BIG Kaiser Torque Fit tightening fixture for chucks available from ITC prevents over-tightening

Torque Fit, a tightening fixture for collet chucks with an integrated torque indicator, has been introduced by BIG Kaiser. UK availability is via Industrial Tooling Corporation (ITC). The aim of the system is to aid precision machining by notifying the user of a correctly set torque value via an audible buzzer. Torque Fit was developed to replace the need for multiple torque wrenches and comes with adapters for all common machine tool interfaces, including HSK, SK and BT.

With convenience in mind, the torque values of all BIG Kaiser collet chucks available from ITC are pre-set. Users can, however, set the torque to any value of their choosing from 4 to 80 Nm. The minimum read value is 0.01 Nm at less than 10 Nm, and 0.1 Nm at 10 Nm or more. Torque Fit also includes an error LED to indicate over-tightening.
