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…
With fastening applications, controlling the torque by which a screw or bolt is tightened to is essential for controlling the preload. Torque control tightening is one method used by many manufacturers to control the preload of a threaded fastener. An inaccurate tightening method or an improper torque tool being used for an application are key factors…
Finding the proper hand torque screwdriver for your torque application may seem like a daunting and confusing process at times. There are many, many options to choose from when selecting a torque screwdriver. Which tool truly fits my fastening application? That’s the key question you are looking to answer. When you are unsure of the…
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…
The PSE is an ergonomic pre-set torque screwdriver that’s ideal for production applications where over-torque conditions are not tolerated. Built with a cam-over design, the accurate PSE torque screwdriver prevents a fastener or bolt from being under and over tightened. The design action of the cam-over torque screwdriver is such that when the tool…
The Ergo Micro Torque Screwdriver is an externally adjustable tool that offers different setting options for applications that require more than one torque value. The adjustable screwdriver does feature an external adjustment scale, which allows for an operator to adjust the torque setting as needed for the application. The EMT is ideal for field service…
A dial indicating torque screwdriver is designed for torque evaluation and torque verification. It is a low cost tool that can be utilized for QC, R & D and assembly operations. The Mountz dial indicating torque screwdriver can be used to monitor torque as it increases or decreases or display peak torque applied. The dial…
