Child Resistant Closure Adapter (1605)

The Model 1605 Child Resistant Closure Adapter enables the TORQO® to be used for measuring the removal torque on the CR type cap that requires a down force to be opened.

This option consists of a mechanism and gauge to allow for setting the down force on the closure.

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 regulator is used to set the down force that is applied during a test.

The installation of this option on a TORQO does not affect in any way its use on conventional bottles. When not in use the down force foot pivots to the rear and out of the way.

Multi-Speed Option (MS)

Model 1502 only: The multi-speed option adds a selector switch on the rear panel of drive tower.This option was designed specifically for testing bottle caps with tamper evident bands. The increased speed of the drive provides for a cleaner tear of the material that connects the band to the cap.

This option may also be used for performing more rapid testing. However one must be careful, when using the system in this manner, to make sure that the increased speed is not distorting the measurements.

The Speed Selector Switch enables the user to select the following four speeds.

• Position 1: 1 RPM
• Position 2: 2 RPM
• Position 3: 4 RPM
• Position 4: 6 RPM

When a speed other than 1 RPM is selected, it will be used in all the Test Modes with the exception of the Removal & Incremental Mode. The Removal & Incremental Mode is an industry standard and cannot be changed, and this test is always performed at 1 RPM.

When a high speed is selected, the system will drive at the selected speed for the first 75% of a closing cycle and then automatically revert to 1 RPM for the remaining 25% of the cycle.

Model 1600 has the option to have an infinately variable test speed (1 - 10 rpm) controlled via the touch screen control panel

Key Lock Switch (KLS)

Standard equipment on all model 1590 & 1600 Torqo's.

The key lock option adds a key actuated switch on the front control panel of the Torqo.

This option was designed to prevent the inadvertent altering of the Torqo setup.
