Do you use fine-thread fasteners that are susceptible to cross-threading events? You can utilize the “free reverse” function with the Mountz smart electric screwdrivers systems. This feature starts a fastener in the reverse direction for a preset number of rotations and RPM setting to allow the fastener to be fine with the thread. Then smart…
Faster than hand tools, electric torque screwdrivers are ideal for high-volume assembly operations where speed is of the essence. These tools can either be operated by assembly workers or robotic applications. The NF-Series brushless electric screwdrivers add precision and repeatability to the assembly process. Electric screwdrivers with brushless motors are engineered for higher efficiency and…
With select Mountz brushless electric screwdrivers, it offers a soft start speed function. This feature allows you to set the initial speed ramp for a fastening application. You adjust the starting speed of an electric screwdriver for a slow rotation, which allows for smooth engagement between fasteners and parts. It helps prevent cross-threading events. The…
Minor fastening errors can quickly blossom into big problems. Over- or under-tightening can cause the fastener or assembly to fail under stress, either immediately or later. When a fastener fails, it can have serious repercussions, including overloading other parts and creating a cascading failure or rattling free in a moving assembly like an engine. As…
An innovative world leader in medical devices manufacturing was ramping up production on a new ultrasound instrument but was struggling to optimize their new manufacturing process. Building this new piece of equipment involved a variety of different torque requirements. In the initial assembly, workers were using seven different drivers due to the various specs of the electronic and mechanical…
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…
Durable, economical and precision torque control are three key benefits for any manufacturer that uses electric screwdrivers in a high volume production facility. The repetitive process of fastening many, many screws hourly and daily demands a high performance assembly tool. For low torque assembly applications, accuracy is essential for preventing damaged products or reliability failures.…
