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…
Electric screwdrivers are an effective solution for manufacturing engineers to mitigate manufacturing risks, low productivity, and high product scrap rates. As production demands ramp up, electric torque screwdrivers allow manufacturers to increase productivity, lower costs, and reduce product defects. Power-driven screwdrivers provide precision torque control, improve production efficiency, and improve process reliability. These assembly tools…
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…
Assembly processes generate a vast amount of fastening data in real-time that can provide valuable information to aid manufacturers in making more intelligent process decisions and minimizing quality failures while maximizing productivity. A smart torque control system equipped with a transducer constantly measures torque in real time and feeds data into the system. In-process monitoring…
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…
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…
When fastening long screws with the EC or ECT smart electric screwdrivers, are you looking for efficiency and accuracy? The auto-customizing feature learns the characteristic of the rundown and will automatically program the free angle. This process allows the tool to operate at a high RPM and then automatically slow down to a low fastening…
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…
Error-proofing the complete tightening 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…
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…
