Mountz, The Torque Tool Specialists®, hosted a torque webinar about how to select a precision torque wrench, comparing the technology and quality differences between a click wrench versus a cam-over wrench. Each wrench is built with a mechanism to limit the amount of torque an operator applies. The type of torque limiting mechanism is what…
Manufacturing companies must meet high standards for product quality. Products manufactured on assembly lines must be identical. However, fastening every bolt in every product to the same degree is difficult, if not impossible, for an employee to do without mechanical aids. This variability in fastening results demands the intervention of a tool which can control…
Electronics are something we depend on every day as the digital age marches forward. And as the number of devices we enjoy in our daily lives goes up, the demand for quality electronics assembly also increases. As such, a global electronics contract manufacturer needs to meet the unique needs of every kind of electronics assembly. …
Precision is everything in manufacturing, and that is doubly true for medical devices. Accurate testing and diagnostics depend on every fastener and joint being tightly connected, signals passing through at exactly the right wavelength without interference, and encountering exactly the right resistance. The need for exacting precision is why a Fortune 500 Healthcare Equipment Manufacturer…
Companies in many industries depend on advanced process and quality control to meet the demands of modern markets. Whether it’s to reduce lost product by improving fastening results or to prevent liability with ironclad process management, companies seek the right tools. In industries with narrow fastening tolerances—including medical manufacturing, semiconductors, aerospace and defense, general instrumentation,…
When seeking tooling solutions, modern manufacturers must prize two qualities above the rest: speed and precision. Both speed and precision have a direct impact on product volume, which has a direct impact on profitability. Being able to quickly, accurately assemble products, from low-end electronics to zero-tolerance internal medical devices, predicts success in the fast-paced global…
What’s one thing the future is guaranteed to bring? More work. More products must be built, faster. In order to keep pace with the constantly accelerating economy, manufacturers must find ways to increase their output without significantly increasing their cost input. The best way to do so is to invest in better tools. The precision…
Everything that is assembled on a manufacturing line is put together using some sort of fastening strategy, and torque is a large part of these strategies. Consider the measurement of torque and angle and the role it plays in how fasteners hold sophisticated mechanical devices together. The usual way that engineers and other assembly workers…
Give the average person an electric screw gun, torque gun, or other power fastening tool and their first impulse will be to tighten a fastener as much as they possibly can. Often to the point that electric motors groan, sparks are struck, and fasteners break or twist apart. Experienced workers may do the same in…
Electronics manufacturing and assembly poses unique challenges. The need for miniaturization necessitates the use of small screws and delicate substrates. In addition, electronic components can be damaged beyond repair by the inadvertent discharge of static electricity from torque tools. Finally, the volume at which electronics must often be manufactured to ensure profitability requires high-speed, low-maintenance…
