Tool Tracking to Ensure the Correct Tightening Sequence

1 minu(u)t(en) leestijd April 01, 2026

Modern technologies enable millimeter‑accurate positioning of tightening tools along the production line — with one of the leading approaches being optical systems using infrared light. Our positioning system Industrial Location SpotPoint (ILS), which is based on this technology, guides operators safely and reliably through a wide range of tightening tasks.

 

Dynamic tool tracking in three-dimensional space

The precise positioning system ILS ensures that your tool is always perfectly aligned with the correct screw, that the specified tightening sequence is consistently followed, and that settling effects are reduced to an absolute minimum. This gives your tightening process the highest level of reliability and process security.

 

 

What makes the Industrial Location SpotPoint unique:

  • Positioning accuracy of up to 10 mm, delivering maximum precision for every tightening task
  • Position monitoring using passive tags on the tool, which reflect the sensor’s infrared light
  • Each tightening position is assigned coordinates in three‑dimensional space
  • Dynamic referencing via an additional tag placed directly on the workpiece (optional)
