Increase reliability in the production process
Tensor IxB tools allow us to continue production with maintained process control of the workstation. Even when there is no wireless connection, tools can be managed in radio shadow.
Keep line assembly moving
In a production environment there are often wireless connectivity challenges due to metallic obstacles, interference with other devices and operators blocking the tool antennas. When tools cannot clearly communicate to the production system, there is a high risk that the production line will stop.
Make station assembly trouble-free
The aerospace industry is a tricky place for sustainable cordless connection with lots of closed metal environments and huge facility areas. Usage of wireless tools with controllers is almost impossible without getting into the radio shadow environment, which leads to many challenges.
Tensor IxB tools have been engineered to keep production flowing
Integrated controller
The tools can autonomously run in radio shadow thanks to the powerful integrated controller which can autonomously:
- Control accessories
- Manage tightening programs
- Buffer results data
The controller will also send all the data to the production system, when the connection is restored.
Dual antenna
The Tensor IxB tools have dual antennas to reduce the risk of bad connection due to obstacles or interference with the operator's hands. This together with the buffer battery will maximize wireless connectivity uptime.
Real time Wi-Fi status
Wi-Fi status can be seen on the tool display, to quickly troubleshoot and solve the connection problems. You can also see the real time Wi-Fi status on any devices, including larger screen laptops for deeper investigation.
