Each year, at Thanksgiving, I’m asked to write something for our blog or newsletter that speaks to our company culture and values. It’s no secret that I love the family aspect of Thanksgiving. In fact, it has become a custom at Mountz to share a pre-Thanksgiving lunch together, where we all cook and eat together.…
Measuring torque doesn’t stop once the assembly process is complete. Often a torque verification process is needed. Torque auditing validates the fastening process, the torque tool, the product design and the materials used for the application. The Mountz SDX torque sensor is an instrument designed for torque auditing, verification or tightening fasteners. The SDX sensor…
Torque is a force people rarely recognize as they go about their day. There is torque that is applied and torque that is measured. With the Mountz dial torque screwdrivers, measuring torque is simple and ensures a proper production and quality assurance system. A dial indicating torque screwdriver is designed for torque evaluation and torque…
Innovation is the catalyst for change. Although technologies continue to evolve with electronics and assembly power tools, hand tools continue to see new innovation every year. Mountz Inc., a specialist in providing torque and fastening solutions, is pleased to announce that its new EPT adjustable click wrench won the Pro Tool Innovation Award. The annual awards…
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…
