ASSEMBLY
Where are you today and where do you want to go? Addressing some of the most common issues can be done quickly and effectively, but it first requires acknowledging that your process needs altering.
Issues most often encountered in assembly:
- Missing fasteners
- Stripped fasteners
- Incorrect torque
- Operators letting off the trigger too early
- Missed parts in the assembly
- Wrong tools used for assembly
- Poor ergonomic positioning of the tool
- High torque reaction
- No traceability or feedback to insure quality and error proofing
Roll over each point for details:
NO CONTROL
When using a non-controlled impact tool to assemble your parts the torque applied is
dependent on your operator.
CLICK
A click wrench only tells you the minimum torque on the joint. We recommend using a controlled
or feedback tool.
SHUT OFF TOOL
Tool shuts off telling the operator that the pre-set torque has been reached.
QUALIFY THE JOINT
A shut off tool is accompanied with a device that counts fasteners, detects stripped or cross
threaded fasteners.
CURRENT CONTROL DC
DC electric tool that counts bolts, detects bad tightenings, provides feedback to the operator
and stores rundown data for analysis.
TRANSDUCERIZED
Tool is controlled by advanced electronics making it extremely accurate. Operator feedback and
torque networking are standard.
ADVANCED ASSY (MULTIS/POSITIONING)
Forcing the operator to follow a build sequence, yield control for the best clamp load results
and running several tools at once to improve joint integrity.
M.E.S. POKA YOKE
Tying all of your torque tools together via communication portals that only turn the tools on
when the part is in station. Also delivers work instructions electronically and collects the data.
