Digital Torque Tester, 5 N.m, Stainless Steel
The CapTest digital torque tester is ideally suited for basic clockwise and counter-clockwise torque tests where the testing environment calls for greater protection.
Manually operated and measuring up to 5 N.m, its stainless-steel housing lends itself for testing caps and closures in medical & pharmaceutical clean-rooms and production areas where the risk of liquid splash is high.
The CapTest cap torque tester has the core functionality of the Orbis but incorporates a stainless-steel housing where the testing environment calls for greater protection.
Measuring up to 5 N.m this manually-operated torque tester lends itself perfectly for testing caps and closures in medical & pharmaceutical clean-rooms and production areas where the risk of liquid splash is high. It has become the instrument of choice in many bottling plants within the mineral water and beer industry.
An additional mechanical stop is incorporated into the torque sensor to provide enhanced protection against accidental overload.
The RS-232 connection allows readings to be sent to a printer (e.g. EPSON P40) or statistical processor, individually or by batch. Up to 240 readings at a time can be stored in the CapTest.
Combined with a Mitutoyo DP-1VR mini-processor, results can be analyzed and compared with tolerance criteria for pass/fail indication.
The IP54-rated stainless steel housing and the robust construction of the clamping fixture guarantee continuous and reliable operation in laboratory and tough production environments.
The built-in rechargeable battery, in combination with the latest power-saving technology, enables extended operation, independent of the main supply. In continuous operation, a minimum of 72 hours of operating time can be achieved. Automatic shut-off occurs if the device is not used for a period of about 2 minutes, enabling the device to operate for days without charging. When the battery charge is low, the display will show ‘BAT’; further discharge is protected by the automatic shutdown.
