Snap-on TER12LAC Torqometer, US/N·m Light Signal Dial Wrench, 3/8″ Drive, 17 N·m / 150 in-lb, with Calibration Certificate

Description

Packaging printers in Binh Duong, Long An and Bac Ninh run offset and flexo presses long into the night. Every job change means plates, blankets, sleeves and doctor blades come off and go back on. The Snap-on TER12LAC Torqometer helps press crews refit those parts with measured clamp force. A lamp flashes at the target, and the dial reads both newton meters and inch-pounds.

Why press rooms need a light cue

Pressrooms roar, and the operator often works bent over a unit with poor sight lines. As a result, a click is easy to miss and a needle is hard to read. Snap-on fits its Signal models with a built-in light that flashes when the targeted torque is achieved. So a crew member with the TER12LAC stops on the flash and moves to the next screw.

Make-ready jobs for the Snap-on TER12LAC Torqometer

• Plate clamp and lockup screws on offset units.
• Blanket bar and reel rod screws after a blanket change.
• Doctor blade holder and chamber screws on flexo decks.
• Gripper bar and side guide fixings during service.

Even clamp force keeps a plate square, so register holds through the run. Still, follow the press maker’s values, since each model differs.

Data from the TER12LA row

Snap-on’s catalog explains that a trailing C orders the certificate of calibration version. Hence the code TER12LAC, which Lost in HCM lists with a calibration certificate.

Precise grade, in plain terms

Lost in HCM files the TER12LAC under Combination US/Newton Meter Reading/Precise 1% Accuracy. In short, Snap-on holds Precise wrenches within 1% of reading from 20% of full scale to full scale. That band therefore runs from about 3.4 N·m, or 30 in-lb, up to the top of the dial.

Keeping the Snap-on TER12LAC Torqometer in shape

Ink, solvent and paper dust settle on everything near a press. So wipe the dial and body with a dry cloth, and keep solvents off the glass. Also return the wrench to its case at the end of each shift, rather than on a feed board. Never use it to crack a stuck screw. Then plan outside recalibration before the certificate date runs out.

Pressroom FAQ

Will the TER12LAC fit between press units?

Snap-on lists the TER12LA at 9-29/32 in long, so it suits most tight spots. Check your press first.

Can I read the value after the lamp flashes?

Yes. The dial still shows the torque in N·m and in-lb, so you can note it.

What does the certificate show?

The source only says the wrench comes with one. Lost in HCM can share a sample on request.
