$21,640.80
ST-LAB5 Automatic Torque-Topload Tester
Manufacturer: Sure Torque
Product code: ST-LAB5
Features
- 1 set of change parts
- Torque Calibration kit
- Foamed eavy duty transport case wit wheels
The ST-LAB uses a customer-friendly intelligent plc control which enables the flexible configuration of many different test methods. Special, custom test methods can be added to the standard ones, even with sending an update in email.
After placing a sample into the ST-LAB it will apply all the movements like clamping the container, gripping the cap and releasing/applying the closure with automatic moves. The using of a fully automatic torque tester offers 100% repeatable test circumstances to eliminate the human effects from the measurement procedure. Clamping force, rotation speed and the applied topload can be set on a wide range. The machine measures not only the torque and the topload, but the rotation angle too.

Let us highline 3 important useful features of the ST-LAB5:
- The ability to perform release-application test without breaking the seal of the product. By using this test method the tested and retorqued sample can be put back on the production line, instead of putting them in the waste.
- Automatic topload control enables the simple and accurate testing of the Child Resistant closures.
- Application angle measurement. Measures release torque, unscrews closure and measures the application angle of the closure.

Tooling:
The container is fixed by the container clamps, moved by a self centering pneumatic parallel gripper. The container clamps can be changed with quick-lock pin system (marked green)
The closure is gripped by a pneumatic operated cap collet. The collet is also fixed by a quick-lock pin, for fast changing.
Both pneumatic movements force can be set separately by control valves.
Menu system:
The test setup (speed, topload force, rotation, torque range, test methodic) can be set for each different product individually. So the operator can/must not change any setup parameter. The unit has different setup access levels with separate passwords.
All tests can be finished either on torque fallback, or on rotation limit. This can also be configured to each sample type individually.
Basic test options:
- Release test – with Range testing – Besides the exact release torque it gives color signals if torque is under or over a preset torque range.
- Application
- Release-apply test. With this test mode it is possible to measure the initial release torque without damaging the temper evident band and the sealing even on carbonated or aseptic products.
- Apply-release test (for finding the connection between the application and the release torque by several cap-container combinations)
- Warranty ring application and release tests
- Strip test – The strip test mode measures the peak torque value, where threads break/deform in an on-torque/application cycle. This way you are able to measure the maximal amount of torque can be applied on a closure/container, without permanent damage of the closure/container threads.
- Data acquisition software
- Angular degree of rotation measurement
Topload can be configured by each test individually. By the combined tests topload can be set different for Application and Release!
Optional features:
- Advanced topload option with
- Topload seek test – topload will be increase automatically until the closure gets possible to open (force increment and increment dynamic is user configurable). Please watch the DEMO VIDEO (on the diagram the green line is the orque, the bue line is the topload)
- Topload calibration kit
- Application angle test mode
- Safety option with safety door (base plate increases to 280×360 mm)
- Narrow paper dot printer for direct report printing
- The sample sizes can be increased both in diameter and in height
Measuring with the ST-LAB5:
The ST-LAB is a user-friendly one-button operation unit, controlled by a PLC.
- Choose a sample type on the touch screen.
- Choose the desired test method on the PLC by using the PLC’s navigation buttons.
- Place the sample (and close the safety door if there is)
- Hit the activation button(s) to start a test cycle.
- The container clamp closes and holds the container tight during the test cycle
- The testing head sinks to the cap level and grabs the cap
- The desired test method will be completed
- Sample will be released
Both topload and sample the fixing forces can be set on a wide range so that you can choose the forces matching the best to your samples and test requirements.
- You can start a new test by hitting the activation buttons
The speed of the test cycle can be set on a wide range. The internal memory of the plc stores 100 results with graph and all details which can be imported into a pc. Results can be monitored by on line data collector too.
