The importance of downshifting when fastening on hard joints

It's not unusual for someone new to precision fastening to complain about the lack of precision of electric screwdrivers when dealing with hard joints; in reality, a smart fastening system with torque control like Kolver's K-DUCER can be easily programmed to achieve superior precision even with the hardest joints.
As we have seen before, a hard joint is characterized by minimal movement between the mating surfaces during tightening, resulting in a rapid increase in torque once the fastener makes contact. This abrupt torque rise can lead to over-tightening, potential damage to components, or inconsistent clamping forces when working at too high of a speed, due to the inertia of all the rotating parts.

The K-DUCER addresses this challenge through its downshift function.
