> industrial automation settings In what context are you doing industrial automation, but have to worry about overtorquing a fastener? Wouldn't you almost always solve this problem by having a pilot-drilling + tapping step and then using machine screws? In what industry do machines drive self-tapping screws into things? (I suppose you could dramatically overtorque a machine screw and end up shearing the head off or something; and that this could have been more of a concern before there was any sort of torque limiting built into drivers. But torque-limiting drivers have been around as long as electric drills/screwdrivers have been.)
