The HelixaPro is a high-precision torque tester with integrated VectorPro software.
Tailored for intricate applications demanding pinpoint accuracy, this tool is particularly well-suited for evaluating the mechanical characteristics of small components in medical devices, watches, cosmetics applicators, and bearings, ensuring that they comply with strict quality standards.
The HelixaPro is designed for ease of use, and when paired with application-specific fixturing, it becomes the ideal solution for torque measurements ranging from 1 mN.m to 6 N.m. This design ensures precise alignment between the torque sensor and drive motor. Combined with a counterbalanced crosshead to eliminate the weight of a grip, it ensures optimum accuracy and repeatability particularly when testing at extremely low torque.
This device incorporates cutting-edge electronics and a suite of high-resolution Enhanced Torque Sensors (ETS). With a reading accuracy of 0.5% and a resolution of 1:50,000, it allows for a wider range of tests to be performed without the need to switch torque sensors. This advancement in technology ensures exceptional accuracy when it comes to torque measurement, setting a new industry standard.
The user-friendly front panel of the HelixaPro provides live torque and angle readings, complemented by precise manual positioning of the rotary table using the multifunction controller. Visual cues, conveyed through colored LEDs during testing, ensure a seamless testing experience by indicating the machine's status.
The system comes with integrated VectorPro testing software, which simplifies the creation of step-by-step test routines tailored to specific testing procedures. Configured tests can also be easily accessed from the home screen at the touch of a button, further enhancing the user experience.
