With the introduction of new test and calibration equipment,  Proto has positioned itself as a full torque solutions provider. Most companies that use torque wrenches have regularly scheduled calibration checks. To help meet this need Proto is introducing a new stand-alone Torque Tester, and expanding its line of Transducers Torque Tester. Testing and calibrating a torque wrench usually requires three separate tools: a transducer, a bracket, and a meter. But the  Proto® Torque Tester streamlines the process by combining all three functions in one tool. The tool can be used to test all types of torque wrenches in all types of settings where full-scale calibration is needed or where a quick Pass/Fail check is required. Potential users include those in production facilities, quality control as well as in calibration labs. The new testers offer the following: • Five SKUs that offer a test range of 5 in-lbs to 600 ft-lbs. • Accuracy of +/-1% of indicated value in clockwise and counter clockwise directions, over a range of 10% to 100% of Full Scale. • Three units of measure: ft-lb, in-lb, and Nm. • Three operating modes: Track Mode, Peak Hold and First Peak (for use with Click-style Torque wrenches). • An easy to read LCD Display with large digits • A dial display that rotates for easy viewing of the LCD display and easy access to the keypad. • Rugged, all steel construction. • A target torque zone that’s adjustable from 1% to 10% of targeted torque value for a quick PASS/FAIL indication. • Red/Green/Yellow lights, as well as an audible buzzer, to signal when torque target zones are approaching and met. • A 50-hour run time on a standard 9-volt battery Testers meet or exceed requirements set forth in ASME B107.29. An optional steel stand provides a strong support with minimal footprint. The stand has predrilled holes for securing it to the floor and for mounting the Tester.
