Packaging requires precision. For high-volume manufacturers, low-tolerance quality assurance programs for packaging fasteners are a mus. After all, faulty fasteners lead to damaged packaging, which contributes directly to your operation’s percentage of lost product. The greater the rate of failure, the tighter your company’s margins will become. By employing torque-limiting screwdrivers and automatic tracking systems, you can reduce the amount of product you lose to faulty fastenings.
Fastener Quality Assurance Programs Employ Torque Control and Tracking
Effective quality assurance programs for packaging fasteners use torque control screwdrivers and wrenches to ensure fasteners stay in place. Properly torqued fasteners will neither back out nor fail under expected levels of stress.
Strong quality assurance programs for high-volume operations also track each fastener used, using screw counters and DC control systems. Many screwdrivers can be tracked simultaneously for continuous performance monitoring. With customizable settings, you can program screwdrivers to position themselves and apply torque to multiple fasteners in a sequence. Tracking systems can automatically detect—and correct—any application failure, including cross-threading, omissions, and unfinished rundowns.
Choosing Packaging Fastener Tools and Systems
High-volume packaging operations rely on the rapid delivery of small, accurate amounts of torque. Typically, electric screwdrivers, controlled manually or robotically, are best suited to deliver the speed and accuracy packaging requires. DC control tools and automatic screwdriver systems allow for the rapid application of many fasteners while screw presenters drastically increase system efficiency over loose bins and shaker trays.
