When precision torque & angle control meets intelligent vision, automation becomes smarter, faster, and more reliable.
Buchanan Automation, a trusted automation integrator, developed this innovative application combining Kolver’s K-DUCER KDS-PL70 electric screwdriver with Micropsi Industries’ MIRAI vision system.
Modbus is a widely used communication protocol in industrial automation. It enables different devices, such as PLCs, sensors, drives, and precision tools like Kolver’s K-DUCER, to exchange data over serial or Ethernet connections.
For automation engineers, Modbus is almost plug-and-play: most Ethernet-capable PLCs and industrial PCs/MES systems already support it.
When it comes to tightening tools, precision isn’t optional — it’s a requirement.
But how can we be sure that a screwdriver or torque tester truly meets the required standards?
The answer lies in certification. But beware: not all certifications are created equal.
