Nordic Ultratune, a cross-country ski dealer and service
center located in Winthrop, WA, has been using the Mark-10 Model ES30 manual
test stand and the Model MG200 force gauge
to offer customers specialized tuning and configuration services. By using the
force measurement products, Ultratune is able to conduct a flex analysis, which
measures camber length and height with pressure applied approximately at the
ball of the foot. The results can help Nordic Ultratune identify the
characteristics of the skis and how well they are matched. Additionally, the
test can apply pressure at approximately the mid-foot to help determine the
best type of wax: power, warm hardwax, or klister.
The force measurement products also help Nordic Ultratune
conduct a skate ski flex analysis which measures camber length and height with
pressure again applied 8 cm behind the balance point that approximates pressure
at the ball of the foot. The results allow the company to see the flex
characteristics of the skis, how well they are matched, and can be used to
characterize a pair of skis a customer already owns if they wish to match with
another pair. It can also help identify skis that are too soft or too stiff.
