Smart solutions are the best tools that any operator could have in modern assembly. Smart technology is here to enhance production by improving your productivity, quality, operator experience, and profitability. With it, your operators can be guided through applications and alerted the moment an error is detected.
A customer approached us with an interest in our electric tools, specifically our multi-spindle solutions. Without any smart tooling integrated into their daily assembly processes, their production was slower, and they were catching several quality issues down the line. With the right assembly solutions, we could improve their assembly and profitability. Read on to discover the solutions that made a huge impact on their production.
The dilemma
Before reaching out to us, our customer was using a press to assemble different pulleys. Not only was their productivity low, but it was also causing quality issues that needed to be identified and fixed before leaving the plant. This was causing their profits to take a hit due to the excessive amount of downtime.
Transforming assembly operations
Our experts knew we could transform our customer’s assembly with the right tooling solution. Based on their application, we knew they could benefit from 2-spindle and 4-spindle DC systems. These solutions would both speed up their assembly and improve their quality and operator experience.
Of course, cost is a factor when deciding to move forward with new solutions. So, our Tightening Services team is implementing the systems in the lab and running test studies to justify the benefits of our system as compared to the press. Furthermore, we are running these tests to figure out which system would work best for their application.
Atlas Copco offers Tightening Services, a specialized consultation solution that enhances your tightening strategy from the research and development phase to mass production. Our experts and tightening laboratory help you optimize processes unique to your facility. It is our goal to Maximize your bolt performance, minimize the risk of joint failure, and stabilize your tightening process to protect joint integrity.
