Did you know ? After induction sealing the thread break torque can drop as much as 50-70% of the initially applied torque ? Remember, all SureTorque testers can be utilized as precision single head re-torquers. Our machines not only measure the removal torque to give a feedback improving your capping process, but they double up in functionality as re-torquers or benchtop cap tighteners.

Features
• Real time, automatic display
• NIST traceable calibration procedure
• Strain gauge transducer technology
• Automatic container clamping and closure gripping
• Adjustable torque application speed
• Infinite chuck rotation (SERVO)
• Encoder to measure angular degree of rotation (SERVO)
• Lead screw system for height adjustment
• Heavy duty components

Capabilities
Retorquing: By selecting the “Application” mode, all of our torque testers can be utilized as retorquers, tightening the cap to a customer defined setpoint.
Rotational Speed: The speed is adjustable between 0-800 rpm. Due to the servo controlled rotation, the chuck applies lower torque at higher speeds. As more friction is measured between the threads, the speed decreases and the applied torque increases until the setpoint is met. Servo + transducer feedback = best of both worlds: fast and accurate !
Release and Re-apply Torque: When packaging expensive products it is often required to return the tested container to the packaging line. By measuring the release torque and automatically re-applying the cap to the operator defined setpoint it is possible to save money, and still have the advantage of exceptional quality control.
