Video Demonstration

The Professional Torque Tool Tester is our premier bench mounted tester, for verifying, testing, calibrating and certifying hand torque tools up to 1,000Nm. It is designed to cover a wide range of common international torque tool sizes and ranges.

The torque tester is designed to high standards and comes in optimised torque ranges to ensure that torque wrenches and torque screwdrivers in the marketplace do not require the overlap of two ranges for a torque tool test or calibration. This is accomplished by using a 6 digit display and high performance electronics and firmware to ensure an accuracy better than 1% of the reading from 4% to 100% of the range of the Professional Torque Tool Tester.

Typical Use

A torque tester is a complete package of an inbuilt torque transducer and a torque display. Commonly used for the quick interim testing and verifying of torque tools before, during and after a work shift, they play a key part in the quality control stage in a number of industries.

Particularly useful for tools having continual and constant use at one setting, the use of a torque tester allows the user to measure that their torque tool is applying the correct amount of torque before a work shift. It allows the operator to know if the tool still functions correctly and within the required tolerance, giving them confidence that their fasteners are being tightened to the correct torque value.

ISO 6789:2003 & ISO 6789:2017 Part 1 Compliant

The Professional Torque Tool Tester is compliant with the ISO 6789:2003 and ISO 6789:2017 Part 1 standards for the calibration of torque wrenches and torque screwdrivers.

Battery Powered or Mains Powered

The Professional Torque Tool Tester features internal rechargeable batteries for portable operation in the field. The tester is supplied with a 12V 0.5 Amp DC power supply for recharging these batteries, or to allow for the tester to be used with mains power.

The auto power off function of the Professional Torque Tool Tester extends the life of the tester, ensuring that the display is not left on to drain the battery whilst not in use.

The on-screen battery status indicator informs the operator how much charge is left in the battery.

Modes of Operation

The Professional Torque Tool Tester can be used in various modes to facilitate the use of the tester with different types of torque tools.

First Peak Mode

Used for click type torque tools, 1st Peak Mode detects, shows and retains the first peak reading in a fast dynamic memory, or is cleared automatically after three seconds if the auto cancel option is selected.

Peak Mode

Used for dial and cam type torque tools, Peak Mode shows, updates and retains the maximum reading in a fast dynamic memory. The maximum reading is retained until manually cleared.

Run Mode

Run Mode shows the torque value as they change as a live reading output.

The Display

Bright, Full Colour LCD, 6 Digit Display

The Professional Torque Tool Tester features a bright, full colour LCD graphic display, showing your torque reading and an analogue bar graph. Fixed atop a flexible neck, it can be turned or tilted for easy viewing from multiple positions and angles.

Fully Customisable Targets and Limits

During the setup process, target, upper and lower limits can be set using the soft push buttons at the bottom of the screen. The buttons can be used to set the units of measure for the torque tool. To speed up the setup process when using the same torque tool, you can choose to use the previous setup, removing the need to enter the target and limits again.

Limit Indicating Colour LEDs

When using the limits features, external yellow, red and green LEDs on the display indicate whether the torque values are low, high, or within tolerance. The 6 digits on the display also change colour to indicate limit state when in Peak and 1st Peak modes. When the reading is within limits set, green LEDs will light. If the torque reading is at or above the upper limit, red LEDs will light. If the torque reading is at or below the lower limit, yellow LEDs will light.

5 Selectable Torque Units

Display your torque readings in Nm, Lbf.Ft, cNm, Lbf.In or ozf.In. The user can select the units they want to use for their operations during the setup process using the soft keys on the front of the display.

Compatible with Kepler 4 Calibration and Management Software

The AWS Professional Torque Tool Tester features data output, allowing the tester to be connected to a PC for the direct input of readings into software such as the Kepler 4 Calibration and Management Software for torque tools. This allows for the fast verification and calibration of torque tools, eliminating data entry errors.

Recalibration at any torque calibration laboratory

Being an independent company, all our torque equipment can be easily calibrated by any accredited calibration laboratory wherever they are in the world, allowing you to save time and cost by using local calibration services with short lead times.

Mounting

The Professional Torque Tool Tester can be mounted on a bench or wall / stanchion with four bolts. The display uses a fully flexible yet stiff swan neck. This allows the operator to position the display in the most convenient position.

If you wish to wall mount the Professional Torque Tool Tester, speak to our experts to discuss this.

The torque tester does not come supplied with mounting bolts or screws. The mounting holes have a diameter of 8.5mm.
