In some types of fastening exact specifications are not just an option, they are absolutely essential for the overall performance. This is true in any type of vehicle construction as well as in the aerospace and manufacturing sector. The use of DC torque tools that can ensure complete accuracy and limit any type of human error in fastening are becoming more and more the norm in these types of industries.
There are many different types of DC torque tools and they are made by a variety of different national and international tool manufacturers. They are seen by many as superior to hydraulic types of tools that have been traditionally used in most industrial manufacturing applications. However, with these electric tools, the degree of accuracy is just so much more exact that the slightly higher cost is no longer a consideration.
Adjustments
One of the most important aspects of using the new technology in DC torque tools is that you can control much more than just the speed of the tool. You can also adjust the torque and the angle and monitor for any variations. This is simply not possible using the standard air tools or even some of the original models and options in electric tools.
Quality Control
With new types of designs of fasteners and systems within different industries simply going by feel or by torque is no longer a possibility. There is little quality control in these manufacturing systems when you compare it to all the data provided by the use of DC torque tools.
This quality control is essential in safeguarding the assembly process, eliminating human error, and increasing the accuracy of the specifics of each fastener across the system. By this method the DC torque tools ensure that there are no irregularities or areas of instability across the area held in place by the fasteners.
While DC torque tools are a bit more costly than other types of air tools that do the same general task, their ability to eliminate error is definitely a consideration. In addition these tools are much less likely to break or need the high level of ongoing maintenance that is common with air tools or other options.
