By calibrating torque equipment regularly, organizations can ensure peak performance and identify potential tooling issues before they escalate due to wear or damage. [Torque calibration equipment](https://www.mountztorque.com/Product-Type/Torque-Analyzers-and-Sensors?hsLang=en) is utilized across various departments within an organization, including: - **Research & Development:** Accurate torque application is critical with advancements in technology and the adoption of new materials and assembly techniques. Proper calibration of torque tools is integral to this process. - **Inspection & Quality Control:** Accurate and repeatable torque application is fundamental in quality control processes. Regular and precise calibration of torque equipment facilitates efficient quality control measures, saving time and money. - **Production:** Correctly calibrated torque tools provide repeatable accuracy, saving time, materials, and labor. By reducing the risk of product failures, they help mitigate costs associated with warranty claims and rework. - **Servicing:** Engineers involved in servicing may need to apply precise torque settings to various components. Accurate calibration of torque tools is crucial to ensure precise torque application during servicing tasks. Mountz Torque offers two types of torque testers: - **Mechanical torque testers:** These [devices](https://www.mountztorque.com/Product-Type/Torque-Analyzers-and-Sensors/Torque-Analyzers/Torque-Analyzers-Validator?hsLang=en) offer a cost-effective, durable, and user-friendly solution for setting and calibrating most torque tools. - **Electronic torque testers:** Highly accurate, reliable, and user-friendly, [electronic torque testers](https://www.mountztorque.com/Product-Type/Torque-Analyzers-and-Sensors/Torque-Analyzers/Torque-Analyzers-EZ-TorQ-III?hsLang=en) provide additional functionalities such as downloading test results, testing hand and power tools, and offering various units of measurement. Measuring torque is essential at three stages of the assembly process: - **Before Assembly:** Torque testing equipment, including [torque analyzers and sensors](https://www.mountztorque.com/Product-Type/Torque-Analyzers-and-Sensors?hsLang=en), is used for tool setup and capability studies to ensure torque tools meet the application's requirements. - **During Assembly:** [Rotary torque sensors](https://www.mountztorque.com/Product-Type/Torque-Analyzers-and-Sensors/Torque-Sensors/Torque-Sensors-BLRTSX?hsLang=en) enable auditing of torque applied to assembly applications, ensuring compliance with specifications. Hand torque tools may also undergo regular verification to prevent calibration drift. - **After Assembly:** Verifying torque after assembly allows manufacturers to ensure proper torque delivery, detect missed or loose fasteners, and assess joint relaxation. Residual torque, the tension remaining in a joint after fastening, is crucial to measure. Mountz offers solutions for measuring residual torque, such as digital torque and [angle wrenches](https://www.mountztorque.com/Product-Type/Power-Assembly-Tools/Power-Assembly-Air-Screwdrivers/Power-Assembly-Air-Screwdrivers-XP-Series-Right-Angle?hsLang=en), to ensure proper fastening. Improperly tightening, even a small fastener, can lead to catastrophic or latent failures. Insufficient torque can cause fasteners to vibrate loose, while excessive torque can strip threaded fasteners. Utilizing quality [torque testers](https://www.mountztorque.com/Product-Type/Torque-Analyzers-and-Sensors?hsLang=en) is imperative for ensuring proper torque application and meeting the requirements of ISO 9001 Quality Standard.
