PET bottle is the most typical beverage container. Its hard-to-open cap may lead to unsatisfied user experiences, which affects the beverage brand image negatively. Conversely, easy-to-open cap helps create a favorable impression to consumers. This video will show you how to measure the torque (peak value) required to open the cap of 1.5L PET bottle with motorized torque stand. The test will start at set speed and stop at set torque value automatically. By using a dedicated graphing software, the relationship between torque and angle can be shown graphically. You can visually check the transition of the torque when the cap is opened on graph. It is widely used for quality control and R&D.

This is key turning force (torque) test. Using rotation support jig, the torque transition during one turn of the key is analyzed for evaluation and quality control.

This test determines the opening torque of spout pouch cap. The fixture in the video is custom-made one special for spout pouch cap. The tester handles spout pouch packages for such as jelly, juice, cosmetic refill etc. It is used for quality control and R&D.

This is torque test of lipstick and lip balm containers for quality control and R&D.

Rotate the specialized attachment to measure rotary motor's torque and analyze torque-angle by the software for performance evaluation, quality control and R&D.

To determine the opening/closing force of a bottle's screw cap, fix the specimen by IMADA screw cap torque tester and rotate the specimen by hand. IMADA offers the dedicated torque testing system such as the following configuration, which is widely used in quality control and R&D.

To determine the torque of a motorcycle’s accelerator, grip the motorcycle’s handlebar with a dedicated grip, and turn the handlebar. IMADA offers the dedicated testing system such as the following configuration, which can graphically visualize the relation between torque and angle. Operativity can be analyzed by comparing test results of different test speed, too. This system is utilized for quality control and R&D.
