The risk reliability increases when an electric screwdriver drifts out of calibration over time or usage. Accuracy, repeatability, and safety are the significant benefits of checking your electric or air screwdriver’s calibration (also known as torque verification). The advantage of a torque analyzer is that a quality engineer can easily and quickly verify the torque output of the power tool whenever needed. Daily or weekly, instantly verify the tool is still in or out of calibration.
Relying only on time-based calibration intervals for electric screwdrivers exposes manufacturers to risks. Discovering the device is found out of calibration generates uncertainty. How long has the tool been used to tighten fasteners while out of calibration?
Torque Verification Program for Electric Screwdrivers
The best process for engineers to ensure electric screwdrivers stay within tolerance is to test and verify the tools regularly. Keeping tools in calibration requires frequent torque verification. It is not because tools frequently go out of calibration. Instead, when tools go out of calibration, it’s challenging to identify when it occurred and how long they were in use while “out of calibration.”
A quality power tool verification and calibration program ensures process control and mitigates risks. Learn how to conduct a systematic torque verification process and identify torque tools that drift out of calibration.
A torque analyzer is a vital instrument for a quality control program. Investing in a torque testing solution eliminates downtime and expenses for shipping tools back and forth to an outside service center. It allows you to calibrate instruments more often and reduce calibration turnaround times and costs.
