Fastening processes that involve multiple screws are highly susceptible to errors such as cross-threading, cam-outs, stripped screws, missed fasteners, and incomplete rundowns. Left undetected, these issues can lead to costly rework, scrap, and warranty claims.
A screw counting process is a proven error-proofing method that enables engineers and production teams to identify and eliminate fastening issues in real time—before they impact downstream quality.
By monitoring the fastening process during assembly, manufacturers can correct errors immediately rather than discovering them later during quality inspection—where the cost and impact are significantly higher. The result is improved productivity, reduced scrap rates, and more consistent product quality.
Join our product specialist, David Cash, as he demonstrates how to implement a screw counting process to ensure every fastener is installed and tightened to the correct torque specification.
