Ingersoll Rand Brushless Torque Screwdriver

SAN DIEGO – Over the years Flexible Assembly Systems has worked with many customers. We’re often asked which electric torque screwdriver is the best. One of the top recommended assembly tools is the brushless torque screwdriver.

Torque screwdrivers designed for high volume assembly come in two popular designs: brushless and electric motor. Both are good, serve their purpose and will increase productivity in any assembly process. The real difference comes down to the longevity of the motor inside them.

With a brushless motor, there is no maintenance required on the motor since there are no carbon brushes to worry about. Assembly tool failure is virtually non-existent, saving you time and money in the long run.

An electric motor, on the other hand, requires maintenance every 6 months: replacing carbon brushes, commutator and other internal moving parts. This results in assembly downtime.

Brushless motors run cleaner than standard electric motors, produce less heat, and generate low electric noise. They also have a higher speed range with no mechanical limitation from brushes or commutator—making them a good match for a wide variety of assembly jobs.

Torque Screwdriver

February 28, 2011

SAN DIEGO – Companies are looking for ways to be more efficient and productive in their assembly process. A way to do this is by using a torque screwdriver as part of the manufacturing process.

Eddie Silverberg, owner and torque expert at Flexible Assembly Systems says there are five important reasons to use a torque screwdriver:

1.    Productivity – There’s a torque screwdriver for every assembly application. Electric Torque Screwdriver, Air Torque Screwdriver, Cordless Torque Screwdriver, and a manual torque screwdriver have specific applications that will help speed up the assembly process.

2.    Safety – Using the correct torque screwdriver will reduce worker injuries and keep your production on schedule. For high volume manufacturing, an ergonomic workstation can further increase the safety and productivity.

3.    Quality Control – Using a torque screwdriver in critical fastening applications where a specific torque value is required will ensure the assembly process yields a high quality product. A torque screwdriver is much more accurate than a conventional screwdriver and takes the guess work out of “did I tighten the screws correctly”?

4.    Reduction in Failures and Returns – Using a torque screwdriver will ensure assembly is being done to the highest level. This will keep the number of product failures and returns to a minimum.

5.    Cost – A torque screwdriver will pay for itself 100 times over if used correctly during the assembly process. The longevity of today’s high quality torque screwdriver will also ensure capital expenditures are kept at a minimum.

Even with all these great reasons, it’s surprising why some companies are still using old technology, un-calibrated tools, or conventional screwdrivers. Mr. Silverberg states, “It’s all about having the right torque screwdriver for the job.” He adds, “It’s my hope companies will see the light and start using a high quality torque screwdriver and ergonomic workstations for their assembly.”
