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…
Workplace injuries are a multi-billion dollar dilemma, especially for the manufacturing and production industry. These injuries result in: Lost productivity Increased insurance premiums Legal expenses All of which cost companies time and money. The cost of preventing these injuries before they happen is always lower than the cost of dealing with injuries after they occur.…
