The B303 Semi-Automatic Bottle Burst Gauge has been developed to verify production containers meet the minimum pressure requirements.
The systems monitors expansion volumes and yield points to provide important information regarding the stability of the bottle.
Quick-change tooling provides the capability to cover a wide range of industry neck finishes, future production proofing the machine as customer requirements and portfolios develop. With an expansion volume of up to 2400ml, the system covers small vials to large water keg containers.
The proven contact measurement technology ensures accurate, reliable and traceable measurement 24/7.
The system has the option of being mains water supplied or recirculating from a local water tank, reducing running costs and therefore cost of ownership.
Reporting options such as standard CSV or Statistical Process Control (SPC).
Traceable to UKAS standards.

The Torus surface profiler measurement system utilises state-of-the-art confocal technology for rapid non-contact inspection of surface profiles on orthopaedic femoral knees, eliminating the need for handheld and subjective profile gauges and comparators
The system is designed for operational use on the shop floor therefore giving the machine tool operator a quick and repeatable measurement without having to go in to the inspection lab.
Polychromatic white light is focused onto the target surface by a multi-lens optical system. The lenses are arranged so that the white light is dispersed into monochromatic light by controlled chromatic aberration. Specific distance to the target is assigned to each wavelength which is exactly focused on the target is used for measurement.
This unique measuring principle enables displacements and distances to be measured with high precision and extreme spatial resolution. Cast, finished and highly polished surfaces can be measured without the requirement for surface preparation or machine adjustment.
Since the emitter and receiver are arranged in a single axis, shadowing is avoided, in contrast to conventional triangulation sensors.
The 4-axis motion control system is driven by high accuracy micro-stepping motors giving positional feedback, providing high resolution and high speed with stability and reliability.

Torus’ A542 Actabular Cup Gauge gives critical measurement information on a variety of measurement features
Torus’ Floor Standing Acetabular Cup Gauge is designed specifically for Orthopaedic Hip manufacturers who need control their Acetabular Cups quickly, accurately and beside the machine tool. The gauge can accommodate the full range of Acetabular Cups and gives critical measurement information on inferred mouth diameter, internal taper angle, taper straightness and an accurate indication of rounds.
To operate, simply scan the batch card with a barcode reader and the software will automatically select the relevant component type from the menu and the powerful Windows software will prompt you to load the specific Acetabular Cup.
Important trace information can also be attributed, to ensure easy analysis and comparison to assist in process control.
Eliminating the need for handheld and subjective profile gauges and comparators, Torus’ A540 Patella Insert Gauge utilises state of the art confocal technology for rapid non-contact inspection of surface profiles on orthopaedic patella inserts
Torus’ Polymer Patella Insert measurement system utilises state-of-the-art confocal technology for rapid non-contact inspection of surface profiles on orthopaedic patella inserts, eliminating the need for handheld and subjective profile gauges and comparators which can potentially mark the component and are less accurate. The system is designed for operational use on the shop-floor therefore giving the machine tool operator or quality control personnel a quick and repeatable measurement without having to go to the inspection lab.
Polychromatic white light us focused onto the target surface by a multi-lens optical system. The lenses are arranged so that the white light is dispersed into monochromatic light by controlled chromatic aberration. A specific distance to the target is assigned to each wavelength by a factory calibration. Only the wavelength which is exactly focused on the target is used for measurement. This light reflected from the surface is passed through a confocal aperture onto a spectrometer which detects and processes the spectral changes.
The 4-axis motion control system is driven by high-accuracy micro-stepping motors giving positional feedback, providing high resolution and high speed with stability and reliability.
Torus’ A539 Mechanical Taper Gauge measures external and internal tapers and was developed and manufactured specifically to meet a demand in femoral head production.
The new floor standing taper gauge is the latest addition to Torus’ range of orthopaedic inspection systems. Designed specifically for orthopaedic hip manufacturers who need to control their femoral heads, this inspection gauge gives critical measurement information on the internal taper dimensions.
The gauge can accommodate the full range of femoral heads and measures a variety of different features.
To operate, simply scan the batch card with a barcode reader and the software will automatically select the relevant component type from the menu and the powerful Window software will prompt you to load the specific femoral head.
