Torque tools go out of calibration with use. Calibrating a torque tool is a fine-tuning process of bringing the tool back within its tolerance. Torque testers can also be used for quick tools tests on the line or in the lab to determine whether torque tools are holding a given setting.
A regular torque tool calibration and re-calibration guarantees the operator repeatable accuracy and adherence to international standards. Torque testing also ensures torque equipment is operating to peak performance and can highlight potential tooling problems before they arise perhaps due to tool wear or broken components.
The TorqueLab® LTT is a laboratory grade instrument designed for testing and monitoring torque applications and is commonly used for quality control, R&D and calibration applications. As an advanced torque controlling, monitoring and documentation solution, LTT torque tester is used for testing or calibrating hand torque screwdrivers, electric screwdrivers, pneumatic screwdrivers, torque tools as well as a torque wrench calibration. The LTT torque analyzer features the EZ-Plug & Play technology, which is an auto-recognition system with Mountz torque sensors.
Using a quality torque tester makes a safer world through accuracy and precision. Measuring torque is essential for companies to ensure their product’s quality, safety and reliability isn’t compromised. The failure of a three-cent fastener that isn’t properly tightened can lead to catastrophic or latent failures. Fasteners that are insufficiently fastened can vibrate loose and excessive torque can strip threaded fasteners.
