Torque wrenches go out of calibration with use. Verifying the accuracy of a torque wrench is a key quality measurement that must be taken for a successful outcome. Two accepted methods may be used. Verification is a process step to validate if the wrench is in or out of calibration. This test can be conducted…
The Loading Bench by Mountz Inc. is a laboratory grade instrument designed to enable accurate torque wrench calibration with less physical effort. The Loading Bench simulates torque application conditions with minimum effort and enhanced safety for the calibration technician assuring a more accurate calibration. The calibration instrument enables quick and easy torque wrench calibration and…
The accurate measurement of torque applied to rotating drives and fastening applications is an important criterion for evaluating production efficiency and quality assurance in manufacturing and assembly. There are many process monitoring applications that require rotary style torque sensor be used to capture and record traceable measurement results. A rotary torque sensor is a finely…
Regular torque tool calibration and re-calibration guarantees the operator repeatable accuracy and adherence to international standards. Calibration also ensures torque equipment is operating to peak performance and can highlight potential tooling problems before they arise perhaps due to tool wear or broken components. Torque calibration equipment can be found in many industry sectors such as:…
In the manufacturing industry, one way to report and evaluate the process capability and process performance is through the statistical measurements, like Cpk. What is Cpk? Definition: Cpk = Cpk = Process Capability Index. Adjustment of Cp for the effect of non-centered distribution. Cpk measures how close you are to your target and how consistent…
WHAT Is TORQUE? Torque is a “turning” or “twisting” force and differs from tension, which is created by a straight pull. However, we use torque to create a tension. HOW? As the nut and bolt are tightened, the two plates are clamped together. The thread angle in the bolt converts the force applied into tension…
An electronics manufacturing company uses torque testers along with benched mounted torque sensors to audit 150+ pneumatic torque tools on a daily basis. Each pneumatic tool has bar-code on it, which identifies the tool. A unique tool test (torque setting and tolerance setting) is set-up for each pneumatic tool and stored inside the PTT torque…
A torque meter is a finely tuned instrument designed for testing and monitoring torque applications. Designed for torque evaluation and verification, a torque meter is a laboratory grade instrument that is commonly used for quality control, R&D and calibration applications. The PTT torque meter makes ISO 9001 documentation faster and easier. As an advanced torque…
