AUTOMEG
Complete electrical testing, even when coiled.
Automeg® is a vital piece of equipment for assessing the integrity and safety of electrical cables and wires, particularly for QA at the manufacturing stage.
It plays a crucial role in ensuring cables, especially those still in coil form, meet the necessary performance standards before they are installed in various applications.
This test process helps detect faults, weaknesses or defects in cables, reducing the risk of failure after installation and improving the long-term reliability of electrical systems.
Going round in circles when cable testing in spool form? Here's how Automeg helps:
The primary tests conducted during the cable manufacturing process include:
- Continuity Testing: This ensures that there are no breaks, open circuits, or faults in the coiled cable.
- HV Testing: The most significant advantage of Automeg is HV testing, to ensure the cable can handle high voltages in normal operation.
- Insulation Resistance: This is one of the most basic yet essential checks, measuring the resistance of the cable’s insulation to leakage currents.
The Automeg test system is available in multiple configurations to suit different operational setups, including rack-mounted housings, portable formats, distributed satellite systems, and static desktop units.
This adaptability ensures the system fits perfectly into your workspace and use case.
MKAT, our test management software is designed with simplicity in mind. Easy to learn and use, it allows operators to quickly become proficient, reducing training time and ensuring smooth operation in any testing environment. MKAT was rated ‘easy to use’ by 87% of our customers.

CASE STUDY
Streamlining testing for improved performance.
A cable manufacturing company approached MK to improve its processes for cable testing in spool form.
Its current equipment was slow and limited, requiring 2–3 repeated test runs to achieve results. Testing consumed much of the day, limiting productivity and producing incomplete reports.
By implementing the Automeg cable tester system in a mobile format, paired with the customized MKAT software solution, the company replaced its outdated methods with a faster, more efficient single-pass testing process.
This new approach saved significant time, reduced labor, and delivered secure, comprehensive results, transforming their daily operations and improving overall performance.
"MK are the industry standard for automated test equipment. Using the Automeg F1500 has greatly improved our efficiency and accuracy when testing."
