Wireless Error Proofing Systems

The Global 400 performs as a station dedicated process controller that organizes, directs workers, tools, and tasks.

Key Features

• Flexibility and Control: Allows changes to processes with ease and is ideal for flexible assembly lines with various optional components
• Error Proofing: Manages up to 16 torque tools and 8 holding tools with 100 parameter sets, organized into jobs and groups for seamless production
• Networking Capabilities: Connects with MEDS via Ethernet or 24 Volt I/O, enabling simultaneous communication for production control and data aquisition
• Data Management: Logs up to 20,000 network events and 10,000 torque events, with configurable reporting via Global 400 Manager Software
• Tool Compatibility: Works with various torque and angle and angle wrenches, click wrenches, and pneumatic sensor transceivers. Tools are paired easily and operate within a recommended 15-meter distance

Additional Benefits

• Reduced Costs: Lowers warranty costs and increases throughput
• Ease of Use: Simple tool pairing and minimal training requirements
• Helps achieve quality goals and provides continual guidance to new workers
• Error Proofing by Guidance: Provides error notifications and prevents batch completion until all fasteners are compliant

Data and Error Management

• Global Host Data Repository: Web-based, accessible from anywhere with internet, helps in data mining for trends and specific build aspects
• Behavior Modification: Ensures error proofing by not advancing batch counts on rejects and requiring supervisor intervention for resets after reaching reject limits

The Global 400mp is a powerful wireless error-proofing system designed for assembly cells with multiple operators and tools. It integrates hand tools into your MES, cutting rework and warranty costs while boosting throughput and quality.

Key Features

• Independent Operator Functionality: Supports up to four operators working independently, each with their own network connection, allowing for efficient, individualized workflows
• Comprehensive Tool Compatibility: Works with various digital torque wrenches, pneumatic sensor transceivers, and patented holding tools, with numerous interchangeable heads for versatile use
• Robust Error Proofing and Traceability: Provides real-time error-proofing guidance and complete traceability for each fastening, enhancing quality control and process consistency
