Design to Load
Improve efficiency, performance, and reliability by eliminating the need to over engineer bolted joints to compensate for torque tightening variations. i-Bolt® Fastening Systems provide ±3% load measurement accuracy – that’s 10 times more accurate that standard torque tightening!
Tighten to Load
Eliminate fastener fatigue, vibration loosening and joint leakage by assembling to the designed clamp load.
Assembly Process Confidence
IMPROVE ACCURACY
Real-time load measurement during tightening. Bolt installation direct to load with ±3% accuracy.
REDUCE COSTS
Eliminate large torque tightening variations and secondary retorquing operations.
OPTIMIZE PROCESS
Use faster tools during assembly process with aurtomatic load control. The tool is stopped when target load is achieved.
USE ALL TOOLS
All existing hand and powered production assembly tools can be adapted for ultrasonic load measurement.
Inspect to Load
Optimize inspection process by eliminating unnecessary operations and automatically tracking inspection data.
Post-assembly Assurance
REDUCE COSTS
Eliminate unnecessary torque checks, disassembly and reassembly.
SAVE TIME
Accurate post-assembly inspection in less than 2 seconds per bolt.
TRACEABILITY
Unique identification and traceability of each fastener. Complete data log of inspection history.
CONTINUOUS MONITORING
Continuous /periodic monitoring of critical joints during operation.
