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…
Selecting a durable and reliable click wrench for a fastening application is an important decision. For field service and maintenance applications, the ability to quickly and accurately adjust the torque setting on the wrench is a critical element for any technician. The EPT is an adjustable click wrench that provides different setting options for applications…
Break-over wrenches improve control of the bolting process by reducing the risk of both over and under tightening. Upon reaching the preset torque value, the tool “breaks” at a specific point along the tool’s shaft – usually at a pivot point near the tool’s head. The unique break-over mechanism, provides an operator ample time to…
With fastening applications, controlling the torque by which a screw or bolt is tightened to is essential for controlling the preload. Torque control tightening is one method used by many manufacturers to control the preload of a threaded fastener. An inaccurate tightening method or an improper torque tool being used for an application are key factors…

With most standard run down adapters, after each run down the RDA needs to be backed off slightly before another run down can be performed. The AURA by Mountz is a unique run down adapter as it is designed to be an auto reversing run down adapter. The device is designed to only operate in…
Daily, assembly operators using power tools fumble around picking up screws from bins and slowly align the fasteners onto a bit. In an attempt to grab one fastener at time, several screws often stick to the operator’s fingers. Screws can easily be dropped across a workstation or fumbled to the ground. Smaller the fastener is,…
The MSP screw presenter is a simple machine to operate. The fasteners are poured into the hopper of the screw presenter and automatically line up for dispensing. This simple mechanism allows trouble-free operation, eliminating jammed or stuck screws. The screws are aligned along the screw-feeding rail with one fastener exposed and sitting in the bit guide.…
The MSP screw presenters make assemblers and the assembly process more efficient by mechanically presenting a screw to a fixed pick up point. The screws are aligned along the screw-feeding rail with one fastener exposed and sitting in the bit guide. Once the bit of the power tool engages with the screw head and the…
The MSP is a small, tabletop screw presenters used to organize and automate work areas and production cells. Screw presenters make assemblers and the assembly process more efficient by mechanically presenting a screw to a fixed pick up point. Conventional assembly methods cause assemblers to inefficiently fumble with screws that are stored in bins or…
