This approach can be used to predict the mechanism of self-loosening of bolted joints without additional tests, and it is possible to make predictions with very low error rates using AI, which promises to reduce the costs associated with testing new bolted joint designs.
Modern manufacturing demands torque accuracy, traceability, and repeatability. The Promess TorquePRO delivers all three with a fully electric, programmable system designed for precision assembly and test applications across every industry.

How many times do you open and close the gas cap on your car? Once a week? Twice a week? More often? Over the life of a vehicle, you might fasten and unfasten the cap thousands of times.
Today’s manual torque wrenches and screwdrivers collect more data and transfer it wirelessly, providing greater assurance that each threaded fastener is accurately tightened
