  • In the event of faulty tightening, the system automatically applies pre-programmed corrective action scenarios: NOK Action Process.
  • Advanced tightening strategies are provided to manage complex applications.
  • Same CONNECT platform solution as the quality control tools for optimal management.

Halt unplanned line stoppage

  • Tackle tough environments such as vibration, heat, wetness, and dust on any torque level and related duty cycle time.
  • Be prepared for any part replacement as it can be restarted in 30 seconds.
  • Quickly identify the root cause and stop on the line using the CONNECT maintenance user interface.
