Screwing Station
Screwing Station
Overview
EMDEP Screwing Station is working around the world with more than one model of tightening controllers. So, we can guarantee an easy transfer to other models according to customer needs.
We support next models of tightening devices:
Main features
Positioning system
Reaction time. Every movement is codified and transferred in a faster way improving the efficiency of the operations.
Accuracy. EMDEP has created a special algorithm in order to improve the accuracy of the positioning system. Now, targets with short distance between themselves can be detected in a better way.

Manufacturing modes
Sequential Test
It is the predefined mode. All the wires and tightening operations are done in a sequential mode and in a predefined order.
Random Mode
In this mode, the operator has different wires and selecting one and touching with the wire in a point, the system automatically identifies the wire and enables the appropriate sequence.
Mixed Mode
Modes 1 and 2 can be combined.
Multiple Test Options
EMDEP Screwing Station integrates all possible required test options in addition to the tightening operations. We can differentiate between the tightening and electrical test options:
Screwing Test options
-
Allow a maximum number of tightens by position
-
Abort the test automatically by digital input
-
Possibility of password protection for loosening process or aborting the process
-
Possibility to require the presence of the tools into the tray when starting the process
Test Modes
-
Possibility to require the presence of the tools into the tray when finishing the process
-
Standard mode. Allows to assembly and tighten the wires
-
Rework mode. Allows to loosen the nuts only in the programmed positions
Electrical Check
EMDEP Screwing Station checks electrically all the wires involved in the tightening process:
Verification of box presence and lock of it to avoid system cheats
Continuity assurance of the wire before and after being tightened
Continuity assurance of all the wires after finishing the process
Detection of extra wires
Detection of misallocated wires
-
Detection of the presence of wires
-
Detection of wire shrink
Clear Guidance to the Operator
On-board Guidance
-
LED for current wire pick-up box
-
LED for current nut pick-up box
-
LEDs for tool management
-
LEDs for both ends of the wire (from and to)
Smart tool management
The tool manipulation has been studied and the algorithm indicates the changes of the tool in the best moment to maximize the efficiency.
Multi-language interface.
Easily translation to new languages. Unicode support: charsets such as Latin, Cyrillic, Hanzi, Kana, Hanja, Arabic, Hebrew, Greek, Armenian, Georgian…
On-screen guidance
-
Clear guidance on operation to perform
-
Clear instructions to solve errors
-
Mirror of tightening controller screen
-
Displaying of the current position of the spindle
-
Displaying the status of the tool tray
-
Displaying of complete information of the tightened and pending positions for current harness
-
Overall of test details: harness id, box, reference and start time.
Auto-rescaling to the monitor resolution.
Software detects the resolution and organize information presented in the monitor according to that.
Test Options
Data Analysis
A complete new analysis suite has been created in Emdep Screwing Station. Here we can see main features of the new data analysis app:
Handling of data from several sites, projects, lines or stations
Several filter options available
Built-in analysis tools
Production reports
- Amount and rate of the passed harnesses
- Amount and rate of the rejected harnesses
- Average and deviation time for passed harnesses
- Average and deviation time for rejected harnesses
Harness traceability
- Track of a specific harness along with the details of all the tightening operations
Process capability
- Statistical values per cycle: average and standard deviation
- Statistical values per cycle: average and standard deviation
- Six-sigma control value per cycle: Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk
- Run chart
- Histogram
Error analysis
- Pareto chart based on errors per cycle
- Pareto chart based on errors per position
Output of filtered data to CSV format for analysis using third-party tools
Output of filtered data to PDF format
