Improvement of working conditions for heavy nutsetting systems

Objective

Nut setting systems are often used in automotive and machinery industry. Systems for tighten M 16 - M 30 screws are heavy, difficult to operate and have a high risk of injuries. The main RTD goals can be described as followed:
1. Installation of an ergonomic workplace with the benefits of reduced illness of the operator and accident rate.
2. A process controlled screwing system with secure screw connections. The result of a controlled screwing is the application of smaller screws with a lower tightening torque, reduced wall thickness of the screw connections and consequently a lighter design of machinery parts.3. Low weight design for the nut setting system using lighter or higher strength materials for the torque transmission and the body of the system.
