A rotary torque sensor is an instrument for measuring dynamic torque with fastening applications. When paired with a torque analyzer, the rotary torque sensor is the ideal torque auditing tool for testing the torque applied to a fastener for assembly applications. It’s an instrument that quickly attaches to a power tool’s drive without interfering with…
Is lost productivity impacting your manufacturing output? Repetitive fastening tasks managed across multiple workstations, tools, and assembly operators is an opportunity to improve process efficiency. Implementing a fastening automation workflow allows engineers to bridge the productivity gap. Grouping similar processes and assigning standardized tightening tasks allows manufacturers to streamline the assembly productivity process and remove…
Solving fastening errors is about controlling variables or eliminating potential risks that create an unwanted fastening event. Mistake proofing is the quickest path to zero defects and is a critical enabler for efficient manufacturing. Error-proofing the complete tightening process improves manufacturers’ quality control process by reducing the number of defective products pulled from the assembly…
You don’t want to be surprised by a torque wrench or torque screwdriver deemed “out of calibration.” After all, torque tools are precision instruments used to tighten critical, often safety-sensitive fasteners. Torque screwdrivers and wrenches go out of calibration with use. These hand tools should be tested and calibrated frequently based on the tool usage…
Do you use fine-thread fasteners that are susceptible to cross-threading events? You can utilize the “free reverse” function with the Mountz smart electric screwdrivers systems. This feature starts a fastener in the reverse direction for a preset number of rotations and RPM setting to allow the fastener to be fine with the thread. Then smart…
Manufacturers must measure torque to ensure a product’s quality, safety, and reliability aren’t compromised. A torque sensor is a finely tuned instrument for testing and tool calibration. Torque sensors measure the torque output of both hand and power tools. Engineers and calibration technicians can use the devices for various torque testing and auditing methods. Measuring…
How do you prevent an over-torque event for a fastening application? The FGC torque wrench is engineered with a cam-over technology and prevents over-torque. The cam-over mechanism physically prevents the operator from over-torquing fasteners. Selecting a poka-yoke tool improves process control and reduces scrap rates. Fastening bolts with a click wrench expose manufacturers to a…
The EPC-10 wireless controller operates with the EPT-Series transducerized smart cordless screwdrivers. The controller can monitor and collect fastening and event data for up to 8 wireless EPT battery screwdrivers. As cordless tools are used independently, the fastening and event are sent to the EPC-10 controller in real-time once the operation is completed. The cordless screwdriver stores…
Faster than hand tools, electric torque screwdrivers are ideal for high-volume assembly operations where speed is of the essence. These tools can either be operated by assembly workers or robotic applications. The NF-Series brushless electric screwdrivers add precision and repeatability to the assembly process. Electric screwdrivers with brushless motors are engineered for higher efficiency and…
