The Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) has decorated Fluke Corporation with a Gold Award in its International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) programme.
The Fluke industrial design team was recognised in the Commercial and Industrial Products category for its work designing the new Fluke 37X/38X clamp meters with iFlex.
While the shape of the new 37X/38X clamp meters mimics the old in basic silhouette, they differ in touch points and ergonomic details. For example, the 381model has a remote display and a design that increases the tool’s functionality.
“The Fluke 381 is an excellent design solution because it addresses a longstanding ergonomic problem for clamp users – how to comfortably read a display while positioning the clamp in the right relationship to the wire,” said Matthew Marzynski, industrial design manager for Fluke Corp. “By decoupling the display from the device and removing that problem entirely, the 381 offers users more utility and ease of use than a traditional clamp.”
