Mecmesin Vortex-xt torque tester

A versatile touch-screen controlled torque tester, the Mecmesin Vortex-xt can be used to bring quality control measurement straight to the point of manufacture.

The machine’s simple set-up means users 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. Using colour-coded results, the large, clear display enables very easy identification of pass/fail sample conformance.

The tester is designed to make routine measurements quickly, while still providing users with detailed results data, 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.

Rated to 10 Nm, the Vortex-xt completes Mecmesin’s range of three motorised torque-testing systems.
