Torque vs Angle Recording tool

[00 Scrub]

I was wondering if anyone knew of some off the shelf tools that could record torque vs angle and output the curve to a csv or some other file for analysis. Most torque wrenches I know of only display live readings or peak readings.

Eclatorq makes these

Thanks!
Looking at their website it seems like the DT series does recording, but it doesn't mention angle. Do they have a USA distributor? Their website is difficult to navigate and find more details.

I use to be their distributor but got out of that business. You can get them private labeled from any of the SBD brands such as MAC, Proto, USAG, Facom or whatever other brands Stanley-Black and Decker sell. All of SBD's digital torque wrenches come from Eclatorq.

This one claims to record torque and angle, I know nothing other than what Google told me.

Do you need to graph torque over the entire range or just see what it is after the angle? My angle torque wrenches from Quinn and Icon show the torque as well as the angle. Maybe all wrenches do?

Are you trying to graph it? or just looking for a torque wrench that does torque in in/ft lbs. plus an angle? The Angle is essentially the yield of the bolt, It is designed to give the fastener a certain amount of "stretch" that is required.

Most Tool Truck Brand wrenches offer this, Snap-on, Mac, Matco. to name a few, but if your looking more Budget Friendly, Quinn or Icon from Harbor freight also offer torque + angle. then you have middle of the Road, such as Gearwrench I've used all the ones I have mentioned with fairly decent accuracy.

If your looking to see what the final torque is the additional degrees turn, there is a formula for it.. explained here

Thanks I’ll check the crane out.
I need to record the torque vs angle to see if I get a change in slope that could indicate yielding. Recording it at the end won’t be enough in this case.
