Optimizing assembly by mouse click
Practical entry into the complex world of screwdriving technology and automation
The new DEPRAG Website answers all questions about assembly technology
The engineer Peter Feldmeier (Dipl.Ing. (FH)) is studying the construction plans. He looks once more at the specification of the assembly equipment for which the medium-sized engineering office IBF has secured the order for project planning and construction. For production start-up, a process-safe manual workstation will do, he thinks. Later when the volume of production increases, partially or fully automated assembly equipment will be recommended. But what he needs now is detailed information and an informed introduction to screwdriving and assembly technology. Best would be information from one source is clear, concise and understandable. He thinks that the Internet would be a good source for information. This should result in consultation with a competent equipment manufacturer.
Peter Feldmeier sighs. He thinks of surfing for hours and hours in the Internet to find answers to his many questions about the application he is planning and starts googling. DEPRAG SCHULZ GMBH u. CO. is known to him as a screwdriving and automation expert and competent full service provider. He enters the name of this machine builder and is thus introduced to a modern very clear and optically attractive website. The website is subdivided into Screwdriving Technology and Automation, Air Motors, Industrial Tools and Green Energy, through all of which DEPRAG made its name in the marketplace.
With just one mouse click Peter Feldmeier, whose company IBF in Amberg Bavaria has five employees, enters the complex world of screwdriving technology. In most assembly cases, assembly components must be screwed together in such a way that they cannot be displaced by externally applied forces and that they behave like one single component. The known force is called pretension force. This force must be sufficient to keep the assembly together without damaging the screws and the component by overstress. The designer knows this problems which result from unknown settings and from vibrations during assembly. How to use torque and angular displacement as indirect measuring parameters to achieve a very precise screwing result is comprehensively detailed on the website.
