Inverted Telescoping Arms Operation Instructions
Introduction
The Telescoping arm provides the operator full flexibility on the assembly line. Crafted with lightweight durable carbon fiber the arm collapses like a telescope. The easy-to-use arm requires little space and doesn't disrupt the flow of production. Can be mounted to a workbench or wall. The carbon fiber design provides for high level of rigidity and flexibility as well as being maintenance free. Inverted Telescoping Arms features a reinforced sleeve for long durability with higher

Installation and Maintenance Recommendations for the Telescoping Arms
1. Make sure that the carbon fiber tubes are not subject to impact when the arm is in use.
2. The telescoping arms should not be used at maximum arm reach on a permanent basis.
3. Check that there is no excessive play in the clamp/yoke link (see Fig 1).
4. To maximize the dispersion of the torque reaction, respect the following angle positioning (see Fig 2).
5. When the Telescoping Arm is installed at horizontal position, use the universal adapter delivered with the arm.

Vertical Position on Fix Support
The universal adapter is not necessary anymore. Remove it and mount the arm directly on the support with a fasterner or bolt. Due to the built-in swivel support, the telescoping arm will remain free to move.

The Telescoping Torque Arms can be mounted to the Standard Gliding Rail System (sold separately) and can be used in a variety of positions. For a vertical position it is necessary to install one additional item, an interface bracket (sold separately) along with a balancing kit (sold separately).
Standard Gliding Rail System
Each Standard Gliding Rail System includes one Carriage. Additional
Carriages can purchased separately and added.

Tool Positioning Options
Besides the standard in-line tool mounting position, the telescoping arm can be used with assembly tools in a variety of positions. For some tool positioning options, a different tool clamp needs to be order separately (See page 8).

Testing Power Tools:
1. Application Method: Use a torque tester in “Peak Mode” with a rotary torque sensor between the power tool and the actual application. This is the best way to test since you are using the actual joint as the test station. You will see the actual torque applied to the fastener. Caution: Variances in tool performance may occur do to the addition of the rotary torque sensor.
2. Simulated Method: Always use a quality joint rate simulator (run down adapter) with a torque tester when testing power tools in a simulated application. Use Joint rate and Breakaway methods to obtain most accurate torque readings in a simulated rundown.

Mountz Torque Testers and Calibration Equipment
Torque tools go out of calibration with use. Calibrating a torque tool is a fine-tuning process of bringing the tool back within its tolerance. Torque testers can also be used for quick tools tests on the line or in the lab to determine whether torque tools are holding a given setting.

A regular torque tool calibration and re-calibration guarantees the operator repeatable accuracy and adherence to international standards. Torque testing also ensures torque equipment is operating to peak performance and can highlight potential tooling problems before they arise perhaps due to tool wear or broken components.

Controlling torque is essential for companies to ensure their product's quality, safety and reliability isn't compromised. The failure of a three-cent fastener that isn’t properly tightened can lead to catastrophic or latent failures. Fasteners that are insufficiently torqued can vibrate loose and excessive torque can strip threaded fasteners.
Using a quality torque tool has become increasingly important for many companies to ensure that proper torque is being applied and maintains gauge requirements associated with the ISO 9001 Quality Standard. Look for the Mountz hexagon logo it's a stamp for quality tools, service and knowledge in the field of torque control.
