The CVIC is therefore the natural solution for any critical assembly task.

RELIABILITY AND QUALITY OF TIGHTENING

The quality of each tightening is assessed in an “ACCEPT/REJECT” report shown by LEDs on the tool, on the CVIC display and
via “relay” contacts. The control of the assembly station by the CVIC eliminates the risk of delivering non conforming parts, (tighte-

Besides, the problems of reliability of the tightening posed by the use of pneumatic power tools are solved with the use of electric

The ultra-quick motor braking allows for high working speeds and contributes to reducing cycle time. The perfect control of servo-

The standard measuring line consists of a torque transducer connected to the tool and a measuring unit of the new DELTA4000
generation to control the tool associated to the CVIC.
The results of the standard measuring line are automatically compared with the results of the tool over the entire torque range to
set up a conversion table between the actual torque and the electric power consumption.
This linearisation table is memorised in the tool. It allows you to use the tool over its entire torque range with no need to readjust
the torque tuning coefficient.
