TOOL POSITION SYSTEM (TPS) PROVIDES ERROR PROOFING FOR ASSEMBLY OF THREADED FASTENERS

Feb. 21, 2008
The Tool Position System (TPS) from Stanley Assembly Technologies uses position monitoring technology to monitor an assembly tool location and set specific control parameters for each fastener. TPS is available for articulating arms, from 10 Nm – 4000 Nm. A sequence of xyz fastener positions can be programmed to ensure assembly to specifications. A socket tray option enables different bolt sizes in a sequence. "Stanley Assembly's Tool Position System, when used with a Stanley articulating arm, makes production more accurate and your operator more efficient by allowing the setup of sequential assembly operations," stated Joe Haluska, Manager, Systems & Service at Stanley Assembly Technologies. "Each fastener's unique specification is set up and secured using the Stanley QPM Controller." The TPS Features Include:Color Touch Screen Panel HMI Available in 5" or 10" Sizes PLC with Built-In Power Supply Interface to Auxiliary Devices Storage of Up to 50 Unique Part Patterns Simple to Use "Teach Mode" for Position, Parameter, Socket Position and Tolerance Band. Stanley Assembly Technologies' Engineered Systems Group is committed to improving ergonomics and accuracy in assembly operations.
