Field service and maintenance fastening applications often require a tool that delivers both torque control and the flexibility to easily adjust to different torque values. The Micro Torque screwdriver is an externally adjustable torque tool that offers different setting options for applications that require more than one torque value. The adjustable torque screwdriver features an…
Throughout the fastening process, a common risk for torque failures is the operator’s influence of operating a torque tool. Often, some types of wrenches are susceptible to torque failures and over torque occurrences. Inadequate tool or process training, as well as an operator’s decision to apply additional force are common symptoms for quality control failures.…
For companies that manufacture at a low volume production level, often hand torque tools are adequate to meet their fastening requirements. But when production demands increase, a new dilemma is born. Is it time to switch tooling from hand tools to power assembly tools? Selecting the proper electric screwdriver for a fastening application can be…
There are various manufacturing strategies for keeping assembly lines operating productive and proficiently. Not all assembly applications are alike and each one provides a different set of obstacles that need be resolved. Manufacturing engineers must confront challenges with ongoing ergonomic issues, rising labor expenses and inefficient fastening tools. An assembly line that is ineffective and…
Whether you are tightening large or small bolts and nuts with a torque wrench, the end goal is to achieve precision torque control with a high degree of accuracy. There are various types of torque wrenches for different bolting applications. Preset wrenches are typically used for production applications where a single torque setting is required…
Fasteners that are tightened down time after time, a power tool is often the tool of choice. Mountz electric torque screwdrivers are designed for precision torque control and ensure product quality, cost savings and a reduction in overall assembly failures. The NF-Series power tools are the best-in-class and represents a major advance in design and…
Every day we go about our lives, unaware of the vital role torque plays in our safety. Tightening down a bolt until it “feels tight” is no way to guarantee quality and safety. A proper production and quality assurance system is needed to ensure products and services meet today’s high demands. A dial torque wrench…
Specifying a fastening sequence is a good manufacturing procedure to implement for many assembly projects. It can be critical for key torque applications. The wrong sequence could cause manufacturing failures and add additional rework expenses. The sequence of tightening bolts or screws can have a major influence on the resulting preloads. A good tightening sequence ensures…
Assembly applications that require the manufacturing staff to tighten fasteners time after time, a power tool is often the tool of choice. Electric torque screwdrivers are designed to increase productivity and repeatable torque control. Mountz electric screwdrivers are built to automatically shut-off once the preset torque value is reached and provide precision repeatability. A Mountz…
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…
