As the headline suggests, one is always confused if it would be better to buy or hire bolting and onsite machining services. Apart from the economic aspect, there are multiple factors one needs to consider before taking a call. In this article, we will discuss what factors need to be taken under consideration before choosing to hire or buy.
The world is constantly developing with new infrastructural and construction projects coming up every year and heavy machineries are the backbone of the industry that plays a key role in improving productivity by reducing job time. Understanding their importance in this modern society, heavy machines need to always be available to complete projects before project deadlines.
DC electric fastening tools have been available in the assembly line for more than a decade. However, as the traditional or the air driven fastening tools were much cheaper than electric tools, DC tools were not as popular as they are now. With developing technology and prices going down, it made more sense to switch to electric fastening tools as they offered more benefits over traditional tools. In this article, we will talk about how AIMCO’s next-generation technology benefits assembly lines.

Valve is an application that controls the flow of the fluid or gas. It manages direction or controls the flow of a fluid or gas by opening and closing of various passageways.
Valves play a vital role in most of the industries involving pipelines or other applications. Some of the common industries having valves are oil, gas, petrochemicals, marine industry, and many more.
As defined in our previous article about different types of torque wrenches, a torque wrench applies the required amount of torque on a fastener i.e. a nut to either tighten or loosen it. However, there are many factors involved that deteriorate the life of these fastening tools. Based on experience in the industry, we have collated a list of common problems leading to tool failure or breakdown. Also, we will be sharing some preventive measures that can reduce maintenance costs.
Today’s cordless tools will convey massive amounts of power and execution in a more compact package and can even outperform their corded predecessors. The run-times are getting longer and the charge times are getting shorter. One of the most important chapters in the history of torque tools was the introduction of lithium-ion technology to the industrial bolting industry. This introduction created a fundamental shift in torque tool technology that continues to have an impact on industrial work environments.
