 is 127 kg if you will measure only spring.... He is measuring from the band. Will this not increase the lb/kg rating as opposed to the rating measured from the end of the handles? That is what I have always read on here.

acromegaman Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I think that as long as he is only using his ratings for his own reference and not measuring against others it is a good system beyond the fact that he is not pulling straight on the cable.

Agreed. A repeatable system is a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
