Mountz FG-IFR (Impact Free Resetting) preset screwdrivers use a cam-over mechanism to improve process control and productivity. The unique IFR cam over design provides a low-impact reset mechanism, ideal for assembling shock-sensitive components that reduce the vibration transmitted in the screw tightening process—ideal for fastening delicate parts such as electronics, plastics, and medical devices. Torque…
Mountz Torque FG -OWC (one-way clutch) torque screwdrivers use a one-way torque clutch system designed to apply torque in one direction and remain positive in the opposite direction, which allows the tool to be used for easy screw removal. Torque range suitable for micro, low, and medium torque applications. The FG-OWC screwdriver is an ideal…
Production planning for torque application with micro-sized fasteners requires an engineer to find a solution to mitigate product scrap risks. It doesn’t require much force to over-torque miniature fasteners. Critical fastening assemblies, such as navigation systems for high-performance aircraft, automobiles, and machine tools, a product failure can cause severe quality issues. The rework time and…
Any manufacturing application that requires a threaded fastener to be tightened needs torque control. Selecting the proper manual torque screwdriver for the torque application may seem like a daunting and confusing process at times. With manual torque screwdrivers there are two general options. The type of fastening application tends to dictate which tool is best…
Stopping the occurrence of electrostatic discharge is very important in today’s world. Many electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Manufacturing engineers involved with microelectronic products are very aware of the importance of preventing ESD mishaps. Lapses in preventing the occurrence can affect manufacturing costs, product quality and profitability through catastrophic damage or, worse,…
Ensuring fasteners are sufficiently tightened but not overtightened is a key objective for an engineer. The TLS Prime is an economical preset torque screwdriver designed for industries with low volume fastening applications or have less stringent torque control requirements. The preset screwdriver provides the basic elements required for preventing over torque occurrences. Engineered with a…
ESD is a nagging invisible menace that plagues manufacturers producing microelectronics products. A lack of ESD management will deliver costly consequences that impact quality and the bottom line. Avoiding electrostatic discharge (ESD) on the manufacturing floor is an ongoing challenge for engineers. Developing procedures to control ESD and selecting ESD safe torque tools will prevent…
Reducing the severity and number of fastening errors and failures due to either tooling technology or an assembly process is a key objective for an engineer. It’s critical that engineers understand the need for quality torque control when fastening threaded bolts and screws. Selecting the wrong torque tool for an assembly application will result in…
What is quality? In manufacturing, a measure of excellence or a state of being free from defects, deficiencies and significant variations. It is brought about by strict and consistent commitment to certain standards that achieve uniformity of a product in order to satisfy specific customer or user requirements (http://www.businessdictionary.com). Quality needs consistency. Quality provides a…
Any manufacturing application that requires a threaded fastener to be tightened needs torque control. The cam-over philosophy of each Mountz hand torque screwdriver prevents a fastener or bolt from being under and over tightened. These torque tools are ideal for fastening applications where over-torque conditions are not tolerated. As a quality control tool, the torque…
