Torque measurement is paramount for many manufacturers. Simply running a fastener or bolt down until it’s snug and tight and assuming the torque control process is complete, is no longer sufficient. Measuring torque doesn’t stop once the assembly process is complete. As part of the overall quality control process, manufacturers should include a “Torque Auditing” program.…
How often do you find loose screws at home with household items? May seem like a simple nuisance, but not too costly for you to fix. For the US Air Force and Toyota, loose screws and improper torque control have recently proven to be costly and critical key issues. Last week, Toyota announced a recall…

Torque wrenches are a commonly used tool on the production line. There are variety of torque wrenches that can be used in a manufacturing facility for various fastening applications, like cam-over wrenches, break-over wrenches, dial wrenches, digital wrenches, click wrenches, beam wrenches and insulated wrenches. For manufactures looking to improve their quality control practices and…
The critical question must be asked: If proper joint design and proper torque application still do not guarantee that effective tension has been achieved, how can we know if the installed fastener meets the specification intended by the designer?Fastening errors can never be eliminated if proper technique and tools are not used. Audit discussion must…
The failure of a threaded stud that isn’t properly welded can lead to failures further along the assembly process or latent failures with a stud breaking in finished products, which costs manufacturers money and time with warranties and rework. Unfortunately, many manufacturers don’t use a quality control tool to test and verify if a threaded…
Robotics, computerization, and electronic mechanization have brought state-of-the-art automation to modern industrial plants. Thus, the need to perform quality control testing and torque measurement is even more critical to achieve a return-on-investment. Quality control testing has been neglected or downplayed by manufacturers for many years; however, a greater need for high-quality merchandise and competitive pricing…
