PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
CDI-SURETEST MODEL 5000-ST
The SURETEST is a laboratory grade instrument that provides
TORQUE measurements. Although designed as an independent
laboratory equipment, it can also be used in an integrated environment as
the principal component of a Torque Calibration System. The
SURETEST features versatile data acquisition capabilities including
measurement storage, retrieval, statistical analysis and automatic
downloading to an external printer/computer. A remote computer COM
port is available for PC interfacing.
Used with precision torque transducers, the SURETEST provides high
speed monitoring of static or dynamic torque inputs. Torque/force
transducers, purchased separately, are available in ranges from 15-200
in- oz, to 200-2000 ft-lb, and provide system readings with an accuracy
of +/- 0.25% of indicated value, or better. A special memory chip is
built into each torque/force transducer that identifies its range and
maintains its calibration between any other SURETEST with an
accuracy of +/- 0.5%. The SURETEST and its transducers may be
calibrated by using accessory precision bars and certified weights.
All readout of torque in ft-lb, in-lb, in-oz, Nm, dNm, cNm, mkg as well
as calibration, statistical analysis and set-up functions are reported on a
versatile 1.5” x 5.5” graphic dot matrix Liquid Crystal Display (LCD).
Set-up and calibration programming is entered using easy-to-use front
panel membrane keys. The number of keys is kept to a minimum. In
addition, concise menus and graphic symbols are used to guide the user
through all set-ups and operations. HIGH and LOW torque limits are
adjustable to give an audible alert. The user selects TRACK mode to
display torque values as they are applied, PEAK HOLD or POWER
TOOL modes to display the highest torque value applied, or FIRST
PEAK mode which captures the torque output at the “click” of a set-able
wrench or driver. CLEAR, STORE and SEND functions can be set up
for automatic or manual operation.
The SURETEST stores and recalls up to 3000 torque readings and does
statistical analysis on them for downloading to printer or computer. The
statistical report (print out) includes a simple histogram for process
monitoring. True RS-232 serial printer and separate RS-232 computer
COM ports are at the back of the unit
