Is lost productivity impacting your manufacturing output? Repetitive fastening tasks managed across multiple workstations, tools, and assembly operators is an opportunity to improve process efficiency. Implementing a fastening automation workflow allows engineers to bridge the productivity gap. Grouping similar processes and assigning standardized tightening tasks allows manufacturers to streamline the assembly productivity process and remove…
Whether you’re a production line manager or quality manager, improving your production is a constant project. That means finding cost-effective ways to increase speed and decrease lost products. When you’re working with products that are held together with threaded fasteners, managers often find room for improvement with their fastening systems. That doesn’t necessarily mean shutting…
Fastening regimes with multiple screws are susceptible to fastening failures such as cross-threading, cam-outs, stripped screws, omissions, and unfinished rundowns. A screw counting process is an error-prevention technique that allows an engineer to detect and eliminate costly screw-fastening errors during the assembly process. Monitoring the fastening process allows production managers to correct fastening errors rather…
At their United Kingdom facility in Whales, an engineering team sought a tooling solution to resolve an ongoing risk with some fastening applications. The project was for AC units that they produce for Volvo automobiles. They were interested in a power tool to enhance the process reliability and production efficiency to prevent product defects and…
