The most advanced touchscreen digital torque tester

Mecmesin's VTG Tornado is portable and rated to IP54 for testing the applied and release torque of a diverse range of products. Measures up to 10 N.m (90 lbf.in) of opening and closing torque of caps/closures. Record live and peak readings with much greater accuracy, with a touchscreen dual-zone display for live graphical plot of torque applied, as well as statistical overview and calculations.

Overview

Four capacities:
1.5 N.m, 3 N.m, 6N.m & 10N.m
Compact, lightweight and easily portable
Mains or battery-powered
RS232 output for easy export of results
Water resistant design, and integrated drip tray captures spillage for easier cleaning when testing carbonated drinks
Multiple measurement units: mN.m, N.m, lbf.in, ozf.in, kgf.cm, etc.
On-site and return to manufacturer calibration available

Tamper Evident closure testing

The VTG Tornado allows you to characterise the critical torque peaks associated with tamper-evident closures.

Slip torque
The effort required to initiate movement of the cap
Bridge torque
The smaller secondary peak associated with the effort required to break the plastic bridges between the cap and the security ring

Pass/Fail alerting

Tolerance bands for acceptable torque measurements may be pre-defined, and pass/fail parameters established.

Five independent settings can then be stored. The indicators and pre-alert indicator then clearly identify samples that do not conform to your exact requirements.

On-board memory, simple controls

The VTG Tornado can store up to 500 readings in its internal memory, allowing you to perform many tests in quick succession, and then view or export the results at a later time convenient to you.
Clear, intuitive touchscreen controls on the dual-zone display allows quick access to common functions and navigation of the advanced options menu.
Operator password-protected lock function for units of measurement.

VectoPro Lite data capture and analysis software

Software allows analysis of exported closure torque data measured from Tornado VectorPro Lite connects to your test system or instrument, plotting test data directly onto your PC screen:

View test ‘live’ on PC screen; torque vs time
Perform multiple calculations e.g. peak, trough and average
Easily identify whether sample meets pass/fail criteria
Produce summary test reports with graphical traces
Transfer information to other packages (e.g. Microsoft® Excel or SPC packages) for further analysis
