Finding and keeping quality operators (workers) is quite complicated these days. Fluctuation is often high and the pressure to train employees quickly outweighs the time needed for their adaptation.
This places even greater demands on the tightening tools themselves. The aim is to make the behavior of the tools transparent and for each operator to safely understand the evaluation of the tightening operation.
That‘s why at Atlas Copco we‘re constantly bringing new improvements regarding the tool's feedback to the operators. For example, the Tensor ITB-P (a new battery-powered tightening tool) has enhanced display functions as an optional feature. This is integrated directly into the tool as standard and the customer can purchase a software licence for its advanced functions.
This gives the operator an absolute overview of the tightening result, any error messages or the quality of the signal that the tool needs for its wireless communication. The Tensor ITB-P with an advanced display is a flagship in modern manufacturing, where operator satisfaction and quality work also matter.
