Why do you need a new bolt tensioning solution?
Until now, the bolt tensioning process has been dependent on equipment and operators efficency and skills. STS is the first truly smart bolt tensioning system which enables production and service companies to trace the tensioning process completed on critical applications.
What is the new solution?
Atlas Copco's new smart tensioning sytem combines the power of conventional tensioners with smartness to obtain data of the process and final results. The system will completely guide the operator on how to complete the process with accuracy, ultimately reducing errors and rework, and can reduce the process time by upto 50%.
How can it benefit your business?
Integrating the STS into your tightening process gives you the reliability that the work done, either by your team or third party operators, is being completed safely and accurately. This is acheived by analyzing the data captured from every step of the bolt tensioning process. Giving you an oppurtunity to improve or plan your operations in a better way.
