Tornado Creates Storm

Mecmesin, manufacturer of force and torque testing equipment, has announced the launch of the Tornado, a unique new digital torque tester.

The Tornado is designed to assess the low-level torques associated with small rotating components, from packaging closures to electrical controls, and building hardware to medical devices.

Representing a major step forward in portable torque testing, the Tornado boasts an array of advanced capabilities, including pass/fail alerting with five programmable memory settings, a facility to characterise the two torque peaks associated with tamper-evident closures, an onboard memory of up to 500 readings and a bi-directional data interface for easy export of results.
