At the heart of the new system is an AM radio transmitter fitted to the torque wrench and a multi-functional receiver unit, capable of receiving simultaneous signals from four independent tools.
New wrenches virtually eliminate overtightening
MHH Engineering have added two new Torque Wrenches to their Torqueleader "Breaking Torque Handle" Range, designed for use with either spanner fittings or a ratchet head
To meet the need for a multi-functional torque tester for low torque values, MHH Engineering has developed the new microprocessor controlled Electronic Torque Calibration Analyser (ETCA).
The TorqueMaster® ETCA is designed for use with small hand held torque wrenches, torque screwdrivers and small non impact power tools.
The modular design of the ETCA allows multiple choices when selecting many of the instrument's functions.
The digital processor unit is supplied with the choice of 5 easily interchangeable transducers covering a range of 0.05 N.m.
to 30 N.m with an accuracy of +/- 1% of full scale.
There is the ability to select PEAK or TRACK modes, both with manual and variable auto-reset options.
A novel base plate design allows the ETCA to be mounted in various configurations for ease of use.
User-selectable units of torque measurement, together with a choice of 10 pre-programmed languages, make the ETCA suitable for world-wide use.
It also features an RS232C interface so that the data can be downloaded for off-bench analysis.
The ETCA is supplied with a simulated run down fixture which allows testing of dynamic or revolving power tools at their operating speed, together with a unique built-in mechanical protection for the transducer, where the drive disengages to prevent damage if overloaded.
This versatile instrument offers both clockwise and anti-clockwise operation, is mains operated, CE compliant and comes with fully traceable certification.
