WHITE PAPER FGC PRESET CAM OVER PRECISION TORQUE WRENCH
Click vs. Cam-Over Wrench Demonstration Making sure our customers have the right wrench Mountz offers an educational “Click vs Cam” product demonstration to help demonstrate and train customers in understanding the differences between the two types of wrench mechanisms and the pending effect in has with a critical assembly process (see Figure 7). The product demonstration shows how easily and quickly a click wrench can unknowingly over-torque a fastener. Also, where an operator grips a click wrench can influence the torque output as most of these wrenches are length dependant tool types. Then a cam- over demonstration shows how this type of wrench prevents over-torque and eliminates fastener breakage issues. Preventive Maintenance for a Torque Wrench To maintain consistent accuracy, torque wrenches must be checked periodically for wear or defective parts. A properly structured preventive maintenance program optimizes tool performance and reduces unexpected downtime, thereby saving time and money. The more often a torque wrench is used the faster it will wear or go out of calibration. Monitoring the number of cycles per day or total hours that a tool is used is the most accurate way to establish proper maintenance intervals. ISO 6789-1:2017 requires the tool to stay within the maximum permissible relative deviation
after 5,000 torque applications. Click wrenches tend to require frequent and costly repairs and drift out tolerance quickly. The click wrench’s ratchet head and spring are common components that wear out and need replacement. The durable design of the cam-over wrench needs less expensive frequent repairs and maintain the tool’s calibration longer. With a control procedure, customers can expect 10,000 torque applications from Mountz FGC tools. That tool exceeds the ISO standard between calibration checks, which allows the wrench to last longer time on the production line and reduces the calibration budget and downtime. Cam-Over Technology Legacy As “the torque tool specialists,” Mountz has a fifty-five-year history of bold thinking and a 100% focus on torque that delivers confidence at every turn. From the development of the first electronic torque calibrator that launched a new product category, Mountz has always pursued new torque innovations, like cam-over technology, to help our customers optimize precision, accuracy, and quality across their manufacturing processes. Quality is at the heart of everything we do. Next Generation Cam-Over Torque Wrench Engineered and assembled in Silicon Valley, the new Mountz FGC line of precision preset cam-over wrenches are the most advanced torque wrenches for high-level process and quality control. The wrench’s repeatability, traceability, and precision safeguards against fastening failures. When under- or over-torquing puts your products at risk, the FGC cam-over wrenches deliver the accuracy you need. Mountz FGC tools stay in calibration 2X longer than the most stringent industry standard (ISO 6789). Engineered with a cam-over mechanism, the poka-yoke wrench prevents over-torque.
