In the manufacturing and assembly world, tightening, controlling, or measuring torque on fasteners is imperative for production efficiency. An inadequately torqued fastener can vibrate or work loose; conversely, if the tension is too high, it can snap or strip its threads. Faced with these problems, manufacturers realize that precise torque control can distinguish between a…
Lack of torque control has caused vehicle wheel detachment, failures of life-saving medical instruments, and malfunctions of electronic devices. Engineers risk product failures and escalating scrap rate costs in their manufacturing process without torque control. To many manufacturers, understanding the various elements of torque control needs to be more noticed and understood. Manufacturers must have…
Modern manufacturing is global. One company’s product—like a sedan, a tractor, or an airliner—may be made of materials from dozens of countries and assembled in dozens more. No matter how many smaller contract manufacturers are involved in creating a final product—whether one or two hundred—only one company is ultimately responsible for the final project. The…
When under or over-torquing puts manufacturers’ products at risk, a break-over wrench can help support a quality control process by empowering an operator to prevent assembly errors. The Mountz TBX line of precision preset break-over wrenches ensures consistent process and quality control for accurately tightening various types of fasteners. The torque limiting wrench informs the…
Power-driven screwdrivers are suitable for an assortment of assembly applications. Determining the right electric screwdriver for your fastening application is a challenging process. The requirements for selecting an electric screwdriver for production engineers vary depending on the product type, materials, and the manufacturing process. When choosing the proper tool for the joint you are fastening…
Lack of torque control has caused wheel detachment on vehicles, failures with life-saving medical instruments, and prevented electronic devices from functioning. Engineers risk product failures and escalating scrap rate costs with their manufacturing process without torque control. To many manufacturers, understanding the various elements of torque control is often overlooked or misunderstood. Manufacturers must-have resources…
Production planning for torque application with micro-sized fasteners requires an engineer to find a solution to mitigate product scrap risks. It doesn’t require much force to over-torque miniature fasteners. Critical fastening assemblies, such as navigation systems for high-performance aircraft, automobiles, and machine tools, a product failure can cause severe quality issues. The rework time and…
