OVERVIEW - IQVU
IQvu is the most revolutionary torque data collector in the world. It combines all of the features of the established
TorqueStar with a market leading, robust Tablet to give a modern and familiar product. It provides the ideal
Solution for the measurement and collection of torque, angle, and pulse data in the manufacturing and quality
environment.
The Tablet is sleek, thin, but tough, certified to a MIL-STD810G six foot drop rating along with IP65 dust and
water protection.
It has been carefully engineered, down to the chassis, to be protected against drops, shocks, spills, vibration and
more.
The screen of the IQVu uses Tempered Glass and features LumiBond™ optical bonding. This results in a display
that is not only extremely robust and scratch resistant, but also very durable and easy to read in most lighting
conditions.
By using ultra-sensitive multi-touch technology the screen has been developed to respond effortlessly to touch,
press, drag - even from an input from a gloved hand.
The comprehensive audit tool performs bi-directional measurement in track, peak, click, pulse, move on and yield
measurement modes.
The quick “Check” function allows the operator to take measurements as required.
Work can be scheduled using Rounds and Jobs to allow a planned approach to collecting any data.
Input of any information is either via the soft keypad on the screen or downloaded from OMS or Opta Comms.
The IQVu works with existing Crane products and all new Crane products, including the increasing range of
Crane wireless devices, allowing further flexibility when collecting data.
The high resolution 7” screen clearly displays all relevant information, using colour to enable the operator to
easily view and interpret the information.
Throughout the measurement process relevant measurement values are displayed along with a realtime graph of
the tightening trace if required.
Measurement readings and associated information are stored on the IQVu. In addition detailed individual
readings of traces are stored. All of this information can then be saved to a USB stick or emailed directly from the
device.
PDFs of documents, work instructions, photographs, and comments can be loaded onto the IQVu and stored
against Jobs. As well as being loaded from a USB stick, photographs can also be taken using the 5 mega pixel
auto focus camera built into the IQVu.
This enables the operator to take photographs of applications to store against relevant readings, if required for
later analysis.
