Computer-Controlled System Measures Torque

July 12th, 2006

The Mecmesin Vortex i, a computer controlled closure torque tester for laboratory or production applications. The Vortex i is driven by Mecmesin’s Windows-based Imperial software enabling the user to generate custom routines with looping and branching conditions based on torque, angle, and time.

Full graphical analyses with zooming, marking, scaling and calculation interrogation are standard features. Data and reports can be exported and linked to Word and Excel or printed via its own reporting option. The Mecmesin Vortex i ranges up to 10Nm torque with an accuracy of 0.25%.

Typical application for this system include applying compressive load during torque test, testing ‘feel’ of automotive controls, measuring on/off torque and angles for rotary switching.
