4 ways to stop injuries from torque reaction in manufacturing

Torque reaction is one of the biggest health and safety risks to operators. Over time, torque reaction can cause musculoskeletal injuries and illness, impact the productivity of your business, and the quality of your end product.
There are many ways to overcome torque reaction and reduce its impact on your business.
4 solutions that reduce the impact of torque reaction:
1. Tool programming
Specific tools can be optimised and programmed in a certain way to reduce torque reaction, protect operators and increase efficiency.
2. Reactionless tooling
Using pulse tooling removes hazardous reaction forces, ensuring operators maintain ergonomics while improving the speed of production.
3. Reaction arm
Using an external mechanical device like a reaction arm prevents the reaction from ever reaching the operator’s hand.
4. Cobot
Cobots (collaborative robots) completely eliminate the risk of torque reaction by replacing the need for human interaction in the production process.
