Reaction & positioning arms

K-TLS, the smart positioning system for the K-DUCER!


K-TLS is Kolver's new intelligent positioning system for precision assembly, ensuring that every screw is not only fastened to the correct torque but also in the right position. The key innovation lies in its ability to be fully managed through the K-DUCER, eliminating the need for additional control units for arm positioning. With all the advanced features of the K-DUCER at your disposal, including connectivity and interoperability with MES and PLC systems, K-TLS simplifies the process.


By centralizing control within a single, intuitive interface, K-TLS enhances efficiency and ease of use, making error-proof assembly accessible to all.


Key features 

• Plug-and-play connection with the K-DUCER

• Control unit integrated within the K-DUCER

• 24 sequences, 200 programs, and up to 150 screws per program

• High precision with programmable tolerance

• Connectivity with MES or PLC systems

• Real-time position data

• Compatible with CAR, LINAR1, LINAR2, LINART, and SAR XYZ arms

• Use two arms and screwdrivers simultaneously with a single K-DUCER via Dock05.




TLS1 positioning system


For all of our other screwdrivers, the TLS1 is an intelligent system that error-proofs your assembly ensuring that every screw is in the correct location at the right torque.

The TLS1 control unit, connected to the desired arm and screwdriver controller, allows the user to program assembly sequences and X-Y coordinates for each screw with its integrated keypad. 

Fastening programs are automatically selected and enabled from the screwdriver controller based on the TLS1 Arm locations and current sequence step. No PC is required.


Note: if a plug-and-play solution that is integrated directly into the screwdriver controller is needed, we recommend the K-TLS.


Key features

• 8 programs, and up to 35 screws per program

• Screw position (length/angle) with accuracy: length ±1 mm; angle ±1°.

• Programmable tolerance and manual reset. 

• Password protected. 

• External keyboard and serial port for easy programming and statistics.

• Compatible with CAR, LINAR1, LINAR2, LINART, and SAR XYZ arms





Torque reaction arms


Support arms manoeuvre smoothly as they absorb the torque reactions from the screwdrivers providing ergonomic support for the operator. They reduce RMI (Repetitive Motion Injury) and CTS (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) while boosting production.


Folding and Linear Torque Reaction Arm Series 

Torque folding arms have been designed to eliminate the reaction generated by screwdrivers when they stop at the pre-set torque. 

Options include table or wall mount. 


Linear arms keep the tool perpendicular and prevent cross threading and side load. Each model extends in horizontal direction and arm length is adjustable. The fluid movement increases precision and production for a variety of torque applications.


Telescopic Carbon Arm Series 

CAR series torque reaction arms eliminate the reaction that screwdrivers generate when they stop at the pre-set torque (up to 50 Nm). 

Their carbon structure makes them extremely lightweight and incredibly resistant at the same time. This means that they resist degradation in high fatigue applications much better than conventional materials. 


Suspended Torque Arm Series 

SAR Suspended Torque Arms are the ideal solution to increase productivity. They can be easily installed on most workplaces to help the operator handle the screwdriver in total safety and stability while keeping the workspace clear. With minimized reaction force you will also improve finished product quality because there is no movement of the tool and all torque is absorbed in the joint. 


Three models available, depending on the motion of the axes.

SAR arms are supplied without tool holder – to be purchased depending on the screwdriver used (see table below).


All 100% made in Italy.
