Torque and torque analysis testing devices
The Torqo is a durable and reliable computerized cap
torque analyzer, which is setting a new standard for torque measurement throughout the packaging industry. With its on-board
microprocessor, the Torqo makes torque testing simple, accurate and affordable. It is easy to use, easy to set up, easy to
move and maintenance free! Tooling is available for any threaded closure - including child resistant caps - and this compact
unit delivers and stores precise results at the touch of a button.
Do more and do it effortlessly
With the Torqo you can easily change from one mode to another - such as removal to removal/incremental - or change
bottle style from beverage to child-resistant. A constant velocity drive does away with operator induced errors and
eliminates the physical strain that can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome.
All the output you need - even SPC reports
The software generates X charts, R charts and histograms, while the processor calculates the standard deviation and
range. The Torqo has the flexibility to download your data directly to a PC for daily report production. Because of Vibrac's
commitment to meeting the ever-changing needs of industry, the software is easily updateable when new tests are needed.
Non-destructive testing saves money
Since the testing process with the Torqo is generally non-destructive, you can often return the tested samples to the
manufacturing line. This is possible because the Torqo can reapply the cap in less than 500 ms from the time the peak
torque is measured. Extensive incubation testing has proven that pasteurized liquids with vacuum seal caps are not affected
by this method of Torqo testing, and similarly, carbonated beverages do not lose their CO2 content.
Calibrate on site to save time and money
Your Torqo comes with a Certificate of Calibration that assures trace ability to the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST). This calibration can be verified or a new one done at any time and without returning the system to the
factory. Anyone can perform the operation by using a Vibrac® Calibration Kit and by following the simple
instructions and keypad prompts that are provided with the Torqo.
