Measuring dynamic torque requires a solution that evaluates both the power tool’s performance and the fastening joint application. A rotary torque sensor is used mainly to measure the torque output of power tools, including electric, pulse, and continuous pneumatic tools. Rotary torque sensors are mounted in line with the tool’s drive. It’s an instrument that quickly…
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…
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…
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…
How often do you verify a power tool calibration and repeatable performance? Over time or usage, these tools drift out of tolerance, and the risk reliability increases. Maintaining accuracy, repeatability, and safety quality standard are significant benefits for validating the power tool’s status. Measuring dynamic torque is a troubleshooting solution for evaluating the fastening joint…
A rotary torque sensor is an instrument for measuring dynamic torque with fastening applications. When paired with a torque analyzer, the rotary torque sensor is the ideal torque auditing tool for testing the torque applied to a fastener for assembly applications. It’s an instrument that quickly attaches to a power tool’s drive without interfering with…
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 torque tester allows a user to capture and store the torque readings. Data is stored on an SD card…
Mountz, The Torque Tool Specialists®, hosted a torque webinar regarding nagging quality issues that manufacturers look to resolve daily or weekly. How to detect when a tool starts to drift out of calibration? Every industry which relies on torque tools do so for the same reason: accuracy and repeatability matters. Whether it’s in a ventilator,…
There are no hard and fast answers to this question since there are several points to consider. These include the frequency of use, general care, ambient conditions, and the torque setting of the power tool. The type of fastening process must be considered as well. An airplane assembly company may undergo rigorous daily testing whereas…
