This advanced control system manages all aspects of the testing process, from clamping and rotation to data recording and analysis. The tester is equipped with an intuitive HMI (Human-Machine Interface) touch screen, providing a user-friendly experience. Operators can easily navigate through menus, set parameters, and monitor test results in real-time, making the testing process both efficient and straightforward.

Auto clamping and rotating capability to simulate a production line environment.

To accurately simulate a production line environment, the Motorized Cap Torque Tester features automatic clamping and rotating capabilities. The auto-clamping mechanism securely holds the sample in place, ensuring consistent and reliable testing. The rotating functionality mimics the torque application and removal processes found in manufacturing settings, providing realistic and repeatable test results. This feature is essential for quality control and product development, helping to ensure that caps and closures meet the required standards.

Measurement of both locking and opening forces.

Die Motorisierter Kappen-Drehmomentprüfer is capable of measuring both the locking and opening forces of caps and closures. This dual-functionality is crucial for assessing the performance and durability of packaging components. The tester provides precise measurements, allowing manufacturers to optimize the design and ensure that the caps can be securely sealed and easily opened by consumers. This comprehensive testing capability helps to prevent issues such as leakage, contamination, and user dissatisfaction.

Automatic peak value retention.

Die Motorisierter Kappen-Drehmomentprüfer includes an automatic peak value retention feature, which captures and stores the maximum torque values during the testing process. This feature is invaluable for quality control and data analysis, as it provides a clear and accurate record of the highest forces applied. The retained peak values can be reviewed and compared over time, helping to identify trends and ensure consistent product performance.

Equipped with upper and lower dual pneumatic clamping mechanisms.

To enhance the testing accuracy and reliability, the Motorized Cap Torque Tester is equipped with dual pneumatic clamping mechanisms. These mechanisms provide a secure and consistent grip on the sample, ensuring that the torque is applied uniformly. The upper and lower clamps work in tandem to hold the cap and container firmly in place, preventing slippage and ensuring accurate measurements. This dual clamping system is particularly useful for testing a wide range of cap and container sizes and types.

Automatic rotation functionality.

Die Motorisierter Kappen-Drehmomentprüfer features automatic rotation functionality, which allows for precise and controlled torque application. The tester can rotate the cap at a specified speed and angle, simulating the actual conditions under which caps are applied and removed. This feature ensures that the testing process is consistent and repeatable, providing reliable and accurate results. The automatic rotation also reduces the need for manual intervention, improving efficiency and reducing the risk of operator error.

Includes a micro printer for effortless data recording.

For convenient data management, the Motorized Cap Torque Tester includes a built-in micro printer. This feature allows operators to print test results directly from the tester, providing a quick and easy way to document and share data. The printed reports can include detailed information such as peak torque values, test conditions, and sample identification, making it easier to maintain records and comply with regulatory requirements.

Offers multiple units of measurement display, including Kgf.cm, N.cm, daN.cm, Inch.lbs, and N.m.

The Motorized Cap Torque Tester supports multiple units of measurement, including Kgf.cm, N.cm, daN.cm, Inch.lbs, and N.m. This versatility allows users to select the most appropriate unit for their specific needs and preferences. The ability to switch between units ensures that the tester can be used in various industries and regions, making it a flexible and adaptable tool for torque testing.

Features overload protection and an auto-zeroing function.

To ensure the safety and longevity of the Motorized Cap Torque Tester, it includes overload protection. This feature automatically shuts down the tester if the applied torque exceeds the safe operating limits, preventing damage to the equipment and potential injury to the operator. Additionally, the tester has an auto-zeroing function, which resets the torque measurement to zero before each test. This ensures that the starting point is accurate, leading to more reliable and consistent test results.

RS232 port and professional computer software. （Optional）

For advanced data management and analysis, the Motorisierter Kappen-Drehmomentprüfer offers an optional RS232 port and professional computer software. The RS232 port enables the tester to connect to a computer, facilitating the transfer of test data for further processing and analysis. The professional software provides additional features such as data logging, graphing, and report generation, making it easier to manage and interpret test results. This optional feature is particularly useful for laboratories and quality control departments that require detailed and comprehensive data analysis.

4.Test Principle of MCT-01 Motorized Cap Torque Tester

A test sample is loaded into the system using both the cap pneumatic clamp and the bottle pneumatic clamp. Upon pressing the CLAMP button, these clamps automatically engage to securely fasten the cap and bottle. After TEST button is pressed, the lower clamp initiates rotation, effectively opening or closing the bottle as per the test requirements. During this precise movement, the torque force is accurately measured and recorded.
