Torque measurement is paramount for many manufacturers. Simply running a fastener or bolt down until it’s snug and tight and assuming the torque control process is complete, is no longer sufficient. Measuring torque doesn’t stop once the assembly process is complete. As part of the overall quality control process, manufacturers should include a “Torque Auditing” program.…
The Torquemate® FTA-100 is a torque tester by Mountz, Inc. designed for torque testing and calibrating torque tools. The digital torque tester provides exceptional accuracy for measuring torque on various torque tools including pulse tools, hand screwdrivers, torque wrenches and power assembly tools. The small size and portability of the torque analyzer makes it ideal…
Experience, Quality and Reliable In the manufacturing and assembly world, tightening, controlling, or measuring torque fasteners is imperative for production efficiency. An inadequately torqued fastener 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…
Torque calibration equipment is the official means by which torque testers and torque sensors are calibrated and are traceable to National or International Standards, such as N.I.S.T, ISO. A calibration is the method of comparing tools and measuring devices to higher accuracy standards. Mountz offers Calibration Wheels and Segment Arms for calibrating torque testers and…
In the manufacturing industry, one way to report and evaluate the process capability and process performance is through the statistical measurements, like Cpk. What is Cpk? Definition: Cpk = Cpk = Process Capability Index. Adjustment of Cp for the effect of non-centered distribution. Cpk measures how close you are to your target and how consistent…
Torque measurement is utilized in three areas of assembly. Controlling torque is quintessential for companies to ensure their product’s quality, safety and reliability isn’t compromised. Prior to Assembly Torque testing equipment, like electronic torque tester and torque sensors are used before assembly process for tool setup or conducting tool capability studies. For tool setup, the tool crib…
