Regular torque tool calibration and re-calibration guarantees the operator repeatable accuracy and adherence to international standards. Calibration also ensures torque equipment is operating to peak performance and can highlight potential tooling problems before they arise perhaps due to tool wear or broken components.
Torque calibration equipment can be found in many industry sectors such as:

Research & Development
As technology moves ever forward, with the implementation of new materials, processes and assembly techniques there is a demand for accurate torque application. The accurate calibration of torque tools is a vital part of this process.

Inspection & Quality Control
The accurate and repeatable application of torque is fundamental in any quality control process in order to save time and money. Torque equipment calibrated regularly and accurately can and will allow you to reach these goals:

Production
Torque tools calibrated correctly can provide repeatable accuracy saving time, money, materials and labor. Regularly calibrated and certified torque tools, reduce the risk of products failing in service, saving money from warranty and re-work costs.

Servicing
Engineers involved in servicing may have to apply various and accurate torque settings to a range of components. Accurate calibration of these tools is vital in achieving accurate torque applications.

Designed for high production environments, the E-DRIV NF-Series feature a high performance brushless motor design that provides durability and reduces the standard maintenance costs for electric screwdrivers. Additionally, costly mechanical micro switches have been eliminated in the NF series in favor of non-contact magnetic sensors.

In addition to lower maintenance costs, the NF tool is ESD certified, ensuring less than 1 Ohm at the bit tip.  ESD management in power tools ensures product quality, cost savings and a reduction in overall ESD failures.  Manufacturing engineers involved with microelectronic products are aware of the importance of controlling Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) failures.  Lapses in preventing the occurrence of electrostatic discharge can affect production yields, manufacturing costs, product quality, product reliability, reputation and profitability.

Static damage to electronic components can be realized as catastrophic or latent failures. Catastrophic failures are easier to detect and resolve. With this type of failure the part is “dead” and will not function. It may be costly to repair but is easy to manage. With latent failures the problem is much worse as the failure may not be detected in testing but is a “time bomb” waiting to happen. Since this product will get into the field and cause intermittent problems or failure in the field, it can be a much more costly problem.

In response to the demand from the assembly industry for a less costly, but highly repeatable and efficient cell based torque driver, Mountz introduces the Hybrid, a revolutionary change in repeatable screw fastening technology. The patented HD Series Torque Control System is the world’s first torque control tool using both air and electric power to set and control torque. The HD’s precise pneumatic pressure sensor and patented algorithm allow for precision digital torque selection. Adjustable torque and parameter settings occur with “one touch” on the front panel or through PLC signal. A high accuracy, brushless DC motor provides repeatable torque control. The entire system sells for 70% less than conventional technology.

Companies are looking to save time by improving the efficiency of their production space and methods. They want these results in a versatile production environment equipped for fast changeover to different projects. The HD Series is technically innovative, but most important it hits a bulls eye on the key objectives customers seek in advanced fastening solutions – lower cost, ability to leverage investment over multiple products, technology that is easy to learn and use and tangible quality benefits. Lean manufacturing techniques helped to drive the Hybrid product development, which was designed in cooperation with a major electronics product maker who clearly specified their desire in a product. We simply listened and collaborated.
