Bench-top torque meter BARImètre®

for torque adjustmentautomaticmanual

The BARImeter® is a precision metrology device that offers a great flexibility in the measurement of microtechnical, horological and medical parts. In particular, it is possible to measure small friction torques in both directions of rotation as well as holding torques. Examples: - Barrel measurement - Friction-wheel measurement The BARImètre® measurement instrument was developed by CLA to meet its customers’ watchmaking and microtechnology requirements. This metrology instrument is ideal for measuring torque both in the laboratory and during production. It runs on an embedded PC with Windows CE operating system, ensuring that the device has a high level of connectivity and autonomy in operation. This compact and user friendly device is driven by BARImètre® Manager software designed by CLA’s R&D department. Barrel measurement The BARImètre® is used for inspecting manual and automatic barrels. Measuring torque involves recording the torque curve depending on how tightly the spring is wound. Parameters can be set by the user for a configuration suited to each part type. The BARImètre® is also able to detect various characteristic values on these curves and calculate overall values, such as yield, that cannot be read directly from a graph. The point value for torque at any test point can also be read accurately from the graph. It also offers many different fatigue tests to carry out and determine barrel ageing and main-spring bridle behaviour in the case of a manual barrel.
