Force & torque monitoring solution

Monitored joining processes - ensuring 100% quality through accuracy and reliability

Monitoring and controlling the joining process of components is essential for industrial processes in automotive, consumer goods, medical devices, packaging, and electronics manufacturing. Well-founded monitoring enables early detection of product defects, helping to filter out faulty parts and avoid unnecessary downstream operations, ensuring that 100% of shipped products meet quality standards.

Monitoring of manual press processes

High-precision and highly reliable measurement technology is a key factor in ensuring quality for assembled and pressed products using manual presses. We provide force sensors that can be mounted on existing presses without affecting the function of the press.

Advantages:

• Sequential programmed steps
• Sensors with overload protection
• Wide measuring range
• Easy installation

Clinching processes

Clinching is used to create a strong connection between two metal layers without requiring an additional fastener. Integrating force-displacement or force-time monitoring helps provide comprehensive supervision of the clinching process. All production data can be measured, visualized, and stored.

Advantages:

• Piezoelectric sensor technology enables flexible application
• The solution is integrated for measurement directly in the process
• Sensors with overload protection
• Convenient integration into existing customer machines

Welding processes

Monitoring is essential to ensure high-quality welds. Our sensors can be mounted flexibly - on the welding arm, at the connection point between the welding arm and the motor, or directly on the motor of the welding gun.

Advantages:

• The welding process is continuously controlled by highly accurate force sensors
• Manual inspection or automatic calibration directly in the production process
• Sensors suitable for both dynamic and quasi-static processes
• Sensors are unaffected by electrical or magnetic interference
• Sensors can operate in high-temperature environments

Assembly processes

Traditional techniques such as press-fit insertion into printed circuit boards play an important role in assembly technologies. In this case, pin contacts are inserted directly into the PCB to create a connection. To ensure cycle time requirements, the monitoring system for this process must also meet dynamic measurement requirements. Our piezoelectric sensors and controllers make monitoring much easier. Defective products are rejected, and production data becomes more transparent.

Advantages:

• Suitable for fast measurement processes
• Speed of up to 20 measurements per second
• Easy measurement program configuration
• Extremely flexible

Product joining processes

Our monitoring systems can be used with hydraulic presses, pneumatic presses, and electric presses. Based on the force-displacement curve, the quality of pressed products can be ensured. Typical applications include bearing press-fitting and gear mounting onto drive shafts.

Advantages:

• Direct measurement
• Integrated evaluation function
• High flexibility, suitable for existing customer machines
• Data traceability
