Everybody needs some help from time to time!
When fastening for long periods of time, there are some assistance options that will help you implement a safer, healthier, and more productive process for your assembly line.
Having fastening assistance can help you:
Prevent carpal tunnel syndrome; Increase production cycle; Reduce operation errors; Increase assembly quality; Protect your tools from accidental damage like falling or being pushed off the work station;
Here's a few ways to achieve that.
1. Tool Balancer
A tool balancer is an easy and inexpensive solution that can help assembly line operators to optimize space and time during the precision fastening process. A tool balancer allows an electric screwdriver to be positioned directly over a work surface, where the tool is out of the way but readily available, while also assisting in carrying the tool's weight to reduce fatigue.
Tool balancers are an effective way to organize the assembly line and helping operators.
2. Reaction Arm
Support arms maneuver smoothly as they absorb the torque reaction from the screwdriver providing ergonomic support for the operator.
They reduce RMI (Repetitive Motion Injury) and CTS (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) while boosting productivity.
There are different configurations to meet your specific assembly line requirements. To view Kolver's offering, look at our reaction arms
3 – Positioning Arm
Positioning Arms are intelligent systems that error-proof your assembly by ensuring that every screw is in the correct location at the right torque.
Assembly sequences and coordinates are programmed in order to assist the operator through the process and can be set up so that the torque screwdriver is only allowed to proceed with the fastening operation when it is placed in the correct position.
4 – Collaborative Fastening
Meeting full automation and Industry 4.0 needs, the fastening process can be performed by robots or cobots. This is ideal when dealing with high volume and high duty applications.
Transducerized electric screwdrivers, and current-control systems, are a perfect fit to implement a collaborative or fully automated fastening process
Here's a quick video to illustrate what can be achieved by partnering Kolver tools with robots like the UR16e provided by Universal Robots: watch it!
