(Mecmesin: Slinfold, West Sussex) -- The new Vortex-xt torque tester has been designed for quality control managers who need a simple, accurate, yet rugged torque-testing system for the production floor or quality control laboratory.

With the Vortex-xt, static and rotary torque tests are performed at the push of a button, and its stand-alone system means that no PC is required, making it ideal for production areas. It’s easy to program and simple to use, so there’s minimal operator training. The Vortex-xt cuts costs by improving production-line efficiency and reducing waste.

It is the ideal solution for engineers in the aerospace, automotive, and medical device industries who need to measure clockwise and counter-clockwise torque when developing and manufacturing rotary components. Typical applications include positive “click” on engagement of controls such as ignition switches, valves, and automotive stalks.
