• Utilized sensors & precision torque system to ensure operator followed procedure.
• Captured part assembly within custom fixturing, only allowing release after proper parts & torturing are completed within pre-defined parameters.

Hardware/Software Solutions for Automated Torque:

• Hydraulic leveling legs to provide ideal work surface height for operator.
• Light curtains monitoring access to part supply bins.
• Custom fabricated “nest” to properly position & hold parts.
• E-Z mount tool device to assist operator with torque gun.
• Precision torque gun with networkable controller.
• PLC programmed to control devices & track operator process.

Our Proposal

We would like to bring our ISD group to your facility to observe your Torque Assembly process. This consultative visit would be at no charge to you. If we can develop a project proposal with a 10 month or less return on investment we will return to do a presentation. Your time is valuable and we will not waste it with anything that will require longer than 10 months to pay for itself.
