Published by Elsevier.The objective of this research is to implement an augmented reality system focused on the training of audit torque, where a person without any knowledge of the theories and application of torque, will be able to understand, implement and audit the pair residual strength in the necessary processes in order to improve the quality of a product that has bolted joints. Today manufacturing companies and especially those that focus on the automotive, aerospace and consumer need to apply precise torque and validated to the large number of bolted connections they have in their products. For the application of torque there are several very complete theories because it is a very critical process for the final quality product. Theories of torque can become complex because they need to have a preliminary knowledge of engineering, as well as a company training to implement this. Each torque required to enter certain applied force specifications so to see if the applied torque is within these, you need to audit the residual torque. The residual torque refers to know the force which is at the junction after being screwed tight. It was observed as a result of this experiment that the inherent difference between the performance of the torque wrench and screw connection performance in delivering the force required for efficient clamping force decreases their variability with the help of augmented reality.
