Covers wide torque range
July 1st 2006

A digital torque tester from Crane Electronics is able to cover the wide torque ranges found in the production environment and document torque readings either by data download or print out.

Both the software features and the torque range are modular, so it is possible initially to buy the device as a simple readout with a low torque range and then to upgrade if requirements increase, adding a torque transducer and SPC software.

Crane's DTT Opta has interchangeable transducer units. These come either with vertical or horizontal orientation. This means it would be possible to have a digital torque tester with a vertical transducer module with a torque range of 15 to 150Nm for power tool testing and a horizontal transducer module with a torque range of 0.4 to 4Nm for wrench testing.

The DTT Opta is available with two new vertical transducer modules with a maximum torque rating of 75 and 150Nm respectively. There is currently a choice of 10 transducer modules.
