Hydro-pneumatic rivet gun TAURUS® 1-4 C

with setting process monitoring

TAURUS® C (with setting process monitoring) TAURUS® versions GESIPA®-Interface The new interface developed by GESIPA® is based on an embedded PC system and provides 24 digital in and out control system ports, Ethernet connection via a RJ45 connector as well as status LEDs. Connection ports for a protocol converter supporting all common bus systems and for external storage media as well as a USB port for fast data transfer complete the features of the new interface. In addition, the GESIPA® interface has a process database for storing 250,000 of the most current process data (date, time, rivet position, process curve, analysis, etc.). Setting process monitoring is achieved by direct online analysis of traction force and traction course recorded during the setting of the rivet. All system components necessary for this operation are integrated in the tools. Analysing a setting process takes less than 1 μs.The results are directly shown by a green or red LED installed in the tool base and optionally by an acoustic signal. In addition to this individual analysis the system also provides collective analysis for the complete workpiece. The tool stores more than 260,000 setting process data which can be retrieved at any time. The system also identifi es failure patterns and memorizes them for failure analysis and troubleshooting. The tools can be operated as stand-alone devices or as integrated part of a customer´s production system via the GESIPA® interface. TAURUS
