Squeezus Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I feel like some information regarding the RGC or "Redneck Gripper Calibrator" should be pinned in the equipment section, specifically this link:http://www.software-henritzi.net/Articles/MortonGripperCalibrationDevice.pdf Feel free to add any other relevant information about calibration.

Cannon Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Oh boy. We should try and dig up some of the existing threads. I know at least twice I (and others) have laid out some of the most important things to realize about RATING grippers. I noticed you used the word "calibration" and we've definitely moved away from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Future of Rating Grippers Good discussion about alternatives that account for more variables: http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?showtopic=40817 Rating Device - Equipment This is the thread I was thinking about where I break down stuff from CPW's perspective. http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?showtopic=42760 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed you used the word "calibration" and we've definitely moved away from that. Yeah, calibration doesn't make sense, but I was just using the term in the vernacular sense. Honestly, we could just change RGC to mean "Rated Gripper at Close" and keep the old abbreviation. Anyway, I was looking specifically for the webbing width and whether the webbing goes at the bevel or end of handle and it was harder than necessary to find.

Jared Goguen Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I've also started a few threads on here about rating devices that are pretty good I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Dax Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I guess the term calibration would be used if the gripper can be adjusted for strength (i.e. the Silvis adjustables could theoretically be calibrated) Really calibration should be applied to the different methods so that a comparison can be made across different methods and operators.
