SPS - Socket Programme Selector

SPS: control and reliability into fastening strategies

New poka yoke device for selection of fastening program by picking up of sockets/bits to be used for different applications. It can work together with Fiam units TCS1, TCS3, TCS-B and TOC. It allows the selection of up to 8 sockets or bits (with diameter up to 80 mm) and checks correspondence between socket and pre-set tightening program as indicated from linked controller. Selection LEDs and socket pick-up acoustic signal (buzz): each socket spot is indeed connected to a particular program in the controller so that, when the worker picks one socket the controller is automatically set in accordance. In particular using TCS3 controller the operator can carry out a correct tightening sequence by picking-up the socket indicated from lightened LED in the SPS.
