The Trigger Scan™ System
Home > Instrumentation, Equipment, and Facilities > Weight, Force and Their Measurement > Trigger Pull Measurements > The Trigger Scan™ System
TriggerScan™ is an advanced system engineered specifically for gunsmiths and firearms examiners. It is not an industrial tool retrofitted for a special use.
The system employs a mounting fixture for various types of firearms. The fixture makes it easier to mount firearms uniformly and to mount the motorized sensor arm that protrudes into the trigger guard and squeezes the trigger to the rear. The software allows for control by keyboard or from the body of the sensor. The test results are displayed on-screen in both graphical and tabular forms. The data can be stored, printed, and retrieved for case documentation. The data is completely annotated and can be customized with information such as case identifiers, date/time, serial numbers, double action, single action, and name of the individual performing the test.
The printouts are multi-colored and display a force versus distance plot, including the initial trigger travel, maximum force, and the point at which the trigger pull drops to zero after firing.
The system includes a calibration tool for making adjustments against a known standard. The manufacturer will also perform the calibration service.
