Power Focus Platform

Virtual Stations

A virtual Station is a digital version of a controller. It is a key component of our tightening platform. The Virtual Station determines the tool type and functionality supported, protocol support, type of data that is reported and more.

The Virtual Stations’ different levels enable the control and connection of
15 different tool families.

Handheld Tools: OK/NOK Reporting

                

                

Batch Control: Customer critical

Connect clutch tools and click wrenches to Power Focus Platform. Batch license enables OK/NOK traceability for customer critical tightening operations.

Main values:
  • Batch counting ensures correct number of tightenings performed
Supported functionalities
  • 2 programs
  • 2 sequences
  • 4 identifiers
  • Only clutch step

Compatible tools:

  • XCB
  • Third-party tools

                

                     

Joint Control: Quality critical

For tightening applications with a limited number of variants, but where a torque controlled tool is required. Chosen where an air tool is being replaced and better control of the tightening process is needed.
