An electric torque screwdriver is a precision torque control instrument and should be handled with care at all times. There are different methods for testing the torque output of an electric screwdriver. Each method has a key purpose. The video below provides a brief overview of the different methods. In a calibration lab, you want…
There are various manufacturing strategies for keeping assembly lines operating productive and proficiently. Not all assembly applications are alike and each one provides a different set of obstacles that need be resolved. Manufacturing engineers must confront challenges with ongoing ergonomic issues, rising labor expenses and inefficient fastening tools. An assembly line that is ineffective and…
Whether you are tightening large or small bolts and nuts with a torque wrench, the end goal is to achieve precision torque control with a high degree of accuracy. There are various types of torque wrenches for different bolting applications. Preset wrenches are typically used for production applications where a single torque setting is required…
Controlling torque is a critical element for tightening threaded fasteners. Validating that a screw or bolt is properly installed ensures quality performance and reduces failures. The process to measure torque is relatively easy. It can be conducted either dynamically during the fastening process or statically during a post torque audit. Auditing is a process used…
Fasteners that are tightened down time after time, a power tool is often the tool of choice. Mountz electric torque screwdrivers are designed for precision torque control and ensure product quality, cost savings and a reduction in overall assembly failures. The NF-Series power tools are the best-in-class and represents a major advance in design and…
The daily repetitive process of fastening screw after screw with a power tool exposes operators to the risk of injury. An assembly operator freely holding and using a power tool is an opportunity for cross threading and side load to occur, which causes fastening failures. Implementing an ergonomic torque arm into the assembly process will…
Every time a fastener is used to form a joint between two parts, torque control is a key element of that formula. Ensuring a well-tightened fastener is installed properly to the pre-defined torque specification will determine the success or failure of a product. Torque testing is key to identifying and reducing fastening failures. A lack…
Torque is a critical component in manufacturing many products. Once the assembly process is completed, measuring torque isn’t finished. A threaded fastener should be audited to verify the joint has been tightened to the proper torque specification. Verification ensures compliance to quality requirements. Residual torque is the amount of tension that remains in a joint…
