In industrial fastening, speed is often mistaken as a straightforward way to increase productivity. This assumption, often simplified further as in "doubling the speed will double the output", is misleading, as it disregards the complexities of torque control, joint characteristics, and material properties. While faster speeds can reduce cycle times, they also introduce risks such as thread stripping, cross-threading, and inconsistent torque application. Therefore, proper speed management is essential to strike the right balance between efficiency and precision, ensuring high-quality assemblies while avoiding costly rework and defects.
