Vibrac torqo 1502-50 motorized cap torque test system
Vibrac Torqo 1502-50 Motorized Cap Torque Test System
This is a Torqo motorized cap torque test system, model 1502-50, made by Vibrac, LLC of Amherst, NH in excellent used condition. It has a torque range of 0 to 50 in-lbs with accuracy of 0.5% of scale and resolution of 0.05 in-lbs. I tested it and the torque tester works well, as does the motor that rotates the chuck. The instrument was last calibrated in November of 2009. It operates on 110 volts, and requires compressed air to lower and lift the chuck.
The Torqo is a durable and reliable computerized cap torque analyzer, which is setting a new standard for torque measurement throughout the packaging industry. With its on-board microprocessor, the Torqo makes torque testing simple, accurate and affordable. It is easy to use, easy to set up, easy to move and maintenance free! Tooling is available for any threaded closure - including child resistant caps - and this compact unit delivers and stores precise results at the touch of a button.
Why spend more for a motorized cap torque testing system?
To put it simply, different operators will apply different forces to manual torque measuring devices, and the force applied directly relates to the torque measured. When torque is measured by using a manual torque meter, an operator s hand is responsible for applying the twisting force to the cap in order for the cap to rotate to the removal point or application point. At this point, torque data is recorded and displayed on the torque measurement device. During this process, an increase in the force applied by the operator to the cap, or an increase in the speed at which the force is applied, will result in an increase in the measured torque of the cap, and vice-versa. In order for accurate and reliable data to be obtained, each operator must apply precisely the same amount of force to the cap, testing cycle after testing cycle. With a motorized torque testing system, the force applied to a cap is precisely the same in each testing cycle, regardless of who may be operating the machine, or how strong they may be.
