TorqueGuardian™: Torque Intelligence for every Fastener

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.

Rapid ROI and Actionable Insights

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.
• Native integration with the Kolver K-ducer torque wrench family.
