When Tool Failure is Not an Option Managing the Assembly Sequence with Wireless Torque Tools

We’ve kept the world working for more than 75 years From the depths of the ocean to outer space, from racetracks to manufacturing plants, Sturtevant Richmont is working in every tough environment where tool failure is not an option. In 1924, Walter P. Chrysler licensed Paul Sturtevant to manufacture and sell Chrysler’s newly invented torque wrench. That was the start of the torque tool and error proofing industry. Since then, Sturtevant Richmont has been the first name in torque tools and systems. We got there by investing millions to bring you the most innovative and dependable products on the...

Sturtevant Richmont tools: The quality, durability, and accuracy you’ve come to expect Innovation is in our DNA Wireless technology revolutionized the workplace. Sturtevant Richmont was at the forefront of innovations that helped to shape the assembly process as we know it today. While industry bloggers were predicting wireless RF tools, Sturtevant Richmont was patenting and launching them. Sturtevant Richmont torque process monitors guide workers, validate work performed, and provide the same data you get from wired systems. We’re the experts in radio-equipped tools that communicate with a 21st...

Left to Right: Don Reynertson VP Sales Ray Reynertson, Chairman and CEO John Reynertson, Chief Operating Officer What Are Wireless Torque Assembly Systems? Over the last 100 years the biggest assembly challenge has been having workers follow the designated sequence and validating the job was done properly. That challenge is easier using electric tools. Although a less expensive option, turning a wrench and tugging a cable at the same time is neither efficient nor ergonomic for the user. Cables get damaged and the tool doesn’t work. There are safety factors as well. Because hand tools aren’t attached...

Interchangeable Head System We set the bar for quality, standards, and compliance in everything we do: • First certified in 1994 • First US torque tool manufacturer to be ISO 9001:2008 Certified • ISO/IEC 17025:2005 Certified • A2LA Reference Lab • First US torque tool company to be RoHS compliant Quick Change • All heads are one piece cast and fit on all of our wrenches Richmont founder Frank Livermont was awarded the first patent on interchangeable heads for wrenches in 1958. Our patented interchangeable head system is easy to use, durable, and safe. The dovetail wrenches now come with two...

Global 400, Global 8-Ethernet and Global 8 Our process monitors provide clear communication of tightening and process status to the operator and update your system information with every torque event. Manage up to 16 appilcation tools and 8 hold and drive tools with the Global 8-Ethernet and Global 8 in any combination of PST 2000-equipped air tools, 1100-Series Exacta 2, and 2.4 GHz SLTC-FM preset torque wrenches. Scan or click this code to watch an overview of the Global 400 Whether your line uses Ethernet communications or 24 VDC systems, there is a Global series of torque process monitors...

The Global 400 Architecture Information The Global 400 takes a giant leap into being a station dedicated product that organizes, directs, controls, multiple types of tools, and the people within the work cell. It also brings a powerful networking capability not previously available in the Global 8 and the Global 400. Benefits: • Less rework and lower warranty costs to increase profits. • Increased throughput and increased productivity. • Very short ramp up time so training costs are very small. • Pairing tools with a Global 400 is as easy as providing power to the tool. To get more information...

The Global 8 Series Features: • Up to eight (8) torque tools controlled in any combination • Integrates 1100-Series Exacta® 2 Digital Torque Wrenches • Integrates PST 2000 Pressure Sensor/Transceiver for ported pulse tools • Integrates 2.4 GHz Wireless Preset Torque Wrenches • Manages and communicates variable torque data • Manages and communicates attribute torque data Global 8 process monitorss work with up to eight PST 2000-equipped ported pulse tools, 1100-Series Exacta® 2 digital torque wrenches, 2.4 GHz preset torque wrenches — in any combination. A large and readily visible display ensures...

Understanding the Global Series Process Monitors In addition to all the standard features, each Global 8 variation has it’s own special capabilities. The Global 8 and Global 400 process monitors provide a variety of solutions for workstation efficiency and control for hand tools. Need to connect with your MES via Ethernet? Making highly complex assemblies can be difficult. Having to customize those assemblies makes it more challenging. How do you error proof those processes while using hand tools? Tools are paired with the process monitor and matched to a parameter. When that parameter is active...

1100-Series Exacta® 2 Digital Torque Wrench 2.4 GHz Wireless Clicker-Type Preset Torque Wrenches The 1100-Series Exacta 2 torque wrench incorporates everything you could ask for into a single, easily programmed, and user-friendly package. The SLTC-FM 2.4 GHz family of tools is based on the proven Sturtevant Richmont lineup of preset torque wrenches. These solid performers are the backbone of error-proof torque application for many leading manufacturers. Features: • +/- 1% indicated value accuracy from 20% to 100% of capacity in both CW and CCW directions • Selectable peak and residual torque...

SLTC-Series Hardwired Preset Torque Wrenches The PST 2000 works with ported auto-shutoff tools to create a profile of the air pressure over time during rundown and shutoff. The profile for a known conforming rundown and tightening is stored on the PST 2000, and all subsequent uses are compared to the profile. Conforming tightenings result in immediate feedback to the operator via an LED display, transmission to the Global Process Monitor, and confirmation on the display and LED’s on the Process Monitor unit. Your PLC and our SLTC-Series hard-wired wrenches offer you both control and flexibility...
