Industrial-Physics - Model Torus TQ-Lab -Automatic Total Quality System

Brought to you by Torus, the Torus Automatic Total Quality (TQ) Lab is a fully configurable system capable of measuring thread, body, thickness, internal diameter, top load, volume, weight and burst pressures.

Plastic packaging requires precision measurement of many aspects, such as material thickness, outer body and neck physical dimensions, neck diameter and volume as well as load testing for crushing and pressure.

The Torus TQ-Lab is a unique, total quality testing station for plastic packaging such as plastic bottles and jars, typically used for soft drinks, health supplements, cosmetics, and domestic cleaning products.

Total Quality Testing

The TQ-Lab can undertake all the necessary tests on both empty and filled plastic containers or preforms in a single system. The multi-module concept improves accuracy and repeatability, reduces time and labor costs and saves on floor space in production environments. Once batches of plastic containers are placed onto the turnaround conveyor, the operator simply selects the relevant program and walks away.

Measurement features
Choose from between 2 and 4 measurement modules to customize your TQ Lab:

• B302 – Thread, Body and Thickness Module
• B304 – Load, Volume and Weight Module
• B303 – Burst Pressures Module
• B309 – Internal Diameter Module

Customize your Total Quality solution!

Our modular gauge setups are unique and allow you to customize your gauge as and when you require, giving you the flexibility to ensure you have a total quality solution.

Choose from a range of conveyor options, and finally choose your modules (a minimum of a 2 station configuration through to a maximum of 4).
