Overview Introduction Mesa Laboratories, Inc is an industry leader in the manufacturing of precision torque measuring equipment Over forty years of experience in the torque-testing field is reflected in every automated system Mesa’s commitment to supplying state of the art products has resulted in the development of the Torqo II+ and its patented measuring system The Model 1600 Torqo II+ with minimal maintenance will provide the user with years of trouble free service What’s Inside This manual is designed to provide the user with a step-by-step procedure from receipt of the system through operation, maintenance and calibration A Guide to Using Model 1600 Torqo II+ Overview w Adjusting the Down Force Air Control Knob Once connected, the Air Control Knob should be adjusted to provide the required amount of down force Observe the down force gauge on the front of the tower cover while adjusting the knob Air Input Connection In most cases, a down force of 15 to 20 lbs will open a child resistant closure A Guide to Using Model 1600 Torqo II+ Child Resistant Cap Option w 104 Down Force Mechanism Nomenclature The names in the callouts below will be used when describing the setup and adjustment of the Child Resistant Down Force Mechanism Foot Shaft Position Clamp Foot Support Shaft Down Support Foot Drive Shaft Bearing & Collar Clamp Drive Shaft Cap Chuck Adjusting the Down Force Foot The Down Force Foot applies the force on the cap by pressing down on the Drive Shaft Bearing when the Down Force Switch is actuated A Guide to Using Model 1600 Torqo II+ Child Resistant Cap Option w 105 To adjust the foot, put the Down Force wench in the up position and then place the sample to be tested in the bottle holding fixture Now position the Cap Chuck on the cap by lowering the drive shaft Pivot the Down Force Foot over the top of the Drive Shaft Bearing and adjust for approximately 1/16 of an inch of clearance (i.e the thickness of a quarter) Loosening the Foot Position Shaft Clamp and sliding the Foot Support Shaft up or down and then retightening the clamp makes this adjustment Operating the Child Resistant Mechanism Once the mechanism has been adjusted, a sample is tested by pivoting the foot into position and actuating the Down Force Switch At the conclusion of the test cycle, move the switch to the up position and pivot the foot to the rear Repeat this procedure for the next sample A Guide to Using Model 1600 Torqo II+ Child Resistant Cap Option w 106 Using Windows XP What’s Inside This chapter contains a description of the Windows XP feature and

operate for many years with a minimum amount of maintenance However the Torqo, like any precision measuring tool, should be periodically checked for accuracy (See System Calibration) The calibration of the Torqo should be checked at least twice a year A protective cover can be supplied for those applications where wash downs are frequently performed General Maintenance Keep the system clean, for this will make the use of the Torqo more pleasureable Disconnect the power to the system when cleaning A Guide to Using Model 1600 Torqo II+ Maintenance and Cleaning w 113 Clean the exterior with a mild detergent and a soft cloth Avoid abrasive cleaners that may scratch the lens on the torque display and the keypad Cleaning the Tooling The functionality of the bottle holding tooling and the chucks should be periodically checked All bottle tooling should move smoothly and easily Chucks should slip onto caps with the minimal amount of force 1506 Beverage Bottle Clamp This tool is made from corrosion resisting materials and therefore it can be fully submerged in hot soapy water for cleaning Remove the fixture by unscrewing the mounting screws and lifting straight up Make sure the center hole is clean before re-installing the fixture 1624 Quick Clamp Vise This tool can also be submerged in hot soapy water but care should be taken to thoroughly dry the lead screw and then it should be lubricated with light oil A Guide to Using Model 1600 Torqo II+ Maintenance and Cleaning w 114 Recommended Power Off Procedure Touch Panel PC Overview The current Torqo II+ Model 1600 uses a touch panel PC running Microsoft Windows XP Embedded operating system from an internal Compact Flash card It is possible for some files on the Compact Flash to have problems by repeatedly turning off the touchpanel PC while the Torqo program is running or while Windows itself is running Normally this will not be an issue, but over time it might cause problems with some files on the Compact Flash disk In order to remove this chance we recommend that the Windows touchpanel PC be shut down before turning off the power switch, using the following procedure Alternately the Torqo unit can be left running A procedure to check and repair the files on the Compact Flash card is also given here I Power Off Procedure First, exit the Torqo application by going to the Main Menu and selecting Exit to Windows Please note the keyswitch must be in Program position for the Exit to Windows button to be visible Press OK to exit the Torqo application Next, press the Start button in the lower left of the Torqo touchpanel screen You will see the following dialog Select the Turn Off Computer button at the bottom Then select the Turn Off Computer option and press OK When the computer screen goes blank and the green power LED is OFF then it is OK to turn the power switch OFF Appendix A 902023-001-A w II Running Check Disk on the Compact Flash card Performing this check disk process once per month should be done if the touchpanel is routinely shut off without closing down the Windows operating system as shown above Exit the Torqo application to Windows as described above Press the Start button in the lower left corner of the desktop Double tap on My Computer to get the My Computer screen shown below Press and hold the HARDDISK (C:) icon (or right click with a mouse) and select the Properties as shown below Appendix A 902023-001-A w The Harddisk Properties dialog will appear, click on the Tools tab along the top to get the screen below Click the Check Now button to get the screen shown below Check both Checkboxes as shown then click the Start button Since the Compact Flash card is being used the check disk will occur on restart, and the following message will appear Click Yes Shutdown the computer as described on Page then restart it by turning the power back on The check disk process may take 15 minutes or so to complete after the touchpanel restarts If you have any questions or comments about this procedure please contact torqo@mesalabs.com for further assistance Appendix A 902023-001-A w Also Available from Mesa Labs • Torqo II+ 1600 Cap Test System •
