20 June 2018 Smart Tightening? The Solution is electric

In the production field of thermo-hydraulic material components to be tightened, for example valves and pumps, are often of small dimensions and the tightening points are positioned in depth or in extremely reduced spaces.

In these cases, there are numerous critical aspects to take into consideration to ensure precise and continuous assembly operations, so as not to compromise the required production rates, for example in automatic production cycles.

Industry Days Budapest, which took place this year from the 15th to the 18th of May at the Hung Expo Budapest Fair Center, is an international exhibition for industrial technology and automation. This year Delta Robotics, our business partner for Hungary and Romania, was also exhibiting. Delta Robotics exhibited  Fiam solutions for automatic tightening: the EasyDriver MCA auto feed tightening modules.

Who is in charge of the maintenance or of the cost management control knows well how important is the TCO, the “Total Cost of Ownership”, that is the total cost of ownership of a good.

This methodological approach, based on the consideration that the total cost of ownership of an industrial equipment does not only depend on the initial costs of purchase, but also on all the costs that occur during its entire life cycle – including disposal, represents a great method to measure the total costs, by identifying all expenses that may or must be incurred, in clear and measurable terms.

With the occasion of the presentation of eTensil – the new range of electrical screwdrivers designed and produced by Fiam in order to raise the standards of assembly solutions with growing request on the international markets – we have hosted in our headquarters in Vicenza the representatives of twenty partner and distribution companies from the main international markets.

The term “ATEX”, acronym of “Atmosphere” and “Explosive”, groups two European Union directives: one for the certification by users of plants and equipment to guarantee the safety and the health of workers in explosive risk environments; the other to bring up to standard products and equipment intended to be used in explosive risk areas.

At MECSPE debuts eTensil, the newest electrical screwdriver by Fiam: the Made in Italy response to the demand for green and intelligent tools for the modern industry.

Fiam will be present at Win Eurasia from the 15th to the 18th of March 2018 in Tuyap, Istanbul, through its business partner Esa Makine.

In a job market, where the news are continuously reporting the issue of young people looking for better opportunities abroad and, on the other hand, the difficulty that companies meet in finding qualified staff, we consider important to contribute to this project, which helps future generations in being competitive in the job world.

There were about 250 guests, among employees with their families, suppliers, students and citizens who have attended the event and have visited the different areas of the company.
