How Does the LABA7 TMD Work?
A dynamic torque tester accurately evaluates the output of impact wrenches and wheel guns by capturing the rapid, violent pulses that static testers miss.
Unlike hydraulic devices that dampen energy or static sensors that only show a single “peak” number, the LABA7 TMD uses a custom-engineered torque cell to sample data at 100,000 Hz. This allows the device to capture the entire waveform of every impact.
During testing, the tool connects directly to the TMD. The device simultaneously measures torque, rotational speed, and power input (compressed air or battery voltage). This data is displayed in clear, real-time graphs, allowing you to see exactly how the tool performs under load. With this insight, you can diagnose “weak” tools, verify repairs, and ensure every wheel gun in the pit lane is race-ready.
Key Features of LABA7 Dynamic Torque Tester
100kHz True-Peak Technology
Most torque testers are blind to the reality of an impact gun. They sample too slowly, averaging out the violent energy spikes.
The LABA7 TMD utilizes novel high-frequency measurements at 100,000 Hz. This allows us to capture the “True Peak” of every single hammer blow, ensuring that the torque value displayed is the actual energy being delivered to the fastener, not a calculated estimate or peak number.
Power Supply Correlation
A drop in torque isn’t always a broken tool – sometimes it’s the power source. The Torque Measuring Device is the only one in its class that integrates input monitoring directly into the test results.
By graphing Compressed Air Pressure or Battery Voltage directly over the torque curve, you can instantly see if a tool’s underperformance is caused by voltage sag (in cordless tools) or air line starvation (in pneumatic tools).
Impact Waveform Analysis
Static numbers hide mechanical secrets. Our software visualizes the shape of the impact.
By analyzing the waveform, you can “see” inside the tool mechanism without opening it. A consistent wave indicates a healthy anvil and hammer; an erratic wave suggests worn grease, broken springs, or internal friction.
This turns the TMD from a simple measuring tool into a powerful diagnostic X-ray for your equipment.
Direct-Drive Architecture
Unlike hydraulic-based testers that rely on fluid compression (which introduces lag and damping), the LABA7 TMD connects directly to the tool via a custom strain-gauge load cell.
This Direct-Drive design ensures zero latency. What happens at the tool tip is exactly what is recorded by the software, instantly and without the “cushioning” effect that falsifies results on competitors’ hydraulic tables.
Extreme Performance Range
Designed for versatility across industries. Whether you are calibrating delicate assembly tools or heavy-duty motorsport wheel guns, the TMD is ready.
- Speed: Capable of tracking rotational velocity up to 30,000 RPM.
- Force: Robust enough to withstand and measure torque loads up to 5,000 Nm.
- One device covers your entire inventory, from the R&D lab to the pit lane.
Benefits of Owning a LABA7 Torque Measuring Device
Stop Guessing, Start Diagnosing
Standard testers and hydraulic gauges only answer “IF” a tool is failing. The LABA7 TMD answers “WHY.”
Because we monitor torque, speed, and power supply simultaneously, you don’t just get a pass/fail result. You can instantly distinguish between a mechanical failure inside the impact mechanism and a simple voltage sag or air line restriction.
Unfiltered Performance
The TMD captures the raw, unfiltered performance. This allows you to audit your equipment inventory with brutal honesty.
Compare tool brands, verify manufacturer claims (which are often exaggerated on the box), and retire tools that are no longer safe for critical applications. If a tool is inconsistent, the TMD’s waveform will reveal it immediately, where other devices would hide it.
Digital Calibration & Traceability
In high-stakes environments like motorsport and aerospace, “it feels tight” is not a calibration standard. Old-school analog dials leave no paper trail.
The LABA7 TMD professionalizes your workshop. By generating digital reports and overlaying test data, you provide your team or your customers with undeniable proof of performance. You aren’t just handing back a tool; you are handing back a calibrated instrument with a certificate of health.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between static and dynamic torque testing?
Static testing measures slow, steady force (like a hand torque wrench). Dynamic testing measures the rapid, high-energy impact of tools. You cannot accurately test an impact gun on a static tester.
What is LABA7 TRD used for?
LABA7 TMD can be used for both impact tool testing and torque wrench calibration.
Does the software work on Mac?
The LABA7 TMD analysis software is optimized for Windows OS to ensure full compatibility and stable driver performance in workshop environments.
While macOS users may run it through emulation, any issues that arise from this setup are solely the user’s responsibility, as emulated environments are not officially supported.
Can it test battery-powered tools?
Yes. The TMD includes a port to measure DC voltage, allowing you to monitor the health of the battery while the tool is under load. It also measures air pressure for pneumatic tools.
What is the maximum torque capacity?
The device is rated for up to 5,000 Nm of torque, making it suitable for everything from standard workshop impact drivers to heavy-duty industrial wheel guns.
