TOOLS TO
INCREASE
EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY
ON THE LINE
Smart fastening systems provide simple, flexible, and cost-effective solutions for all your needs.
Taking total control of your fastening process does not have to be complicated...
With easy-to-use tools that integrate with assembly line control systems, you can confidently and efficiently maximize your productivity, reduce costs, and supply your assembly workers with the highest quality products.
HIT PRODUCTION TARGETS
The quality and consistency of your tools is important. They must meet your assembly line standards in order to hit or exceed production targets. QX Series™ transducerized tools control both torque and angle which can help eliminate tightening errors such as:
- Cross Thread
- Rehit
- Stripped Fastener
- Detect foreign material
- Joints that are not properly relaxed
- Missing the station's TAKT time
- Strong torque reaction
Tools with a closed-loop transducer deliver precise torque and accurate, traceable results to continually improve performance. The QX Series™ Ergonomic Tightening System (ETS) feature helps reduce tightening reaction and improves ergonomics and productivity on your assembly line.

Gain greater accuracy and flexibility with smart tools that deliver improved quality to your line.
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR FASTENING PROCESS
CONNECTED SMART TOOLS
Network-Connected Tools Deliver
Continuous Improvement
Do your tools enable you to be systematic and strategic with your fastening processes? In order to advance your line, you need a way to streamline processes to increase efficiency.
The connected smart tools continuously record and monitor tightening data for all tasks throughout the assembly process, ensuring all fasteners are secured to the right specifications. The controller continuously records the data while connected to MES. This data is readily accessible for enhance traceability and minimizes quality concerns ensuring operational uptime and enhanced production efficiency.
AVOID BUSINESS RISKS
Data-Driven Perspective for Successful
Assembly Lines
One of the best ways to lower maintenance costs, prevent lost productivity, and cut down on equipment failures is to eliminate errors in the assembly process. Preventing failures can be done by integrating reliable, consistent and accurate quality indicators into the assembly line.
With network-connected tools, you enable your line to stay productive and prevent issues due to failures. Fastening tools that provide multipurpose functionality and quality-critical applications on a plant-wide network enables greater plant productivity and delivers a highly accurate, repeatable and traceable fastening process.
CREATE PRECISION-BUILT
PRODUCTS
Address Issues Before They Become Systemic Quality Issues
If your line wants to improve quality assembly processes and eliminate errors, your tools need to provide data that enables you to analyze tightening results and identify errors.
These connected smart tools automatically monitor and record fasteners for instant accessibility whenever needed, helping maintain service records. This provides traceability and reduces liability issues to increase uptime and improve production rates.
