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…
The EPC-10 wireless controller operates with the EPT-Series transducerized smart cordless screwdrivers. The controller can monitor and collect fastening and event data for up to 8 wireless EPT battery screwdrivers. As cordless tools are used independently, the fastening and event are sent to the EPC-10 controller in real-time once the operation is completed. The cordless screwdriver stores…
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…
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…
The EPT cordless screwdriver features a built-in bar code scanner. The bar code scanner lets the operator instantly select and activate a programmed fastening event on the controller. A bar code scanner can scan the bar code to trigger the correct event and capture and record the data for each run down by assigning a…
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…
Mountz was asked by a long time Aerospace customer who was looking to increase their productivity. In its manufacturing operation, the aerospace company was using light assembly electric torque screwdrivers to build the power modules that sit under the middle seat in each row of the plane to enable passengers to charge their devices. With…
