High precision angle and torque measurement.
Easy to use control, measurement, analysis software.
Capture data at 1000 samples per second.
Closed loop of torque, angle and other feedback sensors.
Create waveforms such as ramp, dwell, and cyclic triangular.
Test fixtures and frame configurations made to requirements.
TG3 3 Nm low torque test system
TG with test bed and Jacobs grips
160Q-TG Series
160Q-TG Series systems are configured to requirements with our
versatile modular product line. The QT stand-alone controller features
high speed PID control integrated with a TG servomotor-gearhead
selected for torque and speed requirements. The system is capable of
static constant angular speed or torsion load rate tests with a cyclic
mode for repetitive triangular waveforms that can cycle between
angular positions or torque load limits. Tests can last millions of cycles
or until sample failure. The system requires 110V (220V optional)
electrical power.
TG System testing wire with axial preload
Each system includes:
Tabletop or bench style frame.

Electromechanical motor and gear-head with position encoder.
QT Controller for angle and torque measurement and control
Torque Cell and encoder.
Optional XYT Test software to setup, run, save data, analysis and
report generation.
160Q Educational
Teaching System
Options
Low friction linear slide for axial preload applications (free or clamped).
Test fixtures include Jacob chucks, collets, and grips.
Flexible TouchPad Controller
QT TouchPad controllers perform standard mechanical torsional tests. The controller may be operated in standalone or computerized
mode with accurate torque and angular position measurement and control. Torque and angle can be captured and stored at adjustable
speeds up to a maximum rate of 1000 samples per second. The QT controller enables the operator to set up and store different test
setups, run the test, display test data in real time and display calculated results at test completion. The controller handles limit
detection, emergency stop, jog up and down and can optionally connect to a PC.
Powerful XYT Test Software
XY Software enables the operator to perform all the keypad functions using a PC equipped with a USB port. With XY, you can set up,
run a test, capture and store the test data, plot it and generate a test report. XY is available in several levels of performance and price.

XyPlot imports and exports test and machine data to a PC, enabling
the operator to edit, store, upload and download test methods,

calibrations, calculated test results, and raw test data. ASCII data can
be transferred, stored and analyzed by programs such as Microsoft
Excel. The torsion-angle data can be plotted for viewing, printing or
exporting after the test concludes. XyLive extends that if you want
live data plotting, expanded data storage or want to develop their own
analysis packages XyLive is essential in cyclic testing applications
and applications where more than 15000 data strings are needed.
Test speed is constant regardless of sample load. The controller
measures position change with an encoder. A high resolution 24 bit
A/D converter provides high quality position and torque data.
Resulting test data is stored or available as data for use by a PC
equipped with Xy software. In addition, the QT controller includes
calculated analyses that help improve operator efficiency.
QT Controller
Data is acquired at user adjustable speeds up to 1000
samples per sec. A strain bridge signal conditioner is
included for the torque cell. Includes an angular position
encoder.
Test Measurement and Control

Create single or dual segment ramps for strength, creep,
stress relaxation and position or load controlled triangular
cyclic tests. Execute tests in torque or angular position
control. Live numeric read outs and stress-strain plots with
analyses make it easy to create test reports. Large easyto-read numeric displays show live, peak and rate
readings.
Create, save and recall test methods to ensure accurate

and repeatable testing when operators switch. User
selectable English, Metric and SI units.
Results may be displayed or sent to Xy Test software to
be stored, printed or exported to other PC programs.
Produce single or multiple test reports. An XY plot with
multiple XY curves overlaid on the same set of graph
axes is optional.
Produce hardcopy single test reports, group test reports
and load deflection or X-Y plots. Store test data and
results to hard disk in ASCII delimited format for easy
import into popular spreadsheet and database programs.
