12.1 Unpacking and Assembly
Carefully remove the sensor from the box. Install the four posts in the desired
positions on the sliders. If alternative gripping fixtures were purchased, install
them using the supplied hardware.
12.2 Overview
Designed for clockwise and counter-clockwise bottle cap torque testing.
Turning the knob moves the sliders along the length of the screw to engage to
disengage the sample. The posts or alternative gripping fixtures secure the sample while the cap is
twisted by hand. The sensor contains threaded holes on the underside of the base for bench mounting.
