ST-LAB7 Automatic Torque-Force-Pressure Tester
Sure Torque’s ST-LAB7 is multi-purpose full automatic force-torque-pressure tester with FDA CFR21 part 11 compliant user management and audit logging. The instrument is optimized for performing test on:
– Syringes and containers with Luer Lock – ISO 80369, ISO 11040 including pressure tests
– Injector pen devices (Needle-based injection systems for medical use – ISO 11608)
- All-in-one tester for many standardised test methods that would require several different appliances for testing:
• torque
• force
• pressure and vacuum
100% operator independent testing - All movements are fully automatic (not just the rotation, but also the container and closure gripping)
- Quick testing – test speed can be set on a wide range
- 20 different test receipts for the different products
- Many included test modes
- Multi-level access – operator cannot change the setup parameters or the calibration
- Direct statistical analysis and report creating
- Possibility of adding custom test modes anytime (upgrade-file can be sent in email)
- Automatic batch statistic and report generating
- User management with configurable access permission
- FDA CFR 21 Part 11 compliant audit log and user account management
- Batch based testing with unlimited memory capacity (memory for the machine’s entire life-cycle). Results storing structure: Year/Month/Day/Batch.
- Results can be exported in standard Sure Torque or customer specific format for data collection.
- All-in-one data manager software for all data management options (data manager, data logger,
audit log logger)

Measuring With the ST-Lab
The ST-LAB is a user-friendly one-button operation unit, controlled by a PLC.
• Choose a sample type on the touch screen.
• Choose the desired test method on the PLC by using the PLC’s navigation buttons.
• Place the sample (and close the safety door if there is)
• Hit the activation buttons to start a test cycle.
o The container clamp closes and holds the container tight during the test cycle
o The testing head sinks to the cap level and grabs the cap
o The desired test method will be completed
o The sample will be released
All manipulation forces can be set on a wide range so that you can choose the forces matching the best to your samples and test requirements.
• You can start a new test by hitting the activation buttons
The speed of the test cycle can be set on a wide range, however the slower a test cycle is, the more accurate it is. The internal memory of the plc stores all results of the machine life time with graph and all details which can be imported into a pc. Results can be monitored by on line data collector too.
Basic test options:
1. Annex F (normative) Resistance to separation from axial load test method
2. Annex G (normative) Resistance to separation from unscrewing test method
3. Annex H (normative) Resistance to overriding test method
4. Annex I (normative) Disconnection by unscrewing test method
5. Cap release torque test
6. Tensile test
Optional modes (pressure test option):
7. Annex B (normative) *Leakage by pressure decay test method
8. Annex C (normative) Falling drop positive-pressure liquid leakage test method
9. Annex D (normative) Subatmospheric-pressure air leakage test method
