Norbar introduces a new version of its popular range of torque testers offering a cost effective, simple-to-use solution for the calibration and testing of torque tools.

Since the launch of the original 'Torque Tool Tester' ('TTT') and 'Torque Screwdriver Tester' (''TST'), Britain's leading torque tool manufacturer has further enhanced its family of instruments, offering a more accurate and user-friendly package.

Re-engineering of the instruments' circuits has allowed resolution to be increased to five digits. The result is that the new instruments are more than twice as accurate as the previous models. A particular benefit to the user is that when connected to one of Norbar's transducers, very accurate results can be achieved down to 5% of full scale.

Customer feedback on the original models has brought about an enhancement to the data output options of the new instruments. They now offer both analogue output of the torque signal and 'continuous' RS232. These facilities allow real time process monitoring to be carried out. The instruments can be used as the basis for a system that will signal if a torque process has gone out of tolerance or even shut down the process.

The simple user interface is a feature that delighted customers of the original models. Diagrams of the most commonly used torque tools are pictured on the control panel. The operator simply presses the button that corresponds to the tool under test and the device selects the appropriate test mode. The new instruments improve on this feature with a faster, more responsive keypad.

The first generation 'Torque Tool Tester' and 'Torque Screwdriver Tester' won prestigious customer such as BMW's engine plant at Hams Hall. The 'Series 2' instruments provide a comprehensive package ideal for the calibration of any torque tool and look set to build on the success of the original 'TST' and 'TTT'.
