    – Real Time: to display load transients
    – Peak: to capture the peak torque achieved during a test
  • Table for containers with Ø from 20 to 160 mm (small table for diameters from Ø 7 up to 50 mm is available) – standard unit
  • Programmable high/low setpoints for go/no-go testing with colour-coded indicators (orange, green, red) in the LED display and relay outputs
  • Torque meter with high internal sampling rate of 2000 times/sec
  • Display update time 16 times/sec
  • Torque meter with easy to read display (OLED)
  • Selectable units: Nm, kgfm, Lbf.in or Ncm, kgfcm, ozf.in
