Content

In many production environments, torque wrenches are the tool of choice to ensure secure bolted joints. However, even when tools are set correctly, the actual torque that is applied may not necessarily match. This is due to typical error sources in the bolt tightening process, such as an incorrect extension length or continued load after the click, which often go unnoticed on a day-to-day basis. The consequences range from quality issues and rework to safety-critical risks.

In this webinar, we will use practical examples to explain how these errors arise, the impact they have on quality and process reliability, and the solutions offered by modern torque technology to mitigate typical sources of error.

By the end of the webinar, you will understand why a torque wrench that is set to the target value does not necessarily guarantee a correct bolted joint. We will share specific recommendations on how to improve the quality of bolt tightening processes and make bolted joints more reliable, reproducible, and traceable.
