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…
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…
If you have ever noticed the tiny screws that keep your laptop together, then you know how important fasteners are to the assembly process. The whole laptop is held together with small screws, and removing just one or two of these screws can cause vital components to slide out. Forget one when you put the…
A little bit of torque goes a long way in the world of electronics manufacturing. The ongoing miniaturization of components has resulted in smaller and smaller screws being used to hold together electronics products. At the same time, the criticality of delivering the proper amount of torque remains unchanged. Over-torquing fasteners can lead to deformed…
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…
Assembly applications that require the manufacturing staff to tighten fasteners time after time, a power tool is often the tool of choice. Electric torque screwdrivers are designed to increase productivity and repeatable torque control. Mountz electric screwdrivers are built to automatically shut-off once the preset torque value is reached and provide precision repeatability. A Mountz…
Counting screws is not the new song title from the rock band “Counting Crows.” Screw counting is a quality control process utilized in the manufacturing environment. Tightening hundreds and hundreds fasteners daily, assembly operators can forget to fasten some screws here or there during the monotonous routine. For complex fastening regimes with multiple screws on…
