Designed with durable all-steel construction and a corrosion-resistant finish, the IPT metal handle click wrenches are suitable for various production environments like machinery, aerospace, energy, automotive & transportation and appliance industries.  The preset click wrench securely prevents an operator from either incidentally or intentionally tamper with a tool’s torque setting. Preset torque wrenches are typically […]

Controlling torque is a critical element for tightening threaded fasteners. Validating that a screw or bolt is properly installed ensures quality performance and reduces failures. The process to measure torque is relatively easy. It can be conducted either dynamically during the fastening process or statically during a post torque audit. Auditing is a process used

The daily repetitive process of fastening screw after screw with a power tool exposes operators to the risk of injury. An assembly operator freely holding and using a power tool is an opportunity for cross threading and side load to occur, which causes fastening failures. Implementing an ergonomic torque arm into the assembly process will

A pulse tool has the speed of an impact wrench with nearly the repeatability of a clutch based shut-off tool. Containing precision-machined parts the pulse unit is a sealed chamber that is filled with a formulated hydraulic fluid. Pulse blades with a custom designed precision roller push the fluid inside the rotating chamber generating hydraulic

Overtime, all power tools start to drift out of tolerance. When testing a power tool using a torque tester or reaction style torque sensor, always use a quality joint rate simulator otherwise known as a run down adapter (RDA). The purpose of using a RDA is to simulate the fastening process of a screw. These

For many industries, building a product is only the beginning. In order to compete with other manufacturers creating similar products, it’s essential to be as efficient as possible with your assembly operations. At the same time, many industries require extensive production oversight to comply with regulatory bodies and quality assurance necessities. To meet the demands

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a costly nuisance for electronics manufacturers. After all, both the solid-state electronics being assembled and the human or automated tool assembling it build and carry electrical charges. The release of electricity from one to the other can cause irreparable damage to the electronic part. Even small amounts of static discharge, below

If you’re working in manufacturing or repair, there’s a strong chance you’re already using some variety of torque wrench. In any application where the fastening of bolts and screws is critical—which includes the aerospace, automotive, medical device, electronics, and packaging industries, to name a few—businesses depend on torque tools to deliver the precise amount of
