Any manufacturing application that requires a threaded fastener to be tightened needs torque control. Selecting the proper manual torque screwdriver for the torque application may seem like a daunting and confusing process at times. With manual torque screwdrivers there are two general options. The type of fastening application tends to dictate which tool is best…
Stopping the occurrence of electrostatic discharge is very important in today’s world. Many electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Manufacturing engineers involved with microelectronic products are very aware of the importance of preventing ESD mishaps. Lapses in preventing the occurrence can affect manufacturing costs, product quality and profitability through catastrophic damage or, worse,…
Ensuring fasteners are sufficiently tightened but not overtightened is a key objective for an engineer. The TLS Prime is an economical preset torque screwdriver designed for industries with low volume fastening applications or have less stringent torque control requirements. The preset screwdriver provides the basic elements required for preventing over torque occurrences. Engineered with a…
ESD is a nagging invisible menace that plagues manufacturers producing microelectronics products. A lack of ESD management will deliver costly consequences that impact quality and the bottom line. Avoiding electrostatic discharge (ESD) on the manufacturing floor is an ongoing challenge for engineers. Developing procedures to control ESD and selecting ESD safe torque tools will prevent…
Reducing the severity and number of fastening errors and failures due to either tooling technology or an assembly process is a key objective for an engineer. It’s critical that engineers understand the need for quality torque control when fastening threaded bolts and screws. Selecting the wrong torque tool for an assembly application will result in…
An electric screwdriver is often used for light assembly applications for industries like aerospace, electronics and medical manufacturing. The assembly power tool and should be operated and maintained like a precision instrument. A torque controlled electric screwdriver is designed to automatically shut-off when the preset torque value is reached and provide accurate repeatability. Mountz electric…
Durable, economical and precision torque control are three key benefits for any manufacturer that uses electric screwdrivers in a high volume production facility. The repetitive process of fastening many, many screws hourly and daily demands a high performance assembly tool. For low torque assembly applications, accuracy is essential for preventing damaged products or reliability failures.…

Manufacturers that manually tighten fasteners and require one consistent torque value have two basic obstacles to overcome. First, implement a torque tool that securely prevents an operator from either incidentally or intentionally tamper with a tool’s torque setting. Secondly, train the operator to properly use the tool correctly to help ensure the desired torque output…
