Keep Your Beer Carbonation Consistent
Challenges
Mesa’s torque testers are uniquely suited for the medical device industry because our solutions are highly customizable, highly engineered tooling. In the medical device industry, accuracy is important. Our torque testers offer a lower torque range, and are set to return to exact location specifications. Whether you are programming 100 or 1,000 cycles, Mesa’s torque testers can be programmed for any level of fatigue profile tests.
An example of this breadth of tests is the Olympus project. It was proven that customized tooling was needed to allow for both destructive and non-destructive testing of all blade sizes, without allowing the blades or hubs to slip.
Relevant Tests
Release Torque Testing
Description: With a highly sensitive strain gage-based torque transducer, a 2000 CPR rotary encoder and proprietary pressure controlled cap and bottle gripper designs, our servo-driven automated torque tester can accurately detect both small and large changes in the torque and angle during the removal of a closure.
TEB (Tamper Evident Band)
Description: When tamper evident caps are used just knowing the release torque is not always enough, often knowing the torque required to break the bands is desired. Using a rotation driven release both the thread break and the band break can be measured. (See pg. 45 of ST-120S operator manual for info on how to set this up).
Strip
Description: With the ability to deliver and measure up to 88 lbf.in (10 Nm) of torque, we can find and report the torque it takes to strip out the threads when tightening your containers closure.
Application
Description: Used to tighten a cap to a precise torque. Not often used by itself, aside from an evaluation or validation of a capping process, it can also be combined with the release testing for nondestructive testing as well as fatigue and accelerated aging testing.
