Tightening with collaborative robots and LRT PowerHEAD
LRT PowerHEAD standas for "Low Reaction Tools PowerHEAD"
Thinking about automating some of your assembly processes and finding the costs prohibitive? Perhaps you're looking at collaborative robots, or cobots, as a cost-effective way. A good idea, but cobots do have their limitations, particularly when it comes to direct-driven tools in high torque tightening applications. Atlas Copco has a solution.
Manufacturers often see opportunities for automation in their production yet do not see products that will make it easy, cost effective and reliable. In response, we have developed the LRT PowerHEAD (LRT stands for Low Reaction Tool).
LRT PowerHEAD together with TBP Pulse Tools and Cobot create unique solution for high torque tightening in colaborative mode!
TBP is range of smart electric tools tightening up to 150 Nm without reaction force!
Cobots are becoming increasingly easier to program and, compared to robots, are more cost effective. So, all-in-all, it's a good way to get into automation.
