As part of 9Wood’s commitment to continuous quality improvement, 9Wood’s
Research and Development Department
has formed a partnership with the Wood
Innovation Center at Oregon State University.
The Wood Innovation Center
serves as a link between university research and industry.
One project measured screw pullout strength in particleboard.
Over-torqueing screws seriously reduces holding
strength. Screws were attached to particleboard at a variety
of screw gun clutch settings, then tested for holding
strength. This partnership has allowed us to create an
industry leading quality control system using a new torque
meter that calibrates drill gun settings very accurately in
inch-pounds of torque. (Read the results)
