Guide: Establishing an Air Line System for Pneumatic Assembly Tools

To ensure the proper and efficient operation of pneumatic assembly tools, maintaining a clean and dry air supply is paramount. Moisture and contaminants in the air can significantly impact the performance and lifespan of pneumatic tools. Therefore, it is essential to implement measures to remove such undesirable elements from the air supply.

Determining the Appropriate Size for the Application:

  • Calculate the total air flow (in cubic feet per minute, cfm) required for the application.
  • Assess the size of the incoming air line and ensure compatibility with the tool.
  • Determine the size of the air line required for the specific tool.
  • Consider the air supply pressure (measured in pounds per square inch, PSI) and allowable pressure drop.
  • Evaluate whether the application necessitates lubrication for optimal performance.

It is crucial to avoid using higher air pressure to increase the output of pneumatic tools, as this can lead to overloading and shorten the lifespan of internal components, posing a risk to operators.

Selecting the Right Air Hose for Pneumatic Tools:

  • Utilize the recommended internal diameter (ID) air hose and fittings to ensure compatibility.
  • Regularly replace the air hose to maintain clean air flow and prevent contamination.
  • Opt for a clear hose design to facilitate the detection of water or dirt accumulation.
  • Use an appropriate hose length to minimize air loss and pressure drop.
  • Enhance safety by employing quick disconnect couplers.

Pneumatic Torque Screwdrivers:

Designed for high production environments, XP pneumatic torque screwdrivers by Mountz, Inc. offer durability, power, and speed for various assembly and manufacturing applications at a cost-effective price point. These screwdrivers prioritize operator safety and comfort, boasting lower noise levels and minimal vibration compared to similar pneumatic tools. Additionally, they feature low torque reaction, contributing to enhanced user experience.

Mountz pneumatic screwdrivers are engineered to increase productivity and uphold product quality through precision torque control. Equipped with a patented clutch design, these tools ensure reliable accuracy with repeatable torque control. The clutch mechanism automatically shuts off the air supply upon reaching the preset torque setting, preventing over-torque conditions and safeguarding the integrity of assemblies.

Pulse Tools:

Mountz Inc. offers a comprehensive range of shut-off and non-shut-off pulse tools under the FlexPower line. These pulse tools are designed to expedite production processes without inducing torque reaction. With low noise levels, minimal vibration, and reduced torque reaction, FlexPower pulse tools prioritize safety and ergonomics. Suitable for industrial assembly applications spanning a wide range of bolt sizes, these tools deliver durability, power, and speed, thereby enhancing overall efficiency in assembly operations.
