Modular joining tool design
The K-Flow 8000 system solution features a modular architecture tailored for high-performance production environments. Standardized core modules and configurable components allow fast adaptation to changing fastener types and accessibility needs. Replaceable wear parts and optional surface protection reduce downtime and support long-term cost efficiency. The system enables late-stage customization and seamless integration into diverse manufacturing setups. Designed for flexibility, durability, and simplified maintenance, it’s a future-ready solution for evolving joining challenges.
K.Motion
The smart process control strategy K.Motion enhances flow drill fastening by detecting the exact moment to switch from high-speed drilling to controlled thread forming. Instead of relying on fixed parameters, it uses live process data to identify the “acceleration peak” for precise transition timing. This adaptive control reduces thread damage, improves joint reliability, and shortens cycle times by up to 200 ms. One flexible program handles varying materials and thicknesses, ensuring consistent quality across diverse applications. With built-in monitoring and fail-safes, K.Motion brings smarter, faster, and more reliable joining to modern manufacturing.
Common Control Platform
The K-Flow 8000 Common Control Platform offers a unified, browser-based interface that simplifies system operation and reduces integration effort. No additional software is needed – users can access the platform from any browser, with intuitive navigation and light/dark mode options. Built-in data protection and compliance with modern machine regulations ensure secure and reliable performance. Its modular software architecture supports easy upgrades and scalability across global production sites. With consistent UI across technologies, it enables faster training and better process transparency.
