Electronics Manufacturing Company Establishes a Torque Tool Auditing System

Posted by Mountz Torque February 23rd, 2011 0 Comments   

An electronics manufacturing company uses torque testers along with benched mounted torque sensors to audit 150+ pneumatic torque tools on a daily basis. Each pneumatic tool has bar-code on it, which identifies the tool. A unique tool test (torque setting and tolerance setting) is set-up for each pneumatic tool and stored inside the PTT torque meter.

The operator scans the pneumatic tool with a bar code reader, and the preset tool test for that individual pneumatic tool is automatically displayed on the PTT torque meter. Using a run down adapter mounted in-line between the tool drive and the BMX torque sensor, the operator checks the torque output for that pneumatic tool. After each run down, the run down adapter should be completely backed-up.

The operator must conduct five run downs with the pneumatic tool. If the operator sees a “green light” displayed on the PTT after each run down, the tool has passed the test and is authorized for use. The torque readings from the test are stored on the PTT. Then the quality manager downloads the data to their network for archiving the test results, which fulfills their ISO procedure.

Peform Torque Calibration for Various Torque Tools with a Torque Sensor

Posted by Mountz Torque November 24th, 2010 0 Comments   

Meeting the demands to test multiple torque ranges for various torque tools used in production, maintenance and calibration labs, the versatile BMX Torque Sensor is used in conjunction with a torque tester. The BMX Torque Sensor is a bench mounted calibration instrument designed for torque wrench calibration, torque screwdriver calibration, and electric & pneumatic screwdriver calibration. Mountz, Inc. offers various BMX Torque Sensor models that range from 2 ozf.in up to 20,000 lbf.ft.

BMX features the new “EZ-Plug & Play” technology, which is an auto recognition system with Mountz torque testers. No need for setup. Simply plug-in the BMX torque sensor to a Mountz PTT or LTT torque tester and start testing. Controlling torque is essential for companies to ensure their product’s quality, safety and reliability isn’t compromised.
