Lack of torque control has caused vehicle wheel detachment, failures of life-saving medical instruments, and malfunctions of electronic devices. Engineers risk product failures and escalating scrap rate costs in their manufacturing process without torque control. To many manufacturers, understanding the various elements of torque control needs to be more noticed and understood. Manufacturers must have…
When under or over-torquing puts manufacturers’ products at risk, a break-over wrench can help support a quality control process by empowering an operator to prevent assembly errors. The Mountz TBX line of precision preset break-over wrenches ensures consistent process and quality control for accurately tightening various types of fasteners. The torque limiting wrench informs the…
Implementing a solution that prevents over-torque events is critical for engineers to reduce scrap rate costs. Applying the right amount of torque to each fastener maximizes its holding potential. Over-torquing a fastener generates risks of fastening failures and damaged products. Applying too much force while tightening a fastener can result in over-stretching a bolt, stripping…
You don’t want to be surprised by a torque wrench or torque screwdriver deemed “out of calibration.” After all, torque tools are precision instruments used to tighten critical, often safety-sensitive fasteners. Torque screwdrivers and wrenches go out of calibration with use. These hand tools should be tested and calibrated frequently based on the tool usage…
How do you prevent an over-torque event for a fastening application? The FGC torque wrench is engineered with a cam-over technology and prevents over-torque. The cam-over mechanism physically prevents the operator from over-torquing fasteners. Selecting a poka-yoke tool improves process control and reduces scrap rates. Fastening bolts with a click wrench expose manufacturers to a…
When under or over-torquing puts your products at risk, a break-over wrench can help support a quality control process by empowering an operator to prevent assembly errors. The versatile torque-limiting wrench allows engineers to improve process control by reducing the risk of over-tightening. The break-over wrench tightens fasteners accurately and informs the operator when the…
How do you select a precision torque wrench when comparing the technology and quality differences between a click wrench and a cam-over wrench? Each wrench mechanism design limits the amount of torque an operator applies. The type of torque limiting mechanism is what separates these wrenches in ensuring accuracy and precision. Applying the correct torque to each…
Engineered and assembled in the Silicon Valley, the FG preset hand driver surpasses all ISO standards and blows away the competition. For customers that depend on precision torque to ensure outstanding product quality, the Mountz FG preset hand driver redefines the hand tool experience. Engineered, designed, and assembled in the Silicon Valley by Mountz, The Torque…
Scuba diving can be a wonderful experience. Whether witnessing the multiplicity of ocean life in the reefs and kelp forests or mapping hidden caves in mountain lakes, scuba divers experience an element unknown to those of us who walk above. But with that comes an element of danger. Scuba divers—from coastal tourists to scientists to…
If you’re operating a manufacturing or service facility that uses torque wrenches, knowing the cost of calibrating your tools is essential to generating an accurate projected summary of ongoing costs. Torque tools require calibration. If the products you create or service have torque tolerances specific enough to require torque tools, you’ll need to periodically calibrate…
