For parts that are fastened together and endure constant vibration, fasteners may lose grip over time. What’s the solution? A thread locking patch applied to the screw. A thread locking patch is a simple concept. The threaded area of the screw is treated with a dot of nylon, or a layer that wraps completely around…
Small torque tools are precision instruments designed to accurately and repeatedly tighten fasteners to a proper torque value. Overtime, all torque tools start to drift out of tolerance. Preventative maintenance and regular torque calibration cycles will ensure repeatable accuracy and adherence to international standards. Having reliable tools will increase productivity, reduce rejection rates and make…
Often, regular tool calibration is forgotten, ignored or delayed. Similar to routine car maintenance, periodic servicing is necessary or repairs can become quite expensive. All torque tools must be properly calibrated and maintained on a preventative maintenance and calibration schedule. Calibrating a hand or power torque tool is process that manufacturers need to ensure occurs…
Screw presenters make assemblers and the assembly process more efficient by mechanically presenting a screw to a fixed pick up point. The small and compact MSP screw presenter is designed to organize and automate work areas and production cells. These tabletop feeders can be used in combination with most any assembly application and power tool.…
The threads of a metric flat head screw spiral downward as an assembly operator fastens a medical instrument together. Is the proper torque control being used to keep that life saving medical device together? Tightening down a bolt or screw until it “feels tight enough” is not adequate torque control. That mentality is the path…
Like an automobile, torque tools require periodic servicing and calibration. When you purchase a tool for your manufacturing facility, it is an investment. You are accepting ownership of that equipment and are responsible to keep it operating in peak performance. Failure to properly maintain a torque tool leads to unnecessary expenses, potential product failures and…
Testing torque is an essential component in the manufacturing environment for many companies. Measuring torque is a process that is often neglected or misunderstood, which may lead to the incorrect torque measurement equipment being selected or used for torque testing applications. All torque testers can be used to measure torque. There are various types of torque…
The ergonomic torque arms by Mountz eliminate torque reaction from both power and pneumatic assembly tools. With the EZ-Glider linear and articulated torque arms, a “downward assistant kit” can be installed on the arm to speed up and improve the production process. The system requires no effort from the operator to press downward on the…
