Bottle Cap Tester

Crane's Check Star sets the standard for dynamic torque and angle measurement of all continuous drive and impulse tools, with proven reliable performance in thousands of applications worldwide.

Check Star Transducers fit in-line between the assembly tool and the fastener, measuring the actual torques applied under production conditions.

Whatever the vibration and shock loads experienced, check star's patented contact system ensures contact is always maintained between the readout and the strain gauges. Inferior systems suffer from "brush bounce" that leads to unreliable torque readings.

The low inertia design of check star ensures accurate and repeatable measurement of high speed transients, such as the point of shut-off on continuous drive tools and the pulsing of impulse tools.

Check Star forms an essential part of the crane uta torque system, enabling plug and play operation with crane readout devices. On board intelligence means the uta check star is automatically recognised by the crane readout device, eliminating setup errors and enabling logging of serial number against measurements for complete traceability. An industry standard (is) version is also available where a user needs the advanced features of the check star but already has a readout device from another manufacturer. Both versions can be specified to include an angle encoder with 0. 5° resolution.

Capstar is a simple and easy to use digital torque tester. The accurate information provided can then be stored in the internal memory, and downloaded to a printer or computer.

The lcd digital read-out clearly displays the peak torque of each test. Preferred units of measurement may be selected from a list of seven options. Statistical analysis of sigma, mean and range is also available when the data is printed out.

Containers to be tested are located in adjustable jig capable of clamping circular or custom bottles and jars from 10 mm to 130 mm in diameter. Child resistant closures, much used in the pharmaceutical industry, can also be tested.

Capstar ii is housed in a rugged, drip proof abs housing with wipe-clean, touch sensitive controls. Capstar ii is portable, battery powered and can be used with an optional mains battery charging unit. The screen displays a warning when the batteries need replacing or charging. To save power capstar ii switches off automatically if no key is pressed within a specified pre-set period.
