Highly tool - Import export

The performance of an assembly tool is highly dependent on the conditions of the actual production joint on which it is used, which is where joint kits come in. Joint kits are an essential accessory for accurate off-line testing of powered assembly tools. Tooling engineers are well aware of the "mean shift" term used to describe the different torque delivered by the same tool when applied to a soft or a hard joint as defined by ISO 5393. It is therefore essential in testing and setting up tools off the production line to allow for the joint conditions which the tool will experience on the job. Crane's joint kits satisfy this requirement by using a bolt and suitably configured disc washers allowing free running of the bolt and a subsequent torque gradient to closely match the production joint condition.
