TORQUE MEASUREMENT AND AUDITMTTSOpta220x220

Need help setting up your assembly tools to achieve repeatable torque?

Need help setting up a "Torque Audit" route on your factory floor? 

Proper torque measurement is critical in many assembly operations. Fine tuning of torque settings and process verification are achieved both on the assembly line with rotary transducers or on mobile carts with integrated joint simulators. We can help you verify or calibrate your exact torque needed on any type of assembly tool including: Direct Drive Assembly Tools (clutch shut-off) and Indirect Drive Assembly Tools (Impacts and Pulse Tools).

On the Audit side of Torque verification, we can help setup a "route" for your Quality Assurance Department to validate applied torque on your manufactured parts.  This means you can verify electronically without hand writing values on paper.  Call us today to streamline or setup this process improvement!

Crane_checkstar_thumb Crane Electronics - Checkstar Transducers Crane's CheckStar sets the standard for dynamic torque and angle measurement of all continuous drive and impulse tools, with proven reliable performance in thousands of applications worldwide.  CheckStar transducers fit in-line between the assembly tool and the fastener, measuring the actual torques applied under production conditions. Download
Crane_stationary_transducers_thumb Crane Electronics - Stationary Transducers Crane's stationary transducers are the quality choice for the testing of all continuous drive, impulse and hand torque tools in the workshop and production line-side environment.  Stationary transducers are used off the production line in workshop or line-side test stations. Combined with joint kits that represent the production joint condition, the stationary transducers form an effective off line test for verification of assembly tool performance. Download
Crane_joint_kits_thumb Crane Electronics - Joint Kits (Simulators)
Joint kits are an essential accessory for accurate off-line testing of powered assembly tools.  The performance of an assembly tool is highly dependent on the conditions of the actual production joint on which it is used. Tooling engineers are well aware of the "mean shift" term used to describe the different torque delivered by the same tool when applied to a soft or a hard joint as defined by ISO 5393. It is therefore essential in testing and setting up tools off the production line to allow for the joint conditions which the tool will experience on the job.

Crane's joint kits satisfy this requirement by using a bolt and suitably configured disc washers allowing free running of the bolt and a subsequent torque gradient to closely match the production joint condition.

Stur_exacta2_3000_Thumb
Sturtevant Richmont - EXACTA 3000 The 3000-Series system incorporates a specially-designed Exacta® 2 digital torque wrench that communicates with and is controlled by proprietary software. The data export capabilities of the system facilitate integration with your plant’s quality software. This eliminates inefficiencies associated with information and data handling, and allows you to focus on joint quality!  These tools are ideal for remote assembly operations, those where the assembly is of sufficient size that the tool must go to the assembly instead of the assembly coming to the tool, as on most assembly lines.
