Quality and reliability form the foundation upon which new companies build their futures and stake their reputations. As consumers, we are largely unaware of the painstaking pre-production steps and choices that companies make in order to develop products and assure their reliability. One of the most challenging steps that face these fledgling manufacturers is the…
A screw counter helps manufacturers detect and eliminate costly screw-fastening errors during the assembly process. Using a screw counter is like putting the eyes and ears of a quality control manager where they are needed most – right on the assembly area. The Scout screw counter from Mountz Inc. verifies that all fasteners have been…
Selecting the proper electric screwdriver for a fastening application can be a daunting task at times. So many options and features being offered in the torque tool market today. Understanding the technology and educating yourself about the various differences among the electric screwdriver technology is the important element in order to properly evaluate a tool…

Electric screwdrivers with brushless motors have an extremely long operating life with no need for regular maintenance or replacement of expendable parts (carbon brushes, rotor, switches and other contact points). Heat generated by the motor is reduced and screwdriver performance is always at the maximum level resulting in reliable product quality. The brushless electric screwdriver…
Solving fastening problems is about controlling variables or eliminating potential causes that create an unwanted fastening event. Let’s take a look at common unwanted fastening events. Cross threading, thread or component stripping, unseated fasteners, missing screws, nut or bolt (omissions) these are all evident events of failure that we can see with our eyes. Thank…

Mountz is offering various YF electric screwdriver models covering a torque range…
Joint relaxation occurs to some extent in all fastened joints. It is caused by the surface of part(s) embedding or by “soft parts” such as gaskets, plastics or spongy material, which collapses under the clamping force created in a torque fastening condition. For correctly designed joints, relaxation is small and can be virtually ignored. However,…
