As more and more industries embrace automation and technology to improve productivity, the need for smarter tools becomes more evident. With various modern power tools available, electric torque screwdrivers , in particular, are becoming more popular, and with it, tool balancers have become vital assets for these tools. Tool balancers provide support to the user by taking on some of the weight and making it easier to use the electric torque screwdrivers  for extended periods. In this blog post, we will explore the reasons why tool balancers are an asset to electric torque screwdrivers  and how companies can benefit from utilizing tool balancers. What Are Electric Torque Screwdrivers? In general, electric torque screwdrivers  are powerful tools used to quickly and efficiently drive screws into materials. They are designed with two components: a motor that is attached to the end of the handle, and an adjustable power control system that allows...

Assembly lines, manufacturing plants, and other industrial operations rely on the use of tools to keep the assembly area of a production line running smoothly. And to boost productivity and expedite time-to-market, manufacturers must seek methods to enhance their assembly processes. This can be accomplished through the maintenance of a neat, well-organized, and ergonomically designed work area. Tool balancers can help in this regard, as they streamline the workflow and make operations more efficient. As manufacturers and production plants struggle to cut costs and optimize production capacities, zero gravity tool balancers can prove to be invaluable in this regard as well. With ergonomic tool balancers, tool maintenance cost drops. Organized workstation reduces setup time leading to greater productivity and cost savings. In this article, we will delve deeper into how tool balancers can help to improve workflow efficiency, reduce costs, and save time. We will discuss why they are important...

The team at TECNA has put together a general guide on what are spring tool balancers, what is the difference between a zero gravity balancer and a retractor, how to select your tool balancer, and which tools are usually paired with which TECNA balancer model. What is a Spring Tool Balancer? A spring tool balancer serves as a mechanical device designed to hold and support a suspended tool or load. These devices maintain a consistent tension on the cable by utilizing a spring and either a tapered drum (zero gravity balancers) or a cylindrical drum (retractor balancers). The balancer can extend or retract the supporting cable to accommodate the movements of the tool or the load. Tool balancers, and spring balancers among them, are tools used to hold a hand-operated tool or piece of equipment in position and help move and manipulate them to minimize human effort during use. They...

Imagine a work station where heavy tools are randomly scattered around. A work station like this poses risks and hazards to the worker and the tools themselves. Injuries, damage to tools and equipment, and a decrease in work efficiency are just a few of the problems associated with an unorganized work station. Every year, approximately 340 million occupational accidents and 160 million occurrences of work-related illnesses take place globally. These estimates are periodically revised by the International Labor Organization and show a rise in accidents and illnesses. To solve these problems, tool balancers were introduced. They are versatile and can come in handy no matter the nature of the work. In this post, we'll dive into five applications of tool balancers that you probably didn't know existed. Injuries and Accidents in the Workplace BLS data shows that the rate of workplace injuries is the highest in manufacturing jobs compared to...
