We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Torque Wrenches",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Portable torque tools auto-detect applications from
Mountz, which we summarised at the time by saying "The LTT torque analyser is designed for torque calibration, joint testing, auditing or for force and load measurement or verification of load cells".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Investment increases torque tool capacity from
Norbar Torque Tools: "A new gear hobbing machine with robotic feeder will help Norbar match demand for increased sales volumes of its Pneutorque pneumatic torque wrenches and Handtorque torque multipliers".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Norbar Torque Tools
concerning its Trucheck
- take a look at Racing group adopts torque tool tester
which says: "TruCheck is designed to make the checking of torque tools so quick and easy that they can be verified at frequent intervals".
Take a look also at the news release from Crane Electronics, Torque wrenches meet auto standards,
as well as Torque wrench range expanded from Crane Electronics,
and Wrenches stand the test of torque from Mark-10.
