Mecmesin VortexPro
The Mecmesin VortexPro is a top of the range torque tester controlled by VectorPro software from your computer. Accurate, easy to use and optimized for measuring static torque up to 10 N.m. The VortexPro Touch is a multi-functional torque tester controlled by a touchscreen console running VectorPro software. Rated up to 10 N.m it is accurate, easy to use and ideal for standalone use.
A multi-functional torque tester controlled by VectorPro torque testing software, from a touchscreen console or your computer. Measure static clockwise or counterclockwise torque up to 10 N.m. Accurate, easy to use and ideal for larger test specimens.
The motorized test frame of the VortexPro is developed for static torque testing up to 10 N.m, featuring a twin-column frame design and precision motor, with space for larger test specimens. Test specimens up to 440 mm tall and 280 mm wide can easily be tested in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. Powered by VectorPro test software from your computer, or touchscreen console, the refined footprint of the test system makes it an ideal bench-top device for use in laboratory or production environments.
A range of interchangeable ETS torque sensors are specially adapted to the Mecmesin VortexPro. Connect a torque sensor to the test frame and the calibration characteristics are automatically recognized by the test system and software without any input from the operator. Five different sensors are available with nominal capacities ranging from 0.3 N.m up to 10 N.m. This ensures that you have the optimum selection to meet all your torque testing needs. Measurement accuracy is an outstanding ±0.5% of the sensor capacity. Each sensor is delivered as standard with its own calibration certificate traceable to national standards.
VectorPro testing software is at the heart of our VortexPro and VectorPro Touch torque test systems. VectorPro runs on any Windows computer, controlling the motorized test frame and capturing test data at 1,000 Hz from the ETS torque sensor and angle encoder of the frame. Step-by-step test routines can be quickly and easily created according to the exact requirements of your testing procedures. Configured tests are easily selected on the home screen with a single click or touch. Realtime plotting of measurement data on an interactive graph enables the operator to identify precisely how the test specimen is performing. Preset calculations analyze the data and can determine whether the specimen has met the pass/fail criteria of the quality-control specifications. At the end of the test, the powerful reporting module within VectorPro allows the operator to issue a test report as a PDF. Additionally, the data can be exported to Excel or to the network for further analysis by a Statistical Process Control (SPC) package.
Holding your test specimen in place without it slipping is essential to obtaining repeatable results with the Mecmesin VortexPro. Mecmesin has designed a range of torque grips to hold a variety of components. They include chucks and mandrels to hold plastic and metal closures, fixing tables to secure bottles and containers plus many more. The varying nature of specimen sizes and shapes often makes it necessary to design and produce a special grip. Mecmesin’s team of design engineers can work with you to develop the best grip for your specimen. These are then produced on our 3D printers to create lightweight, precision fixtures or, for higher load applications, they are made from metal at our machine-shop.
The Vortex torque tester has been designed for versatility. Its standard configuration is rated to 10 N.m (90 lbf.in) with space to accept specimens up to 275mm wide. Thanks to its modular configurability it can also be supplied with taller and wider columns for fitting larger-sized specimens or be strengthened to allow torque measurement up to 30 N.m.
