Torque Measurement System

Automotive Design & Production, Dec, 2007

ASI DataMyte's (www.asidatamyte.com) LightStar Torque Measurement System provides a solution to reduce false readings commonly found in peak torque auditing. A solid-state gyro in the wrench head captures torque only when the fastener actually turns. Angle resolution is 0.037[degrees], while the instrumentation and logic built into the data collector differentiates between windup in the drive, socket, and bolt head. A multi-colored LED indicator in the wrench head instantly notifies the operator of good (green) or bad (red) torque readings when the wrench is connected to an ASI DataMyte data collector.
