PRODUCT FOCUS
the 766 allows the manufacturer to track all tightenings
done there, too. "
The Manoskop 766 Daptiq even has the ability to
read fastener tightening data automatically for logging
purposes. The tool can archive those details
in the company's subsystems. This allows for faster,
more efficient processes and can verify how the fasteners
have been manipulated. The receiver station
is able to process data from several Manoskop 766
Daptiqs at the same time.
Another feature the tool has is the ability to
configure itself for the next fastener. The tool can
instruct the end-user how to tighten a specific piece
of equipment.
" The mechanics using the 766 do not have to change
the setting by themselves, " Mertens explained. " This
is done by a computer system. If there is a sequence
of let's say 10 bolts - two with 10 inch/lbs., two with
25 inch/lbs. and six with 30 inch/lbs. - and they are
tightened one after the other, the mechanic only has
to do the operation and not to set each value. This is
done automatically. "
Eyes on the Future
The tool is also virtually wear-free, meaning it
has a long service time. Mertens attributes this to
Stahlwille's long and impressive track record in the
tool manufacturing business.
" We are an old German tool manufacturer that
has been around since 1862, " he said. " In the beginning,
that was processing steel to a perfect hand tool
and also manual torque wrenches with outstanding
made-in-Germany quality. "
He noted, since the beginning of Industry 4.0,
there has been more emphasis put on checking every
bolt and connection before a plane is returned to
service. Stahwille developed the product, " to allow
our customers to increase their product quality in
terms of 'all bolts and connections are tightened
with their specific tightening value' and allow them
to have a digital twin of all products processed within
the 766, " Mertens said. " We think this is the way
forward. "
