Manufacturing products of consistent quality requires the ability to monitor and measure torque. Quality control starts with processes. For engineers, implementing an entire torque measurement program is essential for success at all levels. Simply running a fastener or bolt down until it’s snug and tight and assuming the torque control process is complete is no…
Modern manufacturing is global. One company’s product—like a sedan, a tractor, or an airliner—may be made of materials from dozens of countries and assembled in dozens more. No matter how many smaller contract manufacturers are involved in creating a final product—whether one or two hundred—only one company is ultimately responsible for the final project. The…
The risk reliability increases when an electric screwdriver drifts out of calibration over time or usage. Accuracy, repeatability, and safety are the significant benefits of checking your electric or air screwdriver’s calibration (also known as torque verification). The advantage of a torque analyzer is that a quality engineer can easily and quickly verify the torque…
The PTT is a hand-held torque analyzer, making torque testing mobile and easy, from calibration labs to assembly stations. The PTT torque tester offers a quick testing solution to ensure the tools fall within acceptable limits. The torque analyzer is ideal for calibrating and testing hand screwdrivers, wrenches, and power tools. Highly portable and user-friendly,…
A torque analyzer is a vital instrument for a quality control program. Investing in a torque testing solution eliminates downtime and expenses for shipping tools back and forth to an outside service center. It allows you to calibrate instruments more often and reduce calibration turnaround times and costs. Mountz LTT-Series torque analyzers provide engineers and…
A torque sensor is a versatile measurement instrument that allows engineers to expand torque calibration and testing capacity. The BMX torque sensors, by Mountz, make it easy to meet the demands of testing multiple torque ranges for torque tools used in production, maintenance, and calibration labs. The torque sensors calibrate hand or power torque screwdrivers…
Lack of torque control has caused wheel detachment on vehicles, failures with life-saving medical instruments, and prevented electronic devices from functioning. Engineers risk product failures and escalating scrap rate costs with their manufacturing process without torque control. To many manufacturers, understanding the various elements of torque control is often overlooked or misunderstood. Manufacturers must-have resources…
Over time and daily usage, a torque tool will eventually deliver more or less torque than intended. Relying only on time-based calibration intervals for torque tools exposes manufacturers to risks. Discovering the device is found out of calibration generates uncertainty. How long has the tool been used to tighten fasteners while out of calibration? The…
Regular tool calibration and torque testing processes ensure repeatable accuracy and adherence to international standards. With its easy-to-use touch-screen interface, the Mountz EZ-TorQ III torque analyzer provides quick and easy torque tool validation and calibration. The small and portable battery-powered EZ TorQ III can be used on the assembly line to spot-check a tool’s calibration…
Manufacturers must measure torque to ensure a product’s quality, safety, and reliability aren’t compromised. A torque sensor is a finely tuned instrument for testing and tool calibration. Torque sensors measure the torque output of both hand and power tools. Engineers and calibration technicians can use the devices for various torque testing and auditing methods. Measuring…
