Our torque and force testers: Variocouple, Digimes, Torque and Force sensors |
Used to measure torque and force of low stress system. It represents the ideal instrument for research & development laboratories of watchmakers but also for stepper motors, rotary dynamometers, flowmeter and spring industry.Our focus on research and development helps us to continue our tradition of cutting edge technology and superior performance specifications. We manufacture testing modules that can be configured alone or combined together on a testing platform for a single instrument capable of multiple analysis modes.
In the design of our instruments, we integrate the testing module(s) with imaging module(s) for a seamless testing and imaging process. The modules and microscopes are positionally synchronized so the instrument automatically moves the point of interest under the appropriate imager with a single click. It also allows us to correlate optical coating failures (like cracks) to the exact force, depth, and frictional force… that was occurring at that time.
Additionally, we have a thorough sample testing service and demonstration laboratory where you can send us your samples for evaluation or take a firsthand look at our instruments
