AWS: Fixed Drive Torque Loader

Loaders

Reduce technician fatigue. Increase throughput of large torque wrenches.

Loaders for How You Work
There are two schools of thought on how best to load a torque wrench: apply force to the torque wrench handle while preventing the wrench square drive from moving, or by preventing the handle from moving while rotating the output square of the wrench. AWS produces both styles of loaders.

Build the Best System for You
AWS designs and manufactures loaders so that they can be enhanced easily. We offer expanded capability, multiple use platforms, offset reaction fixtures, arms and segments to test cable tensiometers. Build your own system with the lowest price-to-value ratio in the industry.

Automate for Increased Accuracy
All of the AWS torque wrench loaders can be supplied with a motor and controller for semi-automatic torque wrench testing, increasing throughput on large torque wrenches while reducing technician influence on torque measurements.

AWS-MTM Series loaders are designed to use the QC, QCM, AWS-3000, AWS-5000, AWS-MTM, AWS-MTMDP and/or the ITI/ITF bench stand transducers. These loaders can also be semi-automated by adding our motor and controller package.

The AWS-MTM style torque wrench loaders are used in conjunction with AWS-MTM, AWS-QC, AWS-QCM and any of our transducers that are mounted in bench stands. These systems provide accuracies up to ±0.25% of indicated reading, top 90% of range, satisfying calibration requirements while its robust design enables use in the harshest environments.

The optional rolling cart provides a sturdy base as well as secure storage for transducers, adapters, and tools. The cabinet features heavy duty casters, locking wheels and cabinets with keylock security.

Intellect Series Transducers
AWS offers a complete line of Intellect Series static torque transducers to cover a range from 0.5 Oz.in. through 1,000 Lb.ft. The transducer calibration data is stored within the transducer housing. The range and calibration information is read directly when the transducer is connected to the AWS-4050, Tools v2, or the AWS-MTM displays.

Features

• System accuracy of ±0.25% of indicated reading, top 90% of range available.
• Solid machined aluminum base for stability.
• Lead screw moves wrench handle to load transducer.
• Two position handle for faster/slower movement.
• Wrench reaction slide for ease of adjustment for torque wrench handle length.
• Precision ways provide crosshead movement for the length of the main carriage.

Specifications of Tester and Display

AWS instrument choices for the MTM style loaders

AWS-QC: Single transducer and display in a machined aluminum housing ±1% Ind.

AWS-QCM: Single transducer and display in a machined aluminum housing ±0.25% Ind.

AWS-3000: Single transducer with display metal housing ±0.5% Ind.

AWS-MTM: Multiple transducers and single display in a metal housing ±0.5% Ind.

AWS-4050: Portable display. Will work with any Intellect bench stand transducer ±0.5% Ind.

AWS-8000: Touch screen analyzer display will work with any digital transducer ±0.5% Ind.

Tools v2: This application will work with any AWS display and will allow user's PC to become the analyzer/display when used with digital transducers or digital interfaces. Additionally, Tool v2 provides tool management and calibration certificate printing and archiving.

Different analyzer displays, instruments and transducers will require the specific adapter plate designed for use with the MTM style loaders. Please inquire of our customer service and sales staff to make sure adapter plates are paired with transducer and instruments choices.
