This tester is crucial for bottlers to verify the proper functioning of capping machines and ensure caps are tight enough to prevent leakage during transport, yet loose enough for consumers to open. It includes advanced features such as USB and RS-232 outputs, automatic data output, zeroing upon cap removal, and memory storage for 1,000 readings.

2. Impostazione

The TT01 Cap Torque Tester is designed for easy setup to accommodate various bottle shapes and sizes.

2.1. Posizionamento iniziale

Place the TT01 on a stable, flat surface. Ensure adequate space around the unit for operation and sample posizionamento.

2.2. Adjusting Posts for Sample Gripping

The tester comes with four movable posts that can be adjusted to securely grip different bottle shapes and sizes. To adjust, loosen the posts, position them around your sample, and then tighten them to secure the bottle.

3. Funzionamento

Operating the TT01 involves placing the sample, performing the torque test, and interpreting the results from the digital display.

3.1. Performing a Torque Test

1. Place the bottle securely between the adjustable posts.
2. Ensure the display is zeroed before starting a new test. Press the 'ZERO' button if needed.
3. Twist the cap until it loosens. The display will show the peak torque value achieved during the loosening process.

3.2. Indicatori di visualizzazione

The TT01 features a clear digital display with various indicators:

• Primary Reading: Configurable to show live or peak torque values.
• Unità di misura: Selectable units include lbFin, ozFin, lbFft, Ncm, or Nm.
• Set Points: Programmable upper and lower set points define the acceptable tolerance range.
• Pass/Fail Indicators: Visual cues on the display indicate whether the reading is within range, too high, or too low.
• Rilevamento di picco: Features 1st/2nd peak torque detection, useful for measuring slip and breakaway torques in tamper-evident closures.

3.3. Gestione dei dati

The TT01 can store up to 1,000 readings in its internal memory. You can view saved data, calculate statistics (min, max, mean, standard deviation), and clear data in bulk.

3.4. Connettività e software

The unit offers multiple output options for data transfer:

• Uscita USB: Allows direct connection to a PC for data transfer. A USB cable and MESUR Lite data acquisition software are included.
• Multi-purpose Serial Connector: Includes RS-232, Mitutoyo, analog, and set point outputs for integration with other systems.

For increased testing efficiency, the TT01's Break Detection function can automatically save the reading, output the reading, and zero the display when the cap is loosened.

MESUR Lite software tabulates continuous or single point data, and data stored in the TT01's memory can be downloaded in bulk. One-click export to Excel is available for further data manipulation. MESURgauge advanced data collection software is also available, providing graphs and analysis with customizable reports and start/stop triggers.
