Protagonists in Lyon as specialists in tightening automation

The Smart Thread feature offered by electrical solutions is the key to solving them. Assembling different materials by screwing may seem a simple operation, but it is not.

Our customer Despol TM, a Polish system integrator, is a supplier of robotised production solutions, specifically collaborative ROBOTS, and uses Fiam technology when its machines must perform assembly using threaded components.

These two very useful functions provided by Smart Pro EVO programming in eTensil screwdrivers can be enabled/disabled and offer the following technical capabilities: adjusting the number of untightening turns, the untightening angle and the pause time between tightening/untightening phases.

This is what happened with Kosma Srl, a company that makes industrial production systems and chooses FIAM whenever their machines have tightening processes, a winning Italian partnership. Specifically, Kosma srl produces machinery for building, handling, assembling, testing and packaging any kind of product.

For some time the Fiam team has had a PM to deal exclusively with the air motor range. Together with him, we will try to understand what benefits customers have seen in interfacing with this new figure who plays an increasingly key Product/Service role in companies.

SamuExpo is an interesting biennial event, which  this year is held in Pordenone, from 06 to 08 February, and attracts an increasing number of visitors each year.  The exhibition is divided into four thematic areas:

• SamuMetal: dedicated to metal working tools and technologies
• SamuPlast: for plastic technologies, machines and materials
• Subtech: related to components and mechanics
• Digitaldays: covering digital company culture, innovation and Industry 4.0.

The machinery for the production in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry have characteristics that involve the use of specific and often customized components such as for example the motors that are inserted on them to perform different types of drives and in any condition of use.
The focus here is dedicated to these devices and specifically to those with pneumatic technology, that are used precisely because of their peculiar characteristics.

From 5 to 6 June 2019, Fiam will be exhibiting at the AEE Automotive Engineering Expo in Nuremberg: the only interactive show in the world focusing on the whole Automotive sector manufacturing process, especially on the car body process chain, from design through to assembly and final painting.

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.
