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 operator when the proper torque is reached by deflecting at the pivot point near the tool’s end. The unique break-over mechanism of the TBX torque wrench gives an operator ample time to react once the target torque is achieved and to stop applying additional force to the fastener.
Interchangeable Torque Wrench Heads
The flexible preset TBX wrench can adapt to different fastening applications as it is compatible with varying head options like an open end, box end, flare end, hex key end, or ratchet head. An engineer can configure a fastening solution for their application by selecting the head type and size for the wrench.
Preset Break-Over Wrench Improves Process Control
Modern, effective preset torque wrenches improve productivity by consistently applying the correct torque value to each fastener. Preset break-over wrenches are ideal for fastening applications where operators repeatedly assemble parts at the same torque setting. A preset wrench is similar to setting an alarm clock to signal the achievement of a selected time. The wrench is preset to the application’s required torque value. The tool breaks over, providing a visual indicator once torque is achieved.
A preset wrench 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 wrench’s end cap is sealed with a calibration sticker and 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.
Stop the Invisible ESD Menace with ESD Safe Break-Over Wrenches
Electrostatic discharge is a nagging invisible menace that plagues manufacturers producing microelectronics products. An ESD-safe tool neutralizes the threat of static electricity to prevent ESD events and safely discharge static charges. The device protects products and employees from the effects of an accidental discharge. Mountz offers ESD-safe TBX models for those critical fastening applications.
