Relieve the employees and increase the throughput (efficiency).

In an assembly hall. A skilled worker on the assembly line screws boltss into the workpieces. While he “blindly” tightens one bolt with his cordless screwdriver with the tightening torque according to the drawing, he is already reaching for the next screw.

Nothing can go wrong, because the Bossard SmartTool, which was configured using the SmartTool Manager app, ensures maximum process reliability. Two pistol and eight angle screwdrivers, one setting tool for blind rivet nuts and one setting tool for blind rivets in this series are available with WLAN and an optional scanner in an elegant black and gray design.

Stefan Landthaler, one of our experts and our Business Development Manager, refers to the wide range of Bossard SmartTools with which we complement our extensive product range of screws, blind rivets and blind rivet nuts with battery processing tools:

"From the standard product to the high-end version - our customers receive an economical and process-oriented tool without the influence of the "human factor" including a counting function and documentation of over 150,000 assembly processes."

Depending on requirements, there are different, suitable models for the series:

• Rivet Nut Technology 25 - for blind rivet nuts, screws
  
• Riveting Technology 20 - for blind rivets and lockbolts
  
• Tightening Technology (Angle/Pistol) - for screws of all kinds (hard, soft screw cases)

All models have fully automatic production data acquisition, 99 screwing programs that can be called up using a scanner - plus three additional "foreign" codes such as employee, batch number or product.

Digitization 4.0. in practice: Tool Manager App

According to Landthaler, these are among the unique selling points of Bossard cordless tools

• the free, multilingual tool manager app that can be used on multiple PCs without installation

• the stepless speed profile setting
  
• a vibration alarm in the handle for not OK info
  
• a real time clock with date
  
• an adjustable start ramp, Schs step programming, recuperation in ECO mode, high-precision angle measurement, status LED and more

Easy settings and online support

In order to adjust the tool to the desired process, no time-consuming training is necessary, online support is possible "just in time" during working hours. In general, the tool works independently and does not require an additional controller.

Very important, according to the Business Development Manager, is the "error-free design of the process parameters, since these are determined empirically using the measurement curve or setting curve of the components to be connected": E.g

• at what rotational speed does a plastic begin to become plastic/soft

• what torque must the rotational speed be reduced in order not to "overshoot" the specified tightening torque

• what torque [Nm] will the screw connection fail etc.

Once the process parameters have been defined and implemented economically, according to Landthaler, the process monitoring minimizes the "human error factor", which means: The Bossard SmartTool ensures that the screw has the right pitch, the blind rivet nut is made of the right material, the Clamping range when setting a blind rivet nut, the screw length fits and many more.

Increase product quality, make production more profitable

“There is almost nothing that Bossard SmartTools cannot do. First and foremost, however, people are relieved for an entire shift and throughput and efficiency are increased in production.

A 100 percent process control "just in time" increases the product quality many times over. The number of defective parts is significantly reduced, which makes the product more competitive and production more profitable - and turns the customer into a loyal companion in the future. Landthaler: "This is how a product becomes a brand!"
