Torque controlled power tools are set to apply consistent torque, but fasteners are not necessarily tightened to that value if the tools are not calibrated. A breakaway test is used to verify the actual tightened torque of a bolt.
Breakaway torque tests require a skilled, experienced operator to sense when the bolt begins to breakaway. DI-12 automates this complex operation. Once breakaway torque is measured, power drivers can be reset to the proper tightening torque.
DI-12 Automatic Breakaway Torque Tester drives the test piece at consistent speed and detects breakaway torque without overtorquing pretightened fasteners
DI-12 outputs torque data continuously to data acquisition software via the USB virtual COM port, enabling the display of breakaway torque profiles
