TORQUEMASTER MAKE/BREAK UNITS

TorqueMaster Make/Break Units

Introduction Features and Benefits

The TorqueMaster Make/Break Unit is a ratchet-style
horizontal torque unit designed to safely and efficiently
make up and break out threaded tubular tool joint
connections of downhole tools and equipment. These
units are fully hydraulic and come standard with a fixed
headstock bed assembly, a traversing tailstock, a hydraulic
control console and offer a wide selection of options and
accessories allowing for made-to-order configurations.
The 1689 and 8025 models incorporate fully closed Safe and Easy to Use
headstocks while the model 8026 has a hinged Can be operated by one person
headstock that opens and allows for the top-loading

unit and helps increase productivity. The 8045 offers Hinged Headstock
a fully opened headstock and tailstock, allowing for Increased Efficiency
top-loading of work pieces on both sides. Provides fast and accurate make/break capabilities that will increase production

A single set of tong dies is used over the full OD range of
the unit, eliminating the need to constantly change dies
as the work piece OD changes. The TorqueMaster Unit is
safely and efficiently operated by one person from a low
pressure, electric powered, standalone hydraulic control
console that can be wired to suit any power supply.
The console comes complete with auxiliary valves,
control handles and outlets to accommodate additional
accessories.
Power Traverse Tailstock w/ HD Suspension
Controlled from the console, the tailstock is designed to carry a balanced load of
5,000 lb and makes handling the work piece easier
Clamp Force Proportional to Torque
Clamp force increase with torque to reduce the risk of slippage during make/break
operations
Self-Centering Synchronized Clamp Cylinders
Torque is applied about the axial center line of the tool, ensuring accurate torque
measurements and preventing thread damage

Options and Accessories
Bed Length
The most common bed length is 16, but other lengths are available
upon request to suit space and tool handling requirements.
Headstock and Tailstock Extension Beams
Extension beams can be bolted on either side of the bed and used
to accommodate hydraulic support jacks and a push/pull assembly.
Use of these beams and accessories reduces the need for additional
handling equipment once the tool is in the machine. The beams are of
heavy duty construction to resist wear and withstand all forces endured.
These beams are available in 6, 10, 12 and 19 lengths and can be The LogMaster I and LogMaster II are touch-screen torque
combined to achieve any length required.
Hydraulic Support Jacks
Operated from the console, these jacks can be raised and lowered to
assist with handling the work piece. The jacks are on rollers that enable
them to move back and forth along the extension beam and have a
placement pin that holds the jack in place once its desired location is
found. Maximum four (4) support jacks per TorqueMaster Unit.
Hydraulic Push/Pull Assembly
Operated from the console, this assembly is used to insert or remove
rotors from stators or for any other application where push/pull force is
required. This push/pull cylinder is capable of up to 60,000 lbf pushing
and 40,000 lbf pulling and can be tilted out of the way when not in use.
The force applied is measured on a hydraulic gauge on the console.
Maximum one (1) push/pull per TorqueMaster Unit.
Push/Pull Tilt Cylinder
Operated from the console, this cylinder allows the operator to raise the
push/pull assembly into a working position when required and lower
it out of the way when it is not required, without leaving the control
console or from assistance of an overhead crane.
Heavy Duty Spinner
Operated from the console, this hydraulic spinning tool can handle
tools from 32 OD up to 14 OD and allows the operator to quickly spin
up or spin out of low torque shouldered connections. The spinner can
be mounted on either the headstock or tailstock of the 1689, and 8025
models and the tailstock only on the 8026 and 8045 models. Maximum
one (1) spinner per TorqueMaster Unit.
M
Hose Chain
Available in either metal or plastic, the hose chain is used to enclose
and protect the hydraulic hoses that run along the bed and extension
beams. Adding an aesthetic appeal, the hose chain eliminates the
problem of premature wear on hydraulic hoses and increases machine
safety by reducing the tripping hazard otherwise caused by loose
hoses that surround the machine. Hose chain on the bed is standard
on any bed longer than 16.
Digital Torque Logging
TorqueMaster Unit, an additional actuator pin sensor informs the operator
logging systems that can be added to the control console to provide
digital torque logging capability. Both systems have been designed
to withstand the harsh working environment of a tool service facility.
Details on the features and functionality of each unit are available upon
request.
TrueTorque Digital Gauge
This digital gauge replaces the low and high torque hydraulic gauges
on the control console. Accurate to within +/- 0.5%, the digital gauge
provides a more precise torque measurement than the standard
hydraulic gauges. It has a built-in high resolution LCD screen that
displays torque and includes a menu system displaying other features
such as calibration history, machine torque history, date/time, machine
usage, console temperature and various language options.
Independent Clamp Control
Available as an additional control on the console for the 1689, 8025, 8026
and 8045 models, this option allows the operator to increase/decrease
the clamp force independently and accommodate for thin-walled tools
to prevent tool damage or for hardened material to reduce
tong die slippage during torque application.
TrueTorque Digital Gauge
Safety Shield
Push/Pull Assembly
This polycarbonate safety shield mounts to the control console and
provides a transparent safety barrier between the TorqueMaster and
the operator, protecting them from any errant debris that may be thrown
in the direction of the operator. The shield offers high optical visibility

Hose Bridge
The Hose Bridge is designed to bridge over and eliminate the tripping
hazard created by the hoses that connect the console to the main unit.
