TPM monitoring unit

Guided positioning. Find out all the features of the TPM monitoring unit

TPM (Tightening Position Monitor) monitoring unit stores the screwdriver positions and sequences and guides the operator through the tightening operations to ensure that the finished product is assembled in accordance with the defined specifications. It is intended for use with the BT-MG telescopic arm with a position monitoring device and connection cable to make a tightening system for Poka-Yoke processes.

The guided positioning system operates as follows:

• It works through “self-learning”: it locates the screwdriver position at the various tightening points and stores them together with the sequence of actions and the number of screws (up to 35 positions/program and up to 8 programs).
• The TPM unit display offers a graphical system to guide operators progressively as they approach the tightening point.
• The screwdriver is enabled when it is at the first stored position (the TPM display shows POS.OK and the POS-OK LED on the telescopic arm lights).
• Each time a screw is tightened, the REMAIN display shows how many screws are left, indicating that it is ready to pass on to the next screw.
• The END signal comes on when the stored cycle is complete, and gives the OK to proceed with a new work cycle.
