The abundance of vehicle variants and equipment options in car manufacturing makes the verification of tightening processes extremely complex. In this context, the reliability and flexibility of residual torque measurements are becoming increasingly important. A smart and durable quality wrench is essential for the regular verification of tightening processes and ensuring stable joints. Our brand-new quality wrench STRwrench Advanced not only meets the especially stringent requirements of automobile production, but also sets new standards in terms of reliability, flexibility, and robust design. 

Do you oversee your daily process checks?

To ensure tightening quality on a daily basis, you need to perform numerous tests, which can be programmed into one or more test routes. In this context, certain guidelines for evaluating and documenting the quality level of tightening processes must be followed. A versatile residual torque wrench makes this work considerably easier by allowing users to carry out rapid and precise residual torque measurements in accordance with high quality standards.

Achieve maximum quality assurance with our new quality wrench STRwrench Advanced

Drawing on decades of market experience and valuable customer feedback, we are proud to present the new generation of our digital quality wrench: STRwrench Advanced. This highly flexible measuring and checking wrench was developed to meet the future requirements of automobile production, ensures maximum process quality in all applications and to minimize the need for reworking.


Tightening data analyses on an extra-large, robust display

The STRwrench Advanced is a quality wrench offering outstanding flexibility in use and data presentation. The wrench is equipped with several quality strategies, ensuring secure tightening processes and full control with a view to improving production quality.

 

A notable highlight of the STRwrench Advanced is its generously sized display, which provides all the information needed for dynamic evaluation in a clear and concise way. The graphic presentation of tightening curves allows users to carry out a detailed analysis directly at the joint. This way, data-based decisions can be taken fast. In view of the increasing complexity and speed of production lines, this is a huge benefit.

 

Unparalleled robustness: Thanks to its unique, robust design, the STRwrench Advanced is a reliable, durable tool for quality assurance. It effectively withstands the demanding conditions of everyday production work and is a worthwhile investment for the future.

Unprecedented flexibility and durability

The STRwrench Advanced has a patented algorithm for calculating residual torque levels. The easy to replace adapters, the so-called smartHEADs, ensure unique modularity. This enables the quality wrench to cover a wide torque range and to reach different lengths. In addition, the display can be rotated in 90° steps. These special features make the STRwrench Advanced extremely versatile and flexible, allowing reliable inspection, even on joints that are difficult to reach.


Do you need to carry out numerous tests every day? With the STRwrench Advanced, that's no problem. Thanks to its multi-routing function, you can program the quality wrench for up to 100 test routes, improving the efficiency of test processes.

Seamless integration in existing systems

The STRwrench Advanced is a key element in a holistic, efficient quality assurance system. Thanks to an integrated interface, the tool can easily be connected with third-party quality management systems such as QS-Torque. This ensures compliance with the strict requirements for traceability and data reporting and the automated performance of routines, inspections, and statistical analyses.
