The
CAPTEST
Digital Torque Tester
CAPTEST
is used to measure and record the torque required
for the opening and closing of screw-caps.
CAPTEST
stores
up to 240 readings. The stored data can be sent to the display
or to a data printer (e.g. EPSON P40) connected to the serial
RS232 port. Statistical evaluation is accomplished by means
of a Mitutoyo statistics processor (e.g. Mitutoyo DP-1 VR),
which interfaces directly with
CAPTEST
.
The splash-proof, stainless steel housing and the robust
construction of the clamping fixture guarantee continuous
and reliable operation in laboratory and tough production
environments.
The built-in rechargeable battery, in combination with the
latest power-saving technology, enables extended operation,
independent of a mains supply. In continuous operation, a
minimum 72 hours operating time can be achieved.
Automatic shut-off occurs if the device is not used for a
period of about 2 minutes, enabling the device to operate for
days without charging. When the battery charge is low, the
display will show ‘BAT’. The battery is prevented from being
low-level discharged by a security function that switches the
device off automatically.
When performing a measurement, the peak value of the
applied torque is displayed.
