Manufacturers experiencing excessive scrap-causing mistakes is a signal of an assembly process control issue. How can engineers and quality teams actively work to reduce the amount of scrap generated from a poor fastening process? Manufacturers can minimize and eliminate waste and improve operations processes with a process improvement initiative. Advances in torque fastening technology are…
Is lost productivity impacting your manufacturing output? Repetitive fastening tasks managed across multiple workstations, tools, and assembly operators is an opportunity to improve process efficiency. Implementing a fastening automation workflow allows engineers to bridge the productivity gap. Grouping similar processes and assigning standardized tightening tasks allows manufacturers to streamline the assembly productivity process and remove…
Whether you’re a production line manager or quality manager, improving your production is a constant project. That means finding cost-effective ways to increase speed and decrease lost products. When you’re working with products that are held together with threaded fasteners, managers often find room for improvement with their fastening systems. That doesn’t necessarily mean shutting…
Solving fastening errors is about controlling variables or eliminating potential risks that create an unwanted fastening event. Mistake proofing is the quickest path to zero defects and is a critical enabler for efficient manufacturing. Preventing errors during the tightening process improves manufacturers’ quality control by reducing the number of defective products pulled from the assembly…
Manufacturers experiencing excessive scrap-causing mistakes is a signal of an assembly process control issue. How can engineers and quality teams actively work to reduce the amount of scrap generated from a poor fastening process? With a process improvement initiative, manufacturers can minimize and eliminate waste and improve processes in operation. Advances in torque fastening technology…
Solving fastening errors is about controlling variables or eliminating potential risks that create an unwanted fastening event. Mistake proofing is the quickest path to zero defects and is a critical enabler for efficient manufacturing. Error-proofing the complete tightening process improves manufacturers’ quality control process by reducing the number of defective products pulled from the assembly…
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…
Error-proofing the fastening process improves manufacturers’ quality control process by reducing the number of defective products pulled from the assembly line and hedging the risk of liability from product failures in the field. A screw rattling loose in the avionics of a high-performance jet or from an implanted medical device can cause significant liability and…
The Mountz smart electric screwdriver system offers a parameter setting option for an assembly application requiring torque and angle operation. The ECT and EC-Series electric screwdrivers allow a fastening process to torque a fastener to a preset value and then rotate a designated amount of degrees. The torque and angle process first tightens the fasteners…
The Mountz smart electric screwdriver allows you to program multiple torque preset values and fastening steps into a single rundown event. Group similar processes and assign standardized tasks: program fastening sequences and torque tolerances for each fastener in a sequence for sensitive and complex assembly joints. You can achieve multiple fastening tasks with one tooling…
