Engineered, designed, and assembled in the Silicon Valley by Mountz, The Torque…
It may seem odd to think about the screws and bolts used in printed circuit boards. PCB isn’t automotive manufacturing, where great numbers of screws, bolts, and rivets hold everything together. The boards, after all, are printed; there aren’t that many screws, and these screws don’t hold the board together. Yet the screws in PCB…
Fasteners that are tightened down time after time, a power tool is often the tool of choice. Mountz electric torque screwdrivers are designed for precision torque control and ensure product quality, cost savings and a reduction in overall assembly failures. The NF-Series power tools are the best-in-class and represents a major advance in design and…
An electric screwdriver is often used for light assembly applications for industries like aerospace, electronics and medical manufacturing. The assembly power tool and should be operated and maintained like a precision instrument. A torque controlled electric screwdriver is designed to automatically shut-off when the preset torque value is reached and provide accurate repeatability. Mountz electric…
As new products emerge and demand grows, the manufacturing process is evolving rapidly. Automation and manufacturing engineers must adapt quickly and solve new sophisticated production challenges. There are many opportunities to improve the production process. Refining manufacturing methods and implementing automation equipment are significant opportunities. Innovative automation fastening systems provide the ability to quickly transform…
In the manufacturing and assembly world, tightening, controlling, and measuring torque are imperative for production efficiency and reducing manufacturing costs. A fastener inadequately tightened can vibrate or work loose: conversely, if the tension is too high, the fastener can snap or strip its threads. Faced with these problems, manufacturers are realizing that precise torque control…
The threads of a metric flat head screw spiral downward as an assembly operator fastens a medical instrument together. Is the proper torque control being used to keep that life saving medical device together? Tightening down a bolt or screw until it “feels tight enough” is not adequate torque control. That mentality is the path…
