Motorized cap torque tester for bottle closures
In industries where child-resistant and conventional bottle closures are used, consistent and precise measurements of cap torque are critical. Ensuring caps are tightly closed but still user-friendly is essential for both safety regulations and customer satisfaction.
Perform accurate open and close torque tests
The TM200 from Sotax AG is designed to measure the opening and closing torque of various bottle caps, including child-resistant closures. The motorized drive ensures repeatable and highly accurate measurements, mitigating inconsistencies common with manual operations. Custom-made cap adapters eliminate additional pressures that could otherwise influence readings. The TM200 is equipped with a high-precision load cell that continuously measures torque throughout the testing process. It also features a universal self-centering bottle holder to accommodate different bottle sizes. Test protocols and calibration reports can be printed for documentation, and calibration is performed with traceable reference weights.
Benefits
- Reliable and repeatable torque measurements
