MC900 Transient Recorder Analyzer

UltraBolt tests its bolts with the MC900 Transient Recorder Analyzer, a product developed by an exclusive supplier, Micro Control Inc. In one single portable unit, the MC900 provides tension and ultrasonic testing for the use of fastener engineers. The MC900 is perfect for analyzing threaded fastener joint designs and nut-runner operations. It boasts efficiency, compactness, and compatibility, being able to collect and analyze data in one unit. 

The MC900 can measure all of the following:
  • Torque (Input, Thread, Under-Head)
  • Clamp Load
  • Distance
  • Coefficient of Friction
  • Tension
  • Stretch
Current users of the MC900 include: Ford, General Motors, Cummins, Chrysler, Caterpillar, and Harley Davidson, among many others.

Special Features

An impressive combination of powerful hardware and the usability of Microsoft Windows make the MC900 a snap to setup, capture, view, store, and examine data on fasteners. 


Modern User Interface
  • Windows-based software
  • Four individual graphs on each tabbed graph
  • Statistical analysis of different points
Fast Measurement Results
  • Real time graphs 
  • Time-based or angle-based data collection
  • Lines, slopes, delta, yield detection on any graph 
  • Unlimited recording time
Simple and Intuitive Operation
  • Cross plotting of torque, tension, angle or RPM
  • Fiction analysis software
  • Automatic RPM computation on any angle channel 
Multiple Channels

  • 4 strain gage input channels
  • 4 high-level analog input channel
  • 4 quadrature encoded input channels (angle or displacement)
  • 4 digital input and 4 digital output

UltraBolt uses the ultrasonic edition of the MC900. Improving on technology originally developed by NASA, the ultrasound method can precisely determine the clamp load in an actual joint, either dynamically (while tightening) or statically (pre-load). Our MC900 units have the addition of four ultrasonic and temperature channels, allowing it to monitor and record four bolts simultaneously. By attaching torque and angle transducers and load cells to the MC900, data for torque, angle, RPM and clamp load can be both collected and analyzed at the same time. 

Our Competitive Advantage

The combination of ultrasound testing methods, a variety of testing areas, and the sleek design of the MC900 allows engineers to do testing in remote sites more easily than its competitors.
