Production planning for torque application with micro-sized fasteners requires an engineer to find a solution to mitigate product scrap risks. It doesn’t require much force to over-torque miniature fasteners. Critical fastening assemblies, such as navigation systems for high-performance aircraft, automobiles, and machine tools, a product failure can cause severe quality issues. The rework time and costs accumulate quickly for production and quality engineers.
The mini FG preset screwdriver allows an engineer to ensure that the correct torque value is consistently applied to each miniature fastener and prevents costly over-torque events. Mountz FG screwdrivers save manufacturers’ rework costs and improve process control.
• Improve production quality by preventing over-torque events
• Screwdriver reduces scrap rate costs
• Cam-over technology ensures correct torque is applied and eliminates fastener breakage issues
Preset Mini Torque Screwdriver Improves Productivity
Modern, effective preset torque screwdrivers improve productivity by guaranteeing that the correct torque value is consistently applied to each fastener. Preset torque screwdrivers are ideal for fastening applications where operators repeatedly assemble parts at the same torque setting. A preset screwdriver is similar to setting an alarm clock to signal the achievement of a selected time. The screwdriver is preset to the application’s required torque value. The tool provides once torque is achieved.
A preset screwdriver doesn’t have an external torque adjustment scale. These tools have an internal torque adjustment mechanism for setting the torque value and preset using a hex key and a torque analyzer. The locking mechanism prevents accidental torque setting changes. Once the tool is set, the screwdriver’s end cap is sealed with a calibration sticker and ready to be used. However, if the preset torque value needs to be changed for a new fastening application, the flexible tool can easily be adjusted to a new preset torque value.
