Description
Mobile Sales & Service for Torque Wrench / Screwdriver checking, calibration & repair service
CALIBRATION SERVICES
Being a mobile service, this saves you valuable downtime in having to send wrenches off site to be checked.
Checking and most calibrations can be carried out on site, but if a repair is required, pending parts availability, it will be taken back to the workshop and you will generally have your wrench back the next day.
Loan wrenches are available if you wrench does need to go off site for repair, and you can't be without it.
TWCS operates 7 days a week, so being able to offer a weekend service, is of even greater benefit in having no downtime at all for your business.
TWCS mobile vehicle is fitted with Protest Equipment for checking & re-calibration of all makes and models of Torque wrenches up to the range of 1500Nm, as well as Torque Screwdrivers.
Test equipment is certified annually to NATA standards to ensure accuracy is maintained at all times
Individual test certificates are issued for each wrench at no additional cost.
During each check, function tests are carried out to ensure that the integrity of your wrench is maintained and the tool is fit for service. It is highly recommended that manufacturers parts are used to maintain your tool in top working order.
Calibration stickers are also provided for any compliance policies you may have in place. These identify when checks have been carried out and when they are next due.
Every calibration comes complete with a calibration certificate at no additional cost.
Keeping records for compliance is important, and as part of the service, we keep a database list of your wrenches with a history of the checking and calibration that has been carried out. Copies of certificates and due dates can be requested at any time if required.

Torque Tip - Digital Torque Wrenches A lot of people who purchase a digital torque wrench believe that they are self-calibrating and that the calibration of the wrench doesn’t need to be checked. Nothing could be further from the truth. When you turn on your digital torque wrench, it does a “self-check” (much like a late model motor vehicle when you start it up) to make sure the transducer and internal circuitry are ok, but it doesn’t calibrate itself. So digital torque wrenches need to have their calibration checked just like you would do with any other style of torque wrench (i.e. click type torque wrenches). This is the only way to tell if your digital torque wrench is compliant and to ensure that the torque value shown on the LCD display of the torque wrench is what the torque wrench is actually “pulling”. Digital torque wrenches do go out of calibration and are extremely sensitive to knocks and drops. Don’t be fooled by salesperson tech talk mumbo jumbo and remember that it doesn’t matter if it is digital, the wrench still needs to be checked.

Torque Tip: Some of the most frequently asked questions that I get are: What is a good Torque wrench? Is this Torque wrench any good? What Torque Wrench do you recommend? How much does a decent Torque Wrench cost? A torque wrench is no different to any other product. There are always cheap brands available and then there are the ones that cost a lot more. Cheap torque wrenches generally have no spare parts available. If something goes wrong, the wrench becomes a throw away item, whereas manufacturers of more expensive torque wrenches generally have a vast amount of spare parts available to help keep your torque wrench operating like new, without the need for replacement. I am a firm believer that "you get what you pay for". Expensive torque wrenches have far more superior operating mechanisms, ratchet assemblies and are made from top quality materials. As well as this, extensive research and development and testing will ensure a product that will meet all expectations. A torque wrench is used for critical torque applications - "rough enough is good enough" just doesn't cut it. If you are looking for a good quality torque wrench that will give you years of trouble free use, as well as the confidence in knowing that the correct torque of fasteners is being achieved time after time, look no further than the Norbar product range. Norbar have torque wrenches that will cover every application you require. My advice simply is to take the guess work out of it and invest in confidence. Upgrade before it is too late. Torque to Tom on 0417 826 344 for a great price on any of the Norbar products.

Checking Preload Need to check the starting preload of a gearbox or differential? TWCS recommends that this critical application is best performed with a digital, dial or beam style wrench that is within calibration standards. Out of calibration torque wrenches can cause numerous problems, including premature bearing failure. Although these wrenches are generally more expensive, they provide a definitive reading, taking the guess work out of the job and ensuring a high level of repair. Visit www.torque.com.au

Torque Tip - Dealing with High Voltage In today's society, Occupational Health and Safety is paramount with businesses constantly looking for safer work practices. If your business deals with voltage, TWCS recommends the use of an insulated torque wrench. Don't put yourself at risk in any voltage applications, whether it be a 12v battery, the ever-expanding high voltage hybrid vehicle market, electrical switchboard or power generation applications, using a non-insulated wrench can lead to a short circuit resulting in serious injury or even death. Insulated torque wrenches provide protection and peace of mind when working with up to 1000 Volts. The photo shows an example of a "near miss". This wrench was shorted on a battery pack. It has since been replaced with an insulated type torque wrench, providing staff with a safer work practice.
