Error-proofing the fastening 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 and…
The Mountz smart electric screwdriver system offers a parameter setting option for an assembly application requiring torque and angle operation. The ECT and EC-Series electric screwdrivers allow a fastening process to torque a fastener to a preset value and then rotate a designated amount of degrees. The torque and angle process first tightens the fasteners…
The Mountz smart electric screwdriver allows you to program multiple torque preset values and fastening steps into a single rundown event. Group similar processes and assign standardized tasks: program fastening sequences and torque tolerances for each fastener in a sequence for sensitive and complex assembly joints. You can achieve multiple fastening tasks with one tooling…
When fastening long screws with the EC or ECT smart electric screwdrivers, are you looking for efficiency and accuracy? The auto-customizing feature learns the characteristic of the rundown and will automatically program the free angle. This process allows the tool to operate at a high RPM and then automatically slow down to a low fastening…
The EPT cordless screwdriver features a built-in bar code scanner. The bar code scanner lets the operator instantly select and activate a programmed fastening event on the controller. A bar code scanner can scan the bar code to trigger the correct event and capture and record the data for each run down by assigning a…
How do you select a precision torque wrench when comparing the technology and quality differences between a click wrench and a cam-over wrench? Each wrench mechanism design limits the amount of torque an operator applies. The type of torque limiting mechanism is what separates these wrenches in ensuring accuracy and precision. Applying the correct torque to each…
Mountz, The Torque Tool Specialist ®, introduces the next generation in cam-over wrench technology. Engineered and assembled in Silicon Valley, the FGC line of precision preset cam-over wrenches are the most advanced torque wrenches for high-level process and quality control. The wrench’s repeatability, traceability, and precision will prevent tightening failures. Surpassing the ISO 6789 standard…
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…
