There is a growing momentum to implement screw tightening machines to automate manual screw tightening processes and improve productivity. However, if the performance of the bits and sockets that transmit the power to the machine is poor, it will not be able to fully demonstrate the performance of this wonderful piece of equipment.

In order to improve production efficiency with screw tightening machines, it is important to reduce the number of equipment troubles and shorten the work time. This article introduces the importance of bit selection and specialized Japanese manufacturers that produce high-precision products.

Are you choosing the right screw tightening bit?　

One of the most common problems in screw tightening is "poor fastening" caused by misalignment of the screw positions and the bit slipping from the cross-holes. In the early stages of implementing automated machines, the cause of such problems cannot be identified until some time has passed, because know-how on the effects of bit wear and compatibility with screw materials has not yet been accumulated. Basically, it is important that the screw can maintain the state when it is tightened, but the bit must repeatedly transmit the proper torque to the screw. Therefore, it is important to pursue the best screw tightening bits for the screwdriver and screw used. Finding the optimal product will reduce equipment problems caused by poor fastening and lead to improved productivity.
