In the world of manufacturing and assembly, measurement of torque tightening of fasteners is imperative for the effectiveness of production and product quality. On one hand, loose attachment may vibrate or loosen, on the other hand if the torque is too high a bold can break. Faced with these problems, manufacturers are realizing that a well-managed torque system can make the difference between a safe, reliable, economic product and a complete disaster.  read more...

A Force Gauge is a measuring instrument used across all industries to measure the force during a push or pull test. Applications exist in research and development, laboratory, quality, production and field environment. There are two kind of force gauges today: mechanical and digital force gauges.  read more...

Measuring forces of a spring is one of the most important test to determine the quality of a springs. Indeed all the springs are designed to have an expected force at a particular height, it is essential to validate the calculations and especially the manufacturing parameters by measuring forces.

In order to improve the setup of cap screwing machine, Com-Ten Industries has designed force and torque gauges with special sensors to measure directly on the machine. These testers are called "measuring bottles" and can measure torque or force.  read more...

Puncture tests are used to evaluate the properties of thin materials at break, puncture or drill. To measure these properties, a penetrator or needle is applied with a constant speed on the material to a failure or to a predetermined elongation.  read more...

Topload tests or Crush tests are specially designed to ensure the resistance of bottles, cans or drums during the filling process or transportation. These tests can easily detect defects in production to avoid most of the problems during filling, storage, shipping or crating.  read more...

It is sometimes really hard to measure the torque on caps. The quality of the measure depends on different parameters: material, operator, torque tester. So you can have important differences between results and it is impossible to have a good repeatability. Com-Ten Industries gives you advises to improve you measurements.  read more...

At some point, manufacturers will find themselves in this situation: they have to test their new product in manufacturing - the question is how to do it. What equipment should they choose? What is the best device to use to ensure good results? How can production be validated without getting the boss upset about the budget?  read more...
