Torque data collector now features on-screen messages

Crane Electronics' TorqueStar Opta torque data collector is now available with a new text attribute function. This "call to action' feature to, for example, instruct the operator to perform an additional non-measurement action when using the audit tool. It could prompt for a visual inspection to be carried out on a particular part being fitted, or could ask whether all necessary documentation has been attached.

TorqueStar Opta is specified by manufacturers within many industries for the measurement and collection of torque data. Its software can be configured to the required application so that it can be used as a simple readout system or a comprehensive audit tool with SPC functions.

The torque data collector is easy to use; wrenches and transducers are automatically recognised when they are a connected to the unit, and complex measurement routines can be set up on the data collector, which will guide the operator step by step through them.

This new feature brings added versatility to TorqueStar Opta. Existing users wishing to upgrade their product should contact Crane Electronics by emailing [email protected] or go to www.crane-electronics.com.
