Preventing over-torque events is critical for reducing scrap, preventing fastening failures, and improving overall product quality. Applying the correct amount of torque to each fastener ensures optimal clamp load and maximizes the reliability of the joint. However, over-tightening can create serious manufacturing risks, including damaged threads, stripped screws, broken fasteners, and overstretched bolts.
Many fastening failures occur because operators unknowingly apply additional force beyond the target torque value. The type of torque wrench used in the assembly process plays a major role in preventing these issues. Unlike click-style torque wrenches, cam-over wrench technology physically limits the amount of torque an operator can apply—helping eliminate over-torque conditions before they occur.
Selecting the right torque-limiting technology can significantly improve fastening consistency and reduce quality risks on the manufacturing floor. Implementing error-proofing methods with preset torque tools also helps improve productivity by ensuring operators consistently achieve the correct torque setting.
In this webinar, Product Specialist David Cash will explain three effective ways to prevent over-torque failures using cam-over wrench technology. He will demonstrate how the proper torque tool selection can improve assembly quality, reduce rework, and strengthen your fastening process.
