The system is based on the following configuration:

  • Torque & Angle tightening spindle with full scale sized for the torque required by the stud with a 30 mm compensator
  • 3/8” square drive.
  • SOFCA tightening control system capable of managing all Torque & Angle parameters and the appropriate stud tightening strategy.
  • Movement in controlled steps both clockwise and counterclockwise.
  • Bushing dedicated to the stud complete with incorporated mechanical device, to facilitate and make the grip and release of the stud more flexible.
  • The system can be interfaced with a PLC, CNC, or other equipment to control the entire production process.

In the specific case of the photo, we are talking about a 18 Nm Full Scale Stud Screwdriver for manual bench assembly.
SOFCA has also carried out completely automatic applications using: Translation portal with movement of the tightening spindle. Automatic selection of studs by a vibrating selector. Taking the stud directly from the stud selector. Transport via the special insert from the sorting station to the component on which the stud has to be screwed.
