Customizable Jaw Sets for 1624 Quick Clamp Vise - Jaw sets can be customized for curved, rectangular as well as other uniquely shaped bottle bases.  

 

 

Closure Tooling


1606 - Compression Ring Chuck

  • The model 1606 Compressed Ring Chuck is used for gripping primarily smooth sided caps. However this chuck may also be used on a finely serrated cap or an non-uniformly serrated cap. In the beverage industry this chuck is used on aluminum roll on caps (ROPP) as well as lug caps, while in the pharmaceutical industry this chuck can be used in conjunction with steel continuous thread type caps. 18 mm to 53 mm caps can be accommodated utilizing a compression ring chuck.
 

Closure Gripping Chucks

EDM Chuck Small (0-32MM)

EDM Chuck Medium (33-43MM)

EDM Chuck Large (44-63MM)

EDM Chuck X-Large (64MM+)

  • An EDM style chuck is used for gripping serrated caps with serrations that are greater than .006 inches deep but less than .030 inches deep.
 

1626 - Slide Chuck (ROPP CLOSURES)

  • The 1626 Slide Chuck can be used to torque test roll-on-pilfer proof (ROPP) caps which are commonly used to package product in the alcoholic beverage and wine industries. The unique jaw sets allow the chuck  to grip the rolled on serration patterns of the cap in order to perfom both destructive and non-destrucitve torque testing.

Petaloid Base Plates

  • The petaloid plates are commonly used in the beverage industry in order to support the base of different sized products during torque testing. Mesa Labs offers numerous petaloid base designs which can accomodate a variety of different bottle shapes and sizes. The petaloid plates are used in conjunction with the 1506 Beverage Bottle Clamp.

 

 

Calibration Verification and Maintenance


1507 - Torqo Calibration Kit

  • With a 1507 Calibration Kit, the accuracy of your Torqo can be verified or a complete on-site calibration can be performed by the user. Contained in this kit is a precision Calibration Disk, a ball bearing load support assembly and the necessary hardware to use this kit. The weights required for performing a calibration are not included in the kit but may be purchased from Mesa Laboratories, Inc.

Torqo Calibration Weights

  • The weights required for performing a calibration are not included with the Torqo field calibration kit. The weights are sold as a separate itemdue to the fact that the size of the weights will vary depending on the torque capacity of the customer's Torqo system and in some cases the customer may already have the necessary weights on-hand.

1605 - Child Resistant Closure Option

  • The Model 1605 Child Resistant Closure Option enables the Torqo to be used for measuring the removal torque on the child resistant type cap that requires a down force in order to be opened. An air supply with the ability to provide a minimum of 60 PSI is required for this option. Both an air filter and an adjustable air regulator are contained in this kit and permanently mounted to the drive cover. The installation of this option on a Torqo does not affect in any way its use on conventional bottles and caps.
