TorqueGuardian™: Torque Intelligence for every Fastener

TorqueGuardian™ automates how you monitor, control, and optimize your critical torque fastening operations on the production floor. It supports the Kolver K-ducer torque wrench family with capabilities that go beyond basic quality control. Every fastener under torque control is now tracked, with comprehensive torque curve data stored for each screw. Each fastener can be photographically documented, creating a visual verification system that delivers traceability like never before.

Rapid ROI and Actionable Insights

TorqueGuardian™ delivers exceptional return on investment by eliminating manual quality verification processes that traditionally consume valuable production time and resources. By automating both quality checks and tool configuration adjustments in real-time, manufacturers experience immediate cost savings through reduced inspection labor, faster production cycles, and significant reductions in rework and warranty claims. Verifying a fastener has achieved the required number of turns ensures fastening integrity by detecting cross threading, thread debris and under-torque or over-torque failures. This verification includes knowing when operators have used fasteners that are too long or too short for each step. This capability transforms quality assurance by:

• Automatically flagging potential failure points before product completion.
• Creating auditable records of assembly integrity for liability protection.
• Reducing warranty claims through early detection of fastening issues.
• Enabling real-time training opportunities for assembly personnel.

Dynamic Controls for Critical Applications

Once programmed, each fastener can have a unique torque profile including target and min/max torque as well as run-down velocity, giving you exceptional flexibility and precision in your fastening operations. These adaptive controls are perfect for:

• Defense equipment requiring different torque specifications based on environmental conditions.
• Semiconductor manufacturing where precise assembly affects performance.
• Industrial equipment where variable torque requirements exist within a single assembly.

Digital Tracking and Regulatory Compliance

Gain unparalleled insights into design reliability with real time tracking based on actual production data and create a real live digital twin for every production step, keeping your design synchronized with what you are actually producing. The digital twin functionality streamlines compliance through:

• Automated report generation for government safety inspections.
• Data aggregation for ISO certification documentation.
• Simplified auditing processes for regulated manufacturing.
• Evidence-based documentation for continuous improvement initiatives.
