Case study
Custom bottle cap mandrels
Customised engineering example
Plastic caps applied to bottles may be thin-walled and flexible, so that they become distorted when gripped by an operator during torque testing.

Case study
Split mandrels for closure torque testing
Customised engineering example
Smooth surfaces of twist caps, used on bottles and jars, require enough gripping force to avoid slipping during a torque test but without creating distortion in the cap.
