Snap-on TESI60 Dial Wrench, Newton Meter Basic Torqometer, 3/8″ Drive, 60 N·m

Description

Welding, painting and handling robots now work in car, motorbike and electronics plants from Hai Phong to Long An. Each robot carries tooling on its wrist flange, and each tool change ends with a ring of screws. The Snap-on TESI60 dial wrench lets the robot technician tighten those screws and watch the value at the same time. It reads in newton meters to 60 N·m and fits a 3/8-inch drive.

What a robot technician checks with the TESI60

A loose tool flange lets the tool center point drift, so welds land off the seam. On the other hand, an overloaded screw can strip a thread in an aluminum adapter plate. So most robot makers print a torque for each joint on the arm. With the TESI60, the technician pulls slowly, watches one needle climb, and stops at the mark.

• Tool flange and quick-changer screws on the wrist.
• Gripper body, finger and sensor bracket screws.
• Weld gun, cable dress and hose clamp brackets.
• Cover and cable guide screws after a cable change.

Snap-on TESI60 dial wrench numbers

This row belongs to Snap-on’s Newton Meter Reading/Standard 2% Accuracy table. Next to the Basic TESI60, the row lists the TESI60FU follow-up and the TESI60L signal model.

Picking between the TESI30, TESI60 and TESI70

Three nearby sizes share the 3/8-inch drive. The TESI30 tops out at 30 N·m in 1 N·m steps on a shorter body. Then the TESI60 doubles the scale and keeps 2 N·m steps. Meanwhile, the TESI70 stretches to 70 N·m on the same 12-1/2-inch length. Because accuracy counts from 20% of full scale, pick the dial where most of your values land in the upper part. For many robot wrist joints, that points to the Snap-on TESI60 dial wrench.

Cell habits that protect the reading

Lock out the robot before any hand enters the cell, and then work from the robot maker’s torque table. Also, check that the needle sits at zero before the first screw. Snap-on says never to use the wrench to break fasteners loose, so crack old screws with a hex key first. Keep it in the PB9 case on the maintenance cart, away from weld spatter. Finally, plan outside recalibration on a fixed cycle.

Robot maintenance FAQ for the Snap-on TESI60 dial wrench

What is the lowest value worth reading on the TESI60?

Snap-on states accuracy from 20% of full scale. On a 60 N·m dial, that puts the floor at 12 N·m.

Does a robot cell need the follow-up model instead?

Only if someone must read the value after the pull. Snap-on gives the TESI60FU two needles, one for the target and one for the torque achieved. The Basic TESI60 has a single needle.

Will a 3/8-inch drive fit our robot tool kit?

Most small socket and bit sets use 3/8 inch, so the TESI60 often fits as is. Check your gripper and flange screws for hex or Torx bits.
