A torque analyzer or a torque sensor are a finely tuned instrument designed for testing and monitoring torque applications. Designed for torque evaluation and verification, a torque analyzer and sensor are a laboratory grade instruments commonly used for quality control, R&D and calibration applications. In order to maintain accuracy, it is crucial that torque measuring equipment…
Assembly automation is making large strides forward due to rapid advances in torque and fastening technology. Torque control systems are expediting all aspects of the automation process from installing error-proofing disciplines to the implementation of adaptive fastening strategies. Manufacturing automation is about tailoring and integrating a diversity of torque control technologies to enable an effective,…
To many manufacturers, the concept of torque is a mystery. Ask them to describe the physics of torque and you’ll likely meet a blank stare. Cracking open a dictionary won’t help much either. To the layman the definition reads like a foreign language that owes more to mysticism than science. Despite the confusion, proper control…
Field service and maintenance fastening applications often require a tool that delivers both torque control and the flexibility to easily adjust to different torque values. The Micro Torque screwdriver is an externally adjustable torque tool that offers different setting options for applications that require more than one torque value. The adjustable torque screwdriver features an…
A threaded fastener used for any assembly process requires proper torque control. Without it manufacturing engineers will end up dealing with the unnecessary issues to resolve product failures. Investigating fastening failures in the manufacturing process is costly and time-consuming. Mountz preset screwdrivers use the trusted cam-over technology that eliminates torque failures and are designed and…
As part of the Core Values at Mountz, caring about people is a key element to who we are as people. Julisa Avalos, a Mountz Customer Care team member, recently shared a story about her niece, Fernanda, with the Mountz staff. Her niece is battling a deadly disease called Cystic Fibrosis. Fernanda was diagnosed with…
Throughout the fastening process, a common risk for torque failures is the operator’s influence of operating a torque tool. Often, some types of wrenches are susceptible to torque failures and over torque occurrences. Inadequate tool or process training, as well as an operator’s decision to apply additional force are common symptoms for quality control failures.…
For companies that manufacture at a low volume production level, often hand torque tools are adequate to meet their fastening requirements. But when production demands increase, a new dilemma is born. Is it time to switch tooling from hand tools to power assembly tools? Selecting the proper electric screwdriver for a fastening application can be…
