Torque reaction arms and tool positionning system

A pioneer and a leader in work station ergonomics, our wide range of torque reaction arms and tool positioning systems is an active contributor to the improvement of your operators’ comfort (elimination of MSD), of the quality of your assemblies and of your productivity.
To guarantee optimal quality and traceability, most DOGA torque reaction arms are available with a positioning system. So every screw is tightened at the right location and at the right torque!

The function of positioning

Most DOGA torque reaction arms are available with or without a positioning system. This function, called "Posi-Control" or "PC", is made possible by adding position encoders to the arms. These encoders define the tool's location in space and allow for tightening sequences to be programmed. This system guarantees optimal quality and traceability.
The absolute position encoders are sensing devices that monitor the angular and/or linear movements of the tool.
DOGA torque reaction arms are fitted with from 1 to 4 sensors depending on the model. There are 4 types of position encoders:

•    Contactless linear encoders on the longitudinal stroke (BA, BA...C and SLIDER models).
•    Contactless angular encoders with magnets (BA, BA...G models).
•    Cable encoders that monitor the extended length of the arm. They are used to confirm the distance between the tool and the screw tightening point (DMF models).
•    Gyroscopic encoders that measure the arm orientation and assembly tool positioning angle relative to the screw tightening position (DMF models).

The correct combination of these different encoders offers optimal assembly tool positioning relative to the screw tightening position.
The position encoders of the torque reaction arms, when combined with the DPC Touch V2 (sequencing and assembly process monitoring interface), create a system capable of guiding an operator through complete assembly sequences.

The simultaneous use of the DPC Touch V2, with a torque reaction arm equipped with a positioning sensors, guarantees you optimal quality and traceability for a zero-defect assembly.

How to prevent Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD)?

Bras de réaction au couple pour lutter contre les TMS Assembly operations are a source of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD).
Did you know that they represent around 85% of declared occupational diseases (source ANACT)?
These disorders affect the health and safety of your operators. In order to lower the risks, measures to reduce the difficulty of tasks can be put into place.
Designing workstations and production lines with improved ergonomics, using torque reaction arms, contributes to the safety and comfort of the operator while meeting the challenges of productivity and quality.
These workstation adjustments not only have a positive effect on the working conditions of operators, but also have a significant impact on quality and productivity.

 

Ergonomie

Ergonomics

These ergonomic workstation solutions eliminate torque reaction in the operator's hand, absorb assembly tool vibrations, lighten the load and assist the operator.

Sécurité

Safety

By carrying out repetitive movements and relieving postural constraints, torque reaction arm protects against possible injuries to joints, tendons and muscles.

Productivité

Productivity

The benefit of this technology is to increase operational efficiency.
Fluid movement of the axes ensures complete maneuverability and facilitates assembly operations.

Qualité

Quality

DOGA torque reaction arms are designed to guarantee quality by optimizing assembly tool positioning without oscillation. This results in significant improvements in the finished product.
