QPM Delivers Value Over The Life Cycle Of The Product

Lowered costs on materials and labor, reduced times for setup, fastening, rework, and maintenance. Increased quality, productivity, ergonomics, and flexibility. Compared to pneumatic and other DC electric assembly tools, QPM is THE COMPLETE TIGHTENING SOLUTION that delivers lifetime value.
Watch for this mark throughout the book to see the many ways QPM can increase your rate of return, usually paying back the investment in a few years - sometimes months.

Quality

Stanley's patented Adaptive Tightening Control technology gives more consistent torque results by automatically adjusting for different joint rates. Pneumatic and other DC electric tools require either operator-dependent parameter selection or additional tools to get consistent torque results.

Environment

No lubricating oil. Low noise levels. Up to six times more energy efficient. QPM quietly and cleanly creates a better environment for your workers, their product, and the globe.

Ergonomics

QPM ATC prevents sudden downshifting which can reduce operator fatigue and torque reaction impulse as compared to other DC electric tools. Soft stop feature prevents sudden change in torque reaction to the operator.

Modularity

Common modular controllers and tool components allow a manufacturer to draw on a smaller inventory of interchangeable parts to maintain a production line of any size or complexity. Other DC electric systems require more unique controller and tool components.

Productivity

QPM systems reduce the frequency of maintenance with increased Mean Time Between Failures from long life components (motors, gearing, non-contact start electronics, cables, and bearings) as compared to other DC electric and pneumatic tools.

Simple QPM construction decreases the Mean Time To Repair because other DC electric systems are more complex and costly to repair.

DC electric tools require less frequent torque audits which decrease production cost as compared to pneumatic tools.

Flexibility

QPM enables flexible manufacturing. A single tool can be set to assemble joints of different target torque levels. In contrast, separate pneumatic tools are required for each different torque level, increasing initial cost and the repetitive cost of setup.

Return on Investment (ROI)

QPM can improve ROI in a new assembly process by providing a lower overall life cycle cost as compared to pneumatic and other DC electric tool solutions. When comparing tooling solutions, it is important to look at the Total Cost of Ownership, which includes operating costs as well as up-front acquisition costs.

Error Proofing

QPM compares digital results to quality limits to eliminate missed fasteners. With pneumatic tools, error proofing is more complex and less reliable.

CONTROL STRATEGIES

Take Complete Control Of The Assembly Process

Whether your tightening applications require a single strategy for assembly to a target torque level or a series of strategies that can monitor material properties and/or component position, QPM gives you the control. One controller can store as many as 99 jobs sets of different tightening strategies.

Each parameter set holds as many as eight complete strategies to match the needs of any tightening application.

Set-up is as easy or advanced as you need, with Wizard set-ups for the basics and PC programmability for complex jobs.

Strategies

Each strategy consists of a complete set of parameters to control and/or audit torque, angle, time, speed, and power. Each strategy may advance to the next, invisible to the operator, or pause the tool briefly to manage direction changes, multiple spindle synchronization, or relaxation and crosstalk effects.

From Easy to Expert

The Wizard gives Easy Method control directly from the key pad on the controller. Users can also take advantage of advanced programmability using Configuration Editor or FTB software with a PC.

Torque Control with Angle Monitoring

Most common control strategy for tightening threaded fasteners.
Angle monitoring can detect changes in joint rate, indicating process concerns.

Settings
• Torque target and limits
• Angle limits

Ends at torque = torque target.
Final torque and angle within limits for OK cycle.

Angle Control with Torque Monitoring

Controls the amount of fastener rotation. Angle control can determine component positions.

Settings
• Angle target and limits
• Torque limits

Ends at angle = angle target.
Final angle and torque within limits for OK cycle.

Angle and Torque Control

Used for very critical joints with precision components.

Settings
• Torque target and limits
• Angle target and limits
• Torque and angle bailouts

Ends at torque = torque
target; angle = angle
target. Final torque and angle within limits for OK cycle.

Torque Recovery with Angle Monitoring

Used to balance residual torque in multiple spindle operations after initial securing.

Settings
• Torque target and limits
• Angle target and limits

Ends at torque = torque target.
Actual peak torque and net angle within limits for OK cycle.

Angle Control with Torque Averaging

Averages the rolling torque from snug to the angle control target.
Recalculates zero torque if used with TC/AM and the prevailing torque option.

Settings
• Average Torque limits
• Angle target and limits
• Min and Max Torque bailouts

Ends at angle = angle target.

Rate Control with Angle Monitoring

Used to sense changes in joint rate (gradient) to detect galling, cross threading, and bottom out.

Settings
• Torque rate target
• Torque and angle limits

Ends at torque vs. angle rate = rate control target. Final torque and angle within limits for OK cycle.

Yield Control with Angle Monitoring

Used to sense the yield point of a fastener based on a decreasing torque vs. angle rate.

Settings
• Yield control target
• Torque and angle limits

Ends at torque vs. angle rate = yield control target. Final torque
and angle within limits for OK cycle.

Back off the Fastener

Backs off a fastener a selected amount of rotation.

Settings
• Back off angle target
• Angle limits

Ends at angle = angle target.
Final angle and torque within limits for OK cycle.

NETWORKING SOLUTIONS

Easy And Seamless Integration Into Any Level Of Plant Control

QPM systems use a few standard modules to flexibly scale from stand-alone systems to a plant-wide network of tools. Available interface options tightly integrate with plant control and information systems. Common electronics and software modules offer high customization and adaptability. QPM software converts complex process data into useful information tailored to Quality, Production, Maintenance, and Engineering functions.

OUTPUT OPTIONS

Hundreds of output designs enable solutions that fit the process

Stanley manufactures a complete range of outputs to access all types of threaded fasteners.
By controlling both the design of the tool and the output, Stanley can properly match components to gain optimal performance and long life. With over 40 years of experience in developing standard and special outputs, Stanley has the expertise to handle the most challenging fastening requirements.

STRAIGHT

Straight and pistol handle tools fit
applications with direct access to
the fastener.

ANGLE

Angle tools can access fasteners
in spaces not accessible to straight
tools.

FLUSH ANGLE

Flush angle tools can access vertical
spaces 50% lower than standard
angle tools.

CROWFOOT

Crowfoot nutrunners have a range
of sizes and torque levels to
access fasteners in unique, hard to
reach applications.

TUBENUT

Tubenut nutrunners have open
sockets that enable the tool end to
be put over a tube, hose, or other
tubular connection to secure a fitting.

HOLD & DRIVE

Hold and drive tools simutaneously
hold the bolt while the nut is tightened.
A formed end on the bolt
interfaces with a mating tang or bit
to prevent bolt rotation.
