Mountz, Inc – the torque tool specialists adds two new engineer resources to its website, www.mountztorque.com. These new web applications, the “Torque Tool Selector” and the “Torque Converter Calculator” provide users with valuable information to help improve job performance and productivity.

Easy to navigate, the “Torque Tool Selector” helps engineers narrow a selection of torque tools to fit his or her application. It customizes the search based on user interaction and input. By answering a small set of questions about how the torque tool will be used, the user is presented a customized list that meets their criteria. Then the Selector offers further filtering options, like the range of torque for the application, how the torque will be applied and other unique tool options, helping users save time to reach the best choices that fit their criteria. The user can define how narrow they wish the search to be within the Selector, and the end result is a self-defined list with easy access to torque tool descriptions, specs and resources.

Torque Control is more than simply taking a hand or power tool and tightening a fastener or bolt. The “Torque Tool Selector” will educate engineers and assist them in selecting the proper tool for the application. Controlling torque is essential for companies to ensure that their product’s quality, safety and reliability isn’t compromised.

Ergonomic Standards Still a Threat to Manufacturers

Posted by Mountz Torque December 8th, 2010 0 Comments   

Even during a slow economy, manufacturers must still take all necessary precautions to ensure that their workers stay protected from injuries and disorders resulting from the repetitive use of improper manufacturing processes.  Fortunately, by initiating preventative practices and selecting ergonomically designed tools, employers can help lessen their exposure to citation and liability.

A complicated and costly issue
Ergonomics is the science of fitting job functions to the physical capabilities of the human body.  Without proper ergonomics on the production floor, employees can be subject to musculoskeletal disorders when a mismatch arises between the physical capacity of workers and the physical demands of their occupation. Jobs that involve reaching, bending over, using continuous force, working with vibrating equipment and doing repetitive motions pose a particular risk for developing injuries and disorders.
