The VTG Tornado<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0touchscreen cap torque tester is packed full with advanced functions and features, which sets it apart from other closure torque meters. Featuring a 5″ colour touchscreen dual-zone display<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The touchscreen’s upper zone clearly showing the peak readings in N.cm, lbf.in and other common units of measurement.<\/p>\n

The touchscreen’s lower zone provides a live graphical plot<\/strong> of the torque applied, so critical events such as release torque, bridge-breaking of a TE band, and strip torque can be easily identified.\u00c2\u00a0The lower zone can be switched allocated to a statistical overview<\/strong>, calculating Max, Min, Average and Standard Deviation from the peak readings captured and stored in the VTG Tornado’s memory.<\/p>\n

A configurable first-peak function, coupled with the standard maximum reading, ensures that both the initial slip torque and also the bridge-breaking torque are captured. This is particularly valuable when measuring the performance of plastic and metal tamper-evident closures (eg ROPP), where a maximum reading alone is insufficient to determine both characteristics.<\/p>\n

Individual results can be transmitted immediately via RS232 to a PC or printer for analysis, otherwise an onboard memory of over 500 peak results is also available for mass storage when batch testing and subsequent download to a printer or PC. An external SD memory card captures all the individual data-points for each test in .csv format so that they can be exported to Excel and other software packages.<\/p>\n

The VTG Tornado also features a configurable alarm setting to alert an operator with red and green lights during testing, whether the torque reading is within or outside the tolerance limit for the closure.<\/p>\n

To avoid the risk of operators inadvertently changing units of measurement or the operating mode, there is a password-protected lock function. This is particularly useful when the instrument is being used over several shifts by operators of differing skill levels.<\/p>\n

Supplied as standard with a calibration certificate traceable to national standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
