[0032] The torsion chuck 20 is designed to be rotatably mounted, and can be driven to rotate by the driving member 70, thereby driving the pipe 60 to twist. The surfaces of the fixed chuck 10 and the torsion chuck 20 can have grooves or protrusions matching the pipe 60 to better fix the pipe 60.

The angle gauge is usually a high-precision sensor, which can be integrated on the driving member 70 of the torsion chuck 20, or directly installed on the rack 50, to indirectly measure the twisting angle of the pipe 60 by measuring the rotation angle of the torsion chuck 20.

[0035] In order to control the rotation position of the driving member 70, a first limiting mechanism 72 and a second limiting mechanism 73 can be provided, respectively used to limit the initial rotation position and the final rotation position of the torsion chuck 20. The first limiting mechanism 72 / second limiting mechanism 73 can be a mechanical limit switch, a hydraulic or pneumatic limit valve, or an electronic limit sensor.
