Mecmesin Vortex-I PC-controlled torque tester

The Mecmesin Vortex-I PC-controlled torque tester brings quality control measurement straight to the point of manufacture. The machine’s simple set-up means manufacturers can test clockwise and counterclockwise torques of packaging components, such as the application and release torque of screw closures.

The unit is designed for R&D as well as routine measurements, providing users with detailed results data and reporting capabilities, if required. Users have the choice of viewing a graphical ‘live’ display of the test for observational purposes, or multiple test results in tabulated form, to begin making comparisons and, subsequently, to evaluate them in more depth with a choice of calculations.

Password protection allows ‘administrators’ to alter test set-up and template design, thereby avoiding any accidental changes to programmable functions.

With a selection of models rated up to 10 Nm, the unit completes Mecmesin’s range of three motorised torque testing systems, which includes the basic Vortex-d and the tablet PC driven Vortex-Xt test system.
