Snap-on TER352FUAC Torque Wrench, US/Newton Meter Follow-up Torqometer, 3/4″ Drive, 480 N·m / 350 ft-lb, with Calibration Certificate

Description

Plastic injection molding and die-casting plants change molds often, and each change ends with clamp and platen bolts. If those bolts sit unevenly, a mold can shift or flash under clamp force. The Snap-on TER352FUAC torque wrench lets the setup crew check them with a follow-up needle. It reads newton meters and foot-pounds, and it comes with a calibration certificate.

Mold change checks with two needles

Setup technicians work fast, because every minute of changeover costs output. On the TER352FUAC, one needle marks the target and the other records the torque achieved. As a result, the technician can finish the pull and then read the value with care. After that, the reading goes on the mold change sheet.

TER352FUA catalog data

These values appear in Snap-on’s combination US/newton meter table as well. Per the catalog, a C suffix orders the certificate of calibration version, which matches the TER352FUAC code.

Molding and casting joints for the Snap-on TER352FUAC torque wrench

• Mold clamp bolts on the fixed and moving platens.
• Ejector plate and hydraulic cylinder bracket bolts.
• Shot end and sleeve flange bolts on die-casting cells.
• Hot runner manifold and robot gripper mounting bolts.

However, quick mold change systems may use magnetic or hydraulic clamps instead. So use the wrench where the machine manual lists a torque.

Precise grade on this dial

Lost in HCM files the TER352FUAC under Combination US/Newton Meter Reading/Precise 1% Accuracy. Snap-on describes Precise models as within 1% of reading, from 20% of full scale to full scale. On this dial, the band starts at 96 N·m or 70 ft-lb. Thus the tighter grade suits plants that report torque data to automotive or electronics customers.

Heat, oil and storage

Molding halls run warm, and hydraulic oil gets on everything. So wipe the TER352FUAC after each mold change, and keep it in a case away from hot platens. Snap-on rates its dial wrenches for 0 to 100 °F, so never rest it on a heated mold plate. Then keep the certificate with your tool records, and recalibrate on your plan’s interval.

Molding plant questions

Why two scales?

Asian and European machines often print N·m, while some American molds list ft-lb. This dial reads both, so nobody converts at the press.

Is a calibration certificate part of the order?

Yes. The TER352FUAC listing names a calibration certificate. Ask Lost in HCM what it covers.

Can it check tie bar nuts?

Only where the maker gives a torque value within 480 N·m. Larger tie bar nuts often need other methods.
