Integrating
power tools into the assembly line control system has been performed
for over a decade. Dedicated multi-spindle nut runners with computerized
controllers that provide feedback upon assembly completion have
been a major component in successful line automation.
This integration
has been a success in many areas; productivity has increased,
the risk of missed fasteners has dropped (reduced Risk Priority
Number in this area), and reliability of production has increased.
All of these have had beneficial effects on profitability.
Yet there
has been a significant gap in integrating torque application and
line control when torque wrenches have been used.
S/R
has not merely solved this problem, but solved it four different
ways!
Solutions ranging from systems that are 100% integrated with full
operator feedback to the most elementary single-wrench solutions.
This means that every assembler can find a system that will fit
their needs for integrated torque control, regardless of the type
of line they run or level of automation they need!
Take a look
at the Programmable Torque Verifier, Programmable Torque Verifier
FM, Switch Wrench, FM Switch Wrench, and Torque Control Verifier
Systems. One of these will fill your needs for quality, productivity,
and increased profitability!
