Using the TCM to check that the correct torque is applied to caps ensures that leakage and product deterioration are kept to a minimum, allows safe storage and transportation and provides the end user with a quality product that is well sealed yet easy to open.

TCM's dual SI Metric and Imperial scale incorporates a maximum reading memory system to record the maximum torque value applied. The five models have an accuracy of  plus or minus 2% of reading in the preferred range and measure torque in both clockwise and anticlockwise directions and cover ranges up to 15 N.m.
All models of the TCM are now fitted with the new superior versatile clamping system which securely holds a multitude of shapes and sizes of container. However special customised and optional systems can be fitted on request, as can Xspecial customised scales to suit specific requirements.

Angles of each set of clamping system jaws are adjustable to 6 settings with a maximum grip capacity of 135mm round or square.
