Accessories for ergonomic workplace

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Ergonomics in the workplace is crucial for enhancing both worker efficiency and well-being. An ergonomic workstation integrates physical, cognitive, and organizational ergonomics to boost productivity and product quality.
Key Ergonomic Factors
  • Mental Fatigue: Continuous machine supervision can cause mental fatigue.
  • Advanced Tool Management: Modern electric tools require complex programming.
  • Variable Operating Flows: Diverse workflows necessitate operational flexibility.
  • Organizational Capacity: Mental activity is vital for work organization.
  • Finding Information: Constantly searching for operational information demands effort.
Collaborations and Services
Fiam collaborates with Certified European Ergonomists and Occupational Doctors to develop ergonomic solutions. Services include noise and vibration measurement, workplace analysis, and verification of operating methods.
New Generation Tools
Modern tools are designed to reduce fatigue and improve working conditions. Selection should be based on joint type, screws, operator's position, and production flows.
Choice of Accessories
Accessories like Poka Yoke systems and reaction arms enhance productivity and ergonomics. Selection should consider tool type, workplace dimensions, and workpiece size.
Workstation Design
Tools and accessories should be arranged logically to allow comfortable work without awkward positions.
Monitoring Activities
Observing tool usage and promoting training is essential for optimal working conditions.

Universal Clamps and Anti-Rotation Devices
Universal clamps and anti-rotation devices are designed for use with BC/BCA arms and eTensil pistol screwdrivers. They enhance installation and operational efficiency by preventing unwanted rotation and ensuring proper tool alignment. Specific codes are provided for different models and configurations.
Extended Stroke and Double Boom Devices
These devices are available for BC25 and BC40 models, offering extended stroke capabilities to accommodate various operational needs. They are essential for enhancing the reach and flexibility of the Cartesian arms.
Grips and Rotary Clamps for CA Auto Feed Screwdrivers
Grips and rotary clamps are designed to improve ergonomics and operational efficiency when using CA auto feed screwdrivers. They allow for proper tool positioning and rotation, reducing operator fatigue and enhancing precision.
Collar Brackets for eTensil and Air Screwdrivers
Collar brackets are essential for securely mounting eTensil and air screwdrivers onto Cartesian arms. They ensure tool stability and prevent damage during operation. Different models are available for various screwdriver types and configurations.
Poka Yoke Systems
Poka Yoke systems are designed to prevent errors during the assembly process by identifying mistakes early and minimizing waste. These systems enhance operational efficiency and reduce the need for constant supervision, allowing operators to focus on more strategic tasks.
TOM Monitoring Unit
The TOM monitoring unit ensures high-quality assembly by detecting errors such as forgotten or improperly tightened screws. It can be integrated with various systems to halt production or change components, aiming to eliminate errors and reduce costs.
TPU-M1 and TPU-C1 Monitoring Units
These units manage the functions of eTensil electric screwdrivers, providing features like LED indicators, screw counting, and process anomaly detection. They support multiple tightening strategies and allow for remote management, enhancing the overall efficiency and ergonomics of the work environment.

Ergonomics improves workers’ work and well-being. There is a big difference between working and working well. A workstation based on an ergonomic approach serves to improve both the efficiency and well-being of peoples. Safe and orderly work lines have a positive effect on operability, but also on physical and mental health. It is not enough just to provide operators with tools that prevent any physical fatigue, are not very noisy and keep working environments healthy. Nor is it enough to arrange the components to be assembled comfortably, conveniently and correctly on the work bench. It is necessary...

The 4 factors that make a workstation an ergonomic workstation. 1. New generation tools The latest tools reduce fatigue, precisely because they are designed to reduce effort and improve working conditions. The tools must be chosen according to the type of joint, of screws, of operator’s position at workplace (sitting or standing) but also based on flows production and their variability. 2. Choice of accessories Poka Yoke systems, screw or component feed systems and reaction arms improve productivity as well as physical, organizational and cognitive ergonomics. TAccessories must be chosen according...
