SUMMARY
The discussion centers on measuring the torque required to rotate spindles in a textile beaming process as part of a Six Sigma project aimed at reducing endbreaks. The user seeks a device that can apply a constant rotational force while measuring the number of revolutions over a specified time period. The goal is to standardize the force applied by wooden brakes across 1000 spindles to ensure uniformity in operation. Recommendations for torque measurement devices and methodologies are sought from the community.
