• Fastening Tools and controllers are our core business.
• Now we Integrate our tools
more and more with new
­station hardware and software and propose Complete
­Station Solutions instead.
Reduced Costs At the same time reducing production costs is the key to remaining competitive.

To meet these customer trends Atlas
Copco has expanded its offering with
a full range of standard products to
build a complete Error Proofing
Station solution.
Maximum Flexibility More and more
different products are built on the same
line this results in increased complexity
of assembly operation and better operator support needed. Also assembly lines
need to be rebalanced more frequently in
order to adapt to the final customer demand.

With Quality Integrated Fastening you choose
the level of operator support
Your station will pay for itself
Higher production quality
• Better operator support QIF Assembly Stations reduce
operator errors and ensure high production quality.
Applications
Final assembly applications
To maintain high productivity on final assembly lines,
­effective operator support is crucial. The QIF Stack
Light can be fully integrated into the line control
system. The yellow lamp flashes when the car has
reached 70% of its footprint. The red lamp lights
when the car is stopped or “Not OK”.
Improved flexibility
• Simple set-up Stations are easy to set up and rebalance.
There is only one bus cable to connect and the programming is very simple and intuitive.
Only one cable to connect and intuitive set up
Scalable operator support from simple stacklight up to colour screen
• Full traceability QIF software solutions ensure full traceability as well as real-time monitoring of your production.
• Fast delivery All station parts, both hardware and software, are standard and on the shelf, ready to be delivered
and decrease your time to production.
Process Monitoring/­
Documentation
• One-stop shopping Purchase is simplified since Atlas
Copco ­delivers the complete station.
Operator Guidance
Reduced cost
Problem
• Standardization Using QIF Assembly Stations with
standard modules from Atlas Copco in your operation
means fewer special solutions, fewer spare parts, less
training and, in the end, lower cost.
Use traces in combination with
unique ID number to filter out
faulty products
Identify bottlenecks
• Reduce bottlenecks Production reports generated by
QIF software help you identify problem areas. By installing ToolsNet in a plant we could reduce the number of
bad tightenings by 90% after 12 months.
• Avoid costly recalls By using QIF ToolsNet Software.
Instead of calling back a full day’s production, you can
limit it to just the very batch that was assembled with a
faulty fastener.
• Simplify station design QIF stations are integrated,
you can connect all parts to the Power Focus controller
and reduce external nodes like scanners and PLCs.

Simplify station design with integrated scanner and operator panel
A Stacklight can easily be connected, using just one cable,
and programmed. Lamps and buzzer give clear feedback
and a key can be used to acknowledge errors.
This arrangement enables you to detect errors at the workstation and correct them in station instead of further down
the line.
Workstation includes:
• Controller
• Stacklight with
– Buzzer
– Error acknowledgement key
Problem
An increasing number of product variants are built on the
same production line increasing the risk of errors occurring.
QIF Assembly Station solutions give you the support you
need to handle this situation.
Solution
An integrated Barcode Scanner on the Tensor ST tool immediately identifies the product variant and the correct
program is selected automatically. An operator panel with
command buttons and integrated lamps provides a highly
effective operator interface, and enables manual selection
of various programs.
Socket and bit selectors mini­
mize the risk of errors relating to
­product diversity by automatically
­selecting correct torque ­according
to the socket or bit selected.
Workstation
­includes:
• Controller
• Barcode scanner mounted on tool
• Operator panel
• Socket and bit selectors
The complexity of some applications requires more advanced operator support to simplify the task and ensure
error-free tightening.
Solution
A MiniDisplay with operator guidance displays a photo of
the product on the screen, clearly indicating joints to be
tightened and giving build instructions. Positioning solutions can also be used to ensure that work is perfor­med on
the correct bolt. Our standard solution for screwdrivers is
the Tracker Positioning arm.
For higher torque arms, we offer 3D positioning with a
ComNode, this solution is available from our Application
Center.
Workstation includes:
• Controller
• MiniDisplay with Operator Guidance
• Choice of positioning solutions (option)
Problem
Many modern manufacturing processes, large and small,
demand traceability and constant process improvement.
Solution
Atlas Copco QIF standard software modules.
ToolsNet data collection and process improvement software. ­Historical data and statistical reports can be accessed
at any time.
Event Monitor provides remote real time monitoring of
all events occurring in your QIF Assembly Stations. When
maintenance is ­needed, the reaction can be much faster.
Factory Overview monitors your entire plant making it
easy to ­access any individual tightening station.
ComNode is the platform to run QIF software for up to 10
spindles.
Power Train
Some of the joints must be tightened in a specific sequence. The photo of the product on the
QIF ­MiniDisplay helps the operator to perform the
­sequence correctly.
Off Road Wheel Multiple
The QIF Operator Panel indicates the status of
tightenings being performed. A rework program is selected directly on the panel and
can be performed immediately in station.

• ToolsNet
• Event Monitor
• Factory Overview

• ComNode controller
Electronics Industry
This application normally involves tightening
several screws to different torque levels. To avoid
errors, the operator is using a QIF Integrated Positioning Arm.
