Semi-automated Torque Test on Medical Syringes

In this video medical syringes are tested using a semi-automated Vortex-xt touch-screen controlled torque testing system. The specially adapted system has a pneumatic actuator to lower the torque measuring head onto the syringe to reduce operator fatigue and increase test reproducibility. The system can be programmed with acceptable limits for the syringe, and the operator is presented with a colour coded result for easy identification of the sample status.
