Drivetork motorized opening measurement instrument
 


The Drivetork motorized opening torque measurement instrument is the ideal tool for production teams that have to carry out a large number if opening tests and wish to eliminate the variability linked to operators.

Many test conditions can be programmed: screwing, movement, unscrewing movement, sequence screwing, and unscrewing movements, etc. The speed is adjustable in both directions, from 1 to 20 rpm, the internal motor exerts the torque at a constant speed. The test is therefore always carried out in identical conditions. The height of the measuring head can be adjusted to take bottles from 0.5 inches to 8 inches in height. It is fitted with small jaws that grip the cap to be tested. The torque curve is shown on the display, which also calculates the opening torque.

It can also be used to consecutively measure the rupture of security rings and the unscrewing torque. Ready to use system, supplied with grip fingers.

Features
  • The motorised bottle cap torque tester DRIVETORK is designed to measure the torque at the opening / closing at constant speed.
  • The cap is maintained by cross arms adapted for each cap type.
  • Sample from ½” to 4” diameter are fixed on the plate with gripping fingers.
  • Reading of torque value can be made during both opening and closing phases
  • The RS232 output allows to transfer datas to a PC.
  • The display is made with an instrument CENTOR Easy version allowing to display simultaneously current and peak value. It is also possible to set tolerance.
