As experts in tightening techniques, we offer Tightening Services - our consulting solutions to optimize the tightening strategy from the design to the mass production phase, based on joint laboratory analysis performed by our tightening experts.
We know that planning a proper tightening strategy is critical for you, even from the design phase. The tightening process significantly influences the quality of the screw joint and different types of tools have different impact on the results. Let us support your entire product life-cycle from design to an optimized production, including personnel training.
As part of the Smart Connected Assembly solutions, our Tightening Services can:
- Accelerate your business's sustainable growth
- Shorten time-to-market
- Increase your productivity and first-time quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I solve issues on specific joints?
Tightening Quality is the optimal solution if you have problems with specific joints. We measure the clamp load, torque, and the whole progression of the joint, including snug level, elastic, plastic area, and yield point. All the above is necessary to define the issue and provide a sufficient target torque specification or tightening process. If Tightening Technique cannot solve the problem, we highlight improvements in your design.
