Smooth assembly could be in your future

Our Tensor IxB offering includes three revolutionary solutions to choose from based on your specific needs. The family of cordless assembly tools consists of:

• Tensor ITB-P
• Tensor ITB-A
• Tensor ICB

This offering is designed to provide advanced productivity and quality on the line, but each tool has its strengths and weaknesses depending on the application. For this article, we will dive into the impressive features of Tensor ICB, but you can learn more about all the IxB solutions here.

Manufacturing in cramped spaces requires small ergonomic tooling solutions that are capable of reaching your desired torque. With the Tensor ICB, you can do just that! It’s a small, ergonomic, cordless assembly tool specifically designed for space-limited applications. It also features:

• A 360° rotatable angle head and trigger.
• Superior ergonomics: it’s 30% lighter and 30% shorter than the previous generation of battery tools.
• Operator feedback from the integrated eHMI display.
• Reduced operator influence on the angle of the tightening with TrueAngle, an advanced tightening strategy that utilizes a built-in gyroscope.

Due to Tensor ICB’s capabilities, we introduced it to one of our customers, an automotive and tiers manufacturer. At the time, they were using pneumatic tools to fasten bolts, causing excess scrap and rework due to cross-threading. By incorporating a smart assembly solution into their assembly, their operators can begin to catch errors in real-time and correct them before they become a bigger problem.

In addition to catching errors, the impressive ergonomics of the ICB tool would also help to improve quality on the line. Since the ICB is both ergonomic and compact, it could reach applications with less strain on the operator, enabling easier manufacturing and setting their operators up for success.

We provide the expert tools and solutions that will make a huge impact on your assembly. In this case, the Tensor ICB was able to optimize our customer’s assembly, providing them with improved productivity, quality, and ergonomics.

Are your operators navigating cramped spaces during assembly? Then the Tensor ICB may be the perfect solution for you! Contact our experts today to learn more and to schedule a demo.
