REASONS FOR TESTING
LOWER ASSEMBLY COSTS
If your products are like most, more than half your direct assembly costs are absorbed by joining and fastening operations. Our team can examine your fastening methods during assembly and make suggestions on improvements to reduce your fastening costs.
PICK THE RIGHT ASSEMBLY PROCESS
Before worrying about the screw boss details, are you sure screws are the best way to design your joint? Let the experts at Peak help you determine the best design..
LET YOUR ENGINEERS IMPROVE REVENUE
Your customers choose your products for their features and overall value. They only notice the joints when they fail. Let your engineers focus on engineering to generate sales, and Peak can make sure your customers will not be disappointed.
LOWER WARRANTY COSTS
Joints are the most common root cause of failure in the vast majority of mechanical systems. Our experts can help you determine joint failure and prevent it so your customers have quality products.
IMPROVE BUILD QUALITY
Do you have persistent build problems with adjustments, alignment, loose screws or ergonomics? These all share a common factor; joint design. Peak is the expert in joint design and testing.
TESTING OVERVIEW
TORQUE TENSION TESTING
Need K factor, nut factor, or coefficient of friction data? Do not guess, contact the experts at Peak for torque-tension testing!
TORQUE-ANGLE TESTING
When fastener tension is not the primary measure of reliability, torque-angle to failure is the most common method of determining installation torque and testing joint capability.
ULTRASONIC TORQUE TENSION TESTING
Whether validating a new design, determining an assembly strategy or diagnosing a problem joint – contact the Peak team to find out how our high-tech methods of ultrasonic bolt testing can be put to use for you.
