Mecmesin Vortex-xt torque tester

The Vortex-xt is a versatile touch screen-controlled torque tester which brings quality control measurement straight to the point of manufacture. The machine’s simple set-up means manufacturers can test clockwise and counter-clockwise torques of packaging components, such as the application and release torque of screw closures, with merely two clicks of the touch screen interface. With colour-coded results, the large, clear display enables easy identification of pass/fail sample conformance.

The product is designed to make routine measurements quick while still providing users with detailed results, as well as 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.

Up to five frequently used tests can be stored for quick access and initiation by different users, without the need for a high level of technical or test application knowledge. Password protection allows ‘administrators’ to alter test set-up and template design, thereby avoiding any accidental changes to programmable functions.

The product ensures user-friendly performance for production staff with minimal set-up time and training requirements. The motorised torque tester can also be programmed for those occasions where special one-off test routines are needed.
