In the intricate world of controlled manufacturing environments, where precision and cleanliness are paramount, the choice of tools plays a pivotal role. Dust, microbes, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and pollutants are adversaries that must be meticulously managed in industries such as semiconductors, medical devices, aerospace and defense, and optics.
Clean rooms, foreign object debris (FOD) control areas, clean facilities, light labs, ESD (static dissipative) spaces, laser laboratories, pharmaceuticals, and biologic facilities demand tools beyond conventional standards.
With the demand for cleanroom and ESD safe manufacturing, the need for torque tools that meet stringent requirements has increased. Finding the right tools for your cleanroom or ESD environment is as necessary as creating a sealed environment. Without the right tools, your cleanroom or ESD manufacturing application may soon be fouled by particulate contamination or zapped by electrostatic discharge produced during the manufacturing process, negating all the effort that went into purifying and preventing these costly damaging occurrences.
Learn valuable insights into the various torque screwdriver options available for cleanroom and ESD environments. These insights can help you make informed decisions and prevent costly damage to your manufacturing process.
What You Will Learn:

Preset Torque Screwdrivers
Modern, effective preset torque screwdrivers are designed to ensure precision in your work. They improve productivity by consistently applying the correct torque value to each fastener. Preset torque screwdrivers are ideal for fastening applications where operators repeatedly assemble parts at the same torque setting. A preset screwdriver is similar to setting an alarm clock to signal the achievement of a selected time. The screwdriver is preset to the application’s required torque value. The tool signals once torque is achieved, reassuring you with accurate and consistent results.
A preset screwdriver doesn’t have an external torque adjustment scale. These tools have an internal torque adjustment mechanism for setting the torque value using a hex key and a torque analyzer. The locking mechanism prevents accidental torque setting changes. Once the tool is set, the screwdriver’s end cap is sealed with a calibration sticker and is ready to be used. However, if the preset torque value needs to be changed for a new fastening application, the flexible tool can easily be adjusted to a new preset torque value.
Adjustable Torque Screwdriver
An adjustable torque screwdriver can save manufacturers and maintenance workers time and money by allowing them to accurately tighten critical fasteners of different sizes—all with a single tool. Thanks to the externally adjustable torque setting on these tools, you can quickly switch torque values in the field or at the station, leading to improved productivity. A quality adjustable screwdriver has an easy adjustment process and a locking mechanism that prevents incidental torque adjustment.
