AIMCO’s brushless Magnetostrictive Torque Transducer consists of an Anvil and a pair of sensor coils. Without contacting the Anvil, the sensor coil detects load to the Anvil (non-contact). The grooves in the Anvil are provided at a 45 degree angle in one region. When torque is applied to the Anvil, tensile stress appears on the region and magnet permeability increases. These permeability changes are detected, respectively transformed to the voltage change (proportional to applied torque) and converted to torque signals to control the tool.

Their inline series features torque ranges of 5NM – 600NMand their pistol tools offer 6.8NM – 400NM. For data collection and line integration, pair these tools with a touch screen controller equipped with your plants protocol.

Reducing the torque reaction in your fastening process doesn't have to be complicated. Control and ergonomics not compromise - that is what the QX ETS is all about. The QX ETS offers all the capabilities found in the QX Series™ platform, without the torque reaction.

SIMPLE SETUP: In addition to standard direct drive mode, each tool configuration can be independently programmed to utilize one of the three available single-parameter ETS modes, simplifying setup.

ERGONOMIC MODE: Lowest energy pulses; ideal for hard joints or when arm, wrist or tool angles are most difficult.

PERFORMANCE MODE: Medium energy pulses; is the best all-purpose mode.

PRODUCTIVITY MODE: Highest energy pulses, is the fastest mode. Ideal for soft joints or when high production rates are required.

  • Ergonomically enhanced motor control algorithm significantly reduces the average force experienced by the operator during the tightening process
  • Red tool highlights provide clear indication of ETS tool identity vs standard QX tool
  • Continuously flashing blue light above keypad provides operator assurance that ETS is ACTIVE
  • All the capability of the QX platform, without the torque reaction from 1.6 NM – 80 NM
  • Common software and battery platform for simple integration
  • QXN, QXC and QXX versions available in pistol grip, low torque angle and high torque angle
  • Onboard ‘pulse’ counter supports proper optimization and application of ETS tools on ideal applications (10 pulses or less per cycle)

AIMCO HT Series and IR Qx Multiplier

When controlling turn torque on large diameter bolts, it is very challenging to find tools that are designed to do this task. AIMCO’s HT Series was specially designed for high volume applications with high torque requirements. This transducer-controlled series was designed to control up to 15,000 NM of torque, making AIMCO the industry leader in transducer controlled high torque tooling. IR’s Qx Multiplier gives a great battery-operated solution in both Pistol and Right-Angle Configurations.

Custom Shadow Boards

Lean Manufacturing with Custom Shadow Boards

Disorganized workspace and critical assembly tasks with overwhelming hardware both present challenges to manufacturers. A cluttered workspace can lead to bottlenecks and time loss, when tools and other equipment is difficult to find. Assembly tasks that have critical steps or large quantities of hardware can lead to missed screws, nuts, bolts and other components. OSAAP Shadow Boards provides the solution to both challenges with their custom shadow boards. Custom designed shadow boards allow you to keep track of your tools and process with a clean and simple process. 6S Lean has become a vital practice for manufactures and service industries alike, read more below about how OSAAP Shadow Boards can improve your workflow process.

War on Hammers

War on Hammers

Despite being inherently dangerous, many manufactures must rely on hammers to install products like caps, pins, bearings, bushings and many other parts of all geometry. Hydraulics can cost a fortune and most of the time create a bottleneck that disrupts your workflow, making swinging hammers a necessary evil. AEHH has a solution by using low vibration air tools and custom designed end tooling. Honsa Ergonomic Technologies have realized this market and reacted by adding in house design, machining and heat-treating capabilities. Small plastic parts? Large Steel Pins? No Problem! We have solutions for the most delicate jobs to parts that weigh over 100 lbs.

Benefits of Eliminating Hammers

Before and After

AEHH has been blessed to be allowed to document a small handful of jobs that we have completed over the years. The below gives an example of how broad the War on Hammers is and how creativity is often applied when implementing this innovative technology.

Die Insert Installation

Die Insert Installation

Die Insert Installation

When installing inserts into die cavities, using brass cylinders is a very common method but often can result in hand, arm and back injury. AEHH has pioneered a pneumatic driving solution that will help keep your workers from experiencing these injuries that result from the repetitive process of die repair.

Bushing Installation

Bushing Installation

Shown above, a heavy construction equipment manufacture experienced great benefit from using the Honsa low vibration air tool with a custom driver by eliminating repetitive motion injuries and improving the overall cycle time vs using a hand and hammer installation method.

End Cap Installation

End Cap Installation

When required to install an end cap each minute, this fireplace manufacture turned to AEHH to provide a solution that keeps their operator from swinging a hammer. The square geometry allows the operator to quickly locate and align the cap without slowing down their cycle time.

Cam Bearing Removal

Cam Bearing Removal

Cam Bearing Removal

When removing over hundreds of cam bearings daily, this engine remanufacture uses Honsa’s low vibration air hammer with a custom punch in replacement their manual hand and hammer method. Using the Honsa’s tool protects the operator’s hands from becoming tingling or numb due to vibration and shock caused by the air hammer.

Die Insert Removal

The above application improved the safety and control during the removal an insert for a midwestern die cast manufacture. When swinging the hammer, it takes 10 to 20 seconds to drive each rod but when using the Honsa solution it takes 3-5 seconds per rod.
