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…
When testing the torque calibration of a tool, you can set up a target for the tool along with the tolerance percentage of that torque setting. The EZ-TorQ III torque analyzer’s touchscreen interface makes it simple and easy to set up torque testing parameters for a tool. Regular quality control programs like tool calibration and…
Measuring torque is essential for manufacturers to ensure their product’s quality, safety, and reliability aren’t compromised. The failure of a three-cent fastener that isn’t properly tightened can lead to catastrophic or latent torque failures. Insufficiently torqued fasteners can vibrate loose, and excessive torque can strip threaded fasteners. The best torque is the correct torque. Whether…
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…
Robots are known for repeatability. Programmed to perform mathematically-defined actions, as opposed to the associative actions taken by human operators, they will make nearly identical motions, over and over, for as long as they’re running. At least, that’s how the story goes on paper. In the real world, parts wear due to friction, lubrication dries…
A torque analyzer or a torque sensor are a finely tuned instrument designed for testing and monitoring torque applications. Designed for torque evaluation and verification, a torque analyzer and sensor are a laboratory grade instruments commonly used for quality control, R&D and calibration applications. In order to maintain accuracy, it is crucial that torque measuring equipment…
Calibrating a hand or power torque tool is a process that manufacturers need to make sure takes place on a consistent basis. Regular tool calibration ensures repeatable accuracy and adherence to international standards. A torque tool is a precision device and should be treated and maintained like an instrument. A tool must be properly calibrated…
