Error-proofing the complete tightening process improves manufacturers’ quality control process by reducing the number of defective products pulled from the assembly line and hedging the risk of liability from product failures in the field. A screw rattling loose in the avionics of a high-performance jet or from an implanted medical device can cause significant liability…
Safeguarding against sequence and tightening failures requires you to deploy tools equipped with error-proofing capabilities that track each screw the tools fasten. Eliminate product rework and warranties by adding another layer of error-proofing to the manufacturing line. Common Sequence & Tightening Failures Under-tightening: Loose fasteners cause slippage between parts, placing unwanted shear stress Gasket creep…
Minor fastening errors can quickly blossom into big problems. Over- or under-tightening can cause the fastener or assembly to fail under stress, either immediately or later. When a fastener fails, it can have serious repercussions, including overloading other parts and creating a cascading failure or rattling free in a moving assembly like an engine. As…

Mountz, The Torque Tool Specialists®, hosted a torque webinar regarding nagging quality issues that manufacturers look to resolve daily or weekly. How to detect when a tool starts to drift out of calibration? Every industry which relies on torque tools do so for the same reason: accuracy and repeatability matters. Whether it’s in a ventilator,…
An innovative world leader in medical devices manufacturing was ramping up production on a new ultrasound instrument but was struggling to optimize their new manufacturing process. Building this new piece of equipment involved a variety of different torque requirements. In the initial assembly, workers were using seven different drivers due to the various specs of the electronic and mechanical…
Mountz was asked by a long time Aerospace customer who was looking to increase their productivity. In its manufacturing operation, the aerospace company was using light assembly electric torque screwdrivers to build the power modules that sit under the middle seat in each row of the plane to enable passengers to charge their devices. With…
There are no hard and fast answers to this question since there are several points to consider. These include the frequency of use, general care, ambient conditions, and the torque setting of the power tool. The type of fastening process must be considered as well. An airplane assembly company may undergo rigorous daily testing whereas…
