When planning a production area, it pays dividends in the long term to plan the ergonomics of the operation and consult a health and safety inspector or ergonomic manager. Ensure both the workplace and the assembly operation are compatible with the majority of operators who will work there. This can reduce future costs arising from …
A pulse tool has the speed of an impact wrench with nearly the repeatability of a clutch based shut-off tool. Containing precision-machined parts the pulse unit is a sealed chamber that is filled with a formulated hydraulic fluid. Pulse blades with a custom designed precision roller push the fluid inside the rotating chamber generating hydraulic pressure that …
If you’re in the automotive aftermarket as a shop owner, master mechanic, or equipment specialist, you’ve undoubtedly heard of torque—it’s how much rotating force an engine throws out, the engine’s ability to make the crankshaft spin. Diesel and electric motors produce more of it than gasoline motors, and you need it when you’re carrying a …
