The benefits of a process under real control
TPU C1 and TPU C3 control units
eTensil electric solutions with torque/angle current control, to be used with TPU C1 and TPU C3 control units.
Sophisticated controllers entirely designed and produced by Fiam, provide numeroususeful features.
Fast, simple and intuitive programming to correctly manage and control your tightening process and make it indeed reliable.
SOME OF THE USEFUL FUNCTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT OF THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS
- Automatic recognition of the connected tool and configuration, so operators cannot make initial setup errors
- Displaying tightening outcome OK/NOK (TPU-C1) and torque value (TPU-C3) together with the tightening time. With TPU-C3 model, also angle value displaying
- Setting tightening torque value in Nm
- Screws counting (Poka Yoke method)
- Detection process anomalies: e.g.stripped threads or screws already tightened
- Storing up to 99 tightening operations
- Communication with PLC or other devices and remote control
- Solving of critical joints: by angle control/monitoring, TPU-C3 can detect the presence of sealings or other elements which can influence the joint elasticity
THE ADVANTAGES OF SMART PRO EVO PROGRAMMING
“Smart Pro Evo” programming also provides other important features. Fabrizio Ravaglia, Sales Engineer at Fiam illustrates them in the short video:
- Parametrisation of the tool tightening speed for a better screw engagement or set the tool speed
- Set untightening angle and pause time between untightening and the subsequent tightening: important plus for electrical/electronic field, for example when inserting wires into connectors that must be untightened and then tightened again
- Tighten threaded components with height-based rather than torque-based shut-off.
