Regular tool calibration and torque testing processes ensure repeatable accuracy and adherence to international standards. With its easy-to-use touch-screen interface, the Mountz EZ-TorQ III torque analyzer provides quick and easy torque tool validation and calibration. The small and portable battery-powered EZ TorQ III can be used on the assembly line to spot-check a tool’s calibration…
There are no hard and fast answers to this question since there are several points to consider. These include the frequency of use, general care, ambient conditions, and the torque setting of the power tool. The type of fastening process must be considered as well. An airplane assembly company may undergo rigorous daily testing whereas…
This article is about using rotary torque sensors to measure torque during the torque verification and auditing process. But first, let’s talk football. Recently, a professional field goal kicker blew an easy shot. It was his second in the game and his fifth in two weeks. You can call it coincidence or cause-and-effect, but his…
As a precision technician, you use a torque wrench to achieve the exact tightness you need to extract maximum performance. However, the only way you can be sure a fastener is tight enough to resist vibration, but not so tight as to strip the threads or stretch the bolt beyond its yield point, is through…
Whether you’re producing large volumes of products or small batches with low or no tolerance for failure, repeatability is king. Of course, in an imperfect world, perfect repeatability is easier aspired to than achieved. So, what’s the solution? Testing your tools as often and as accurately as you’re able. The electric and pneumatic tools you…
