The VTG Tornado touchscreen torque tester is portable and rated to IP54 for testing the applied and release torque of a diverse range of products.
Measures up to
Record peak readings with a much greater accuracy than analogue torque meters and plot the graph to identify when the bridges of a tamper-evident band are broken. Reach new heights with a simple and cost-effective solution for torque applications.

Emperor™ Software
Vector OS
Our touchscreen instruments are powered by Vector OS, Mecmesin's technology platform for its latest force and torque test equipment. It delivers intuitive and customisable user interfaces, as well as advanced data acquisition and analysis.
To enhance your testing power you can connect all Vector instruments to a computer and use Mecmesin's VectorPro Lite software for data plotting and reporting.
Advanced data acquisition and plotting
Live tension and compression values are captured and automatically sent to VectorPro Lite to plot the graph of force vs time/displacement.
This helps to visually identify and report on any events during a test that cannot be picked up through the instrument display.
To help determine whether your sample has met the necessary criteria, there is a suite of standard calculations with indicators of pass or fail to immediately alert the operator.
A statistical analysis of results per batch of samples is produced and then incorporated, together with the graphs, into a customisable PDF or CSV test report for your customer.
Collect data from instruments
Expand your force or torque gauge to plot the curve of tension, compression or torque on a graph.
Collect the data and use built-in calculations to see if results meet your pass/fail criteria.
Export the results and data to Excel or use them to generate test reports in PDF format.
User licences
Your licence key grants full and unlimited use - there's no hidden extras or limitations - you get the full package.
