Description
Packaging lines change format several times a week, and each change means swapping parts on the machine. Sealing jaws, guide rails and change parts must go back at the right torque, otherwise the line jams. The Snap-on TER25LAC Torqometer helps with a lamp that flashes at the target and a precise dial. Its listing says it ships with a chart.
Fast changeovers with the Snap-on TER25LAC Torqometer
During a changeover, the line stands idle and every minute counts. So a fitter wants a clear stop cue rather than a needle to study. The lamp gives that cue, while the dial still shows the value for the setup sheet. As a result, the crew can work quickly without guessing.
Size from the TER25LA row
| Item | TER25LA (Snap-on CAT1500i) |
|---|---|
| Square drive | 3/8 in |
| Metric range | 0-3,200 N·cm |
| US range | 0-300 in-lb |
| Increments | 50 N·cm / 5 in-lb |
| Length | 9-29/32 in |
| Storage case | PB9 |
These values sit in Snap-on’s combination US/newton meter table. That table also says the C suffix orders the certificate version. Lost in HCM lists the TER25LAC with a chart, so ask what it includes.
Packaging tasks for the TER25LAC
- Sealing jaw and knife holder screws on form-fill-seal machines.
- Change part and star wheel screws on fillers and labelers.
- Servo coupling clamp screws after a motor swap.
- Guide rail bracket screws on cartoners and case packers.
However, keep the maker’s torque table close, because values differ by machine.
Precise grade and where it holds
Lost in HCM lists this model under Combination US/Newton Meter Reading/Precise 1% Accuracy. Snap-on defines that grade from 20% of full scale to full scale, in both directions. For the TER25LAC, the band begins at 640 N·cm or 60 in-lb. Therefore, tiny sensor screws below that level need a torque screwdriver.
Shop habits that protect the dial
Changeover carts fill up with parts and tools, and a dial wrench can get crushed. Give the TER25LAC its own slot on the cart, ideally in its case. Also check the lamp and the zero before each format change. Then recalibrate on the cycle your line plan sets.

Packaging line FAQ for the TER25LAC
Why does the scale read N·cm?
Snap-on lists the base TER25LA as 0-3,200 N·cm, which equals 32 N·m. Divide N·cm by 100 to get N·m.
Is it fast enough for changeovers?
The lamp lets the fitter stop without reading the dial on every bolt. So it suits quick part swaps.
What comes with the chart?
The source names a chart but does not describe it. Lost in HCM can explain what it shows.
