Vortex-i - The New Fully Computer-Controlled Torque Measurement System for Quality Control Testing
Mecmesin, the specialists in force and torque measurement for quality control testing of manufactured products, components and materials have announced the release of 'Vortex-i' - a torque testing system controlled by 'Emperor' software. The system has been designed for quality control professionals in many industrial sectors, including: electronics, automotive, medical, aviation, fasteners, pharmaceuticals and packaging.
(PRWEB) April 6, 2005 -- In todays increasingly competitive packaging industry, minimising costs associated with product wastage or reworking has become absolutely critical. Packaging engineers, designers and specifiers are well-aware of the vital contribution that that force and torque measurement systems can make to the early identification of potential design or production problems.
This year Interpack gives packaging professionals and food technologists their first opportunity to see Vortex-i -- the Mecmesin system with the potential to take torque testing in quality control laboratories to a new level.
Vortex-i, which is fully controlled by Mecmesins flexible, powerful and user-friendly Emperor software enables quality engineers to develop sophisticated procedures and analyses to meet their particular product testing requirements.
One group of tests which are of great significance within the packaging industry involve measuring those torques which characterise the performance of screw closures, caps and lids. Vortex-i is the ideal instruments for: identifying slip torque and bridge torque of tamper-evident closures, determining the release torque of vacuum closures, measuring the peak torque to open a 'push and twist or 'squeeze and twist child-resistant cap, and indeed quantifying the openability of all types of screw closure.
Within the food industry, the role of Mecmesin testing systems is not, of course, limited to evaluating the performance of food packaging -- applying tensile, compressive or torsional loads directly to food products can also generate a wealth of information about quality.
Mecmesin force and torque testing systems are distributed wordwide; throughout the USA and Canada availability is exclusively via Dillon-WeighTronix, of Fairmont, MN, under their 'Quantrol' brandname.
