RK-787C-3 FreeSet® Poka-Yoke

RK-787C-3 FreeSet® Poka-Yoke

FreeSet® RK-787C-3 is optimized for process monitoring for Poke-Yoke implementation in production lines.  Using a load cell combined with a stroke sensor, it’s possible to measure the installation force to detect and avoid inconsistences in clamp load as a result of human-error, maintenance, or set-up.  A force controlled strategy prevents spin-out and improves mandrel life caused by over or under tightening. This empowers management to standardize the training process, promote work improvement-oriented actions, unburden quality control staff and prevent/detect/eliminate defects before reaching customers.  The FreeSet® Manager software helps analyze, configure and control the application of rivet nuts as well as the tools configuration and preventive maintenance plan.

PASS/FAIL: The results of the riveting process inform the operator via the OLED screen, or to external systems via WIFI.  Installation data including force/stroke values are stored on the tool, or if optionally equipped via WiFi to external systems.
WIFI: All RK-787C-3 models can be optionally equipped with 2.4/5.0 gHz WIFI in order to communicate with external controllers or PLC that are part of a Poke-Yoke implementation.  The messages exchange between tool and controller can inform fixtures to open/close, mark an item for QC review, or halt a production line.
BARCODE READER:  All RK-787-3 models can be optionally equipped with a barcode reader for; quick set up, a change in the application parameters, and serial number matching.

FreeSet® is a groundbreaking technology which offers the freedom of battery operated tools combined with smart technologies to provide an interactive riveting experience.  This tool is eco-friendly and considered a green technology since CO2 savings calculations can be made by eliminating the dependence on air compressors.  Flexibility and safety is also dramatically improved without reliance on airhoses.

FREESET® is a groundbreaking technology which offers the freedom of battery operated tools combined with smart technologies to provide an interactive riveting experience.

The concept is simple: Add intelligence to a high performance tool, with a renewable energy source and you arrive with the technology of FREESET®. FreeSet® is a tool offered in a variety of configurations which can meet and exceed the standards of its users. Whether operating without  access to a compressor, decluttering work cells, or incorporating error proofing strategies in the production line, FreeSet® can be configured to solve nearly any assembly problem.

FreeSet® technology can be used to apply Blind Rivets, Rivetnuts, or LockBolts and can be configured with accessories that increase productivity and ensure quality.

The RK-787C-3 version is specialized to install  Rivet Nuts has enhanced process monitoring features that provide robust control of quality and maintenance , providing both visual and audible OK/ NO-OK indicators via the multicolor display.

The force sensor can detect variations in setting force as well as the actual grip. The resulting data can either be stored in the tool memory card, or exported by USB to EXCEL to review the force curves.

A barcode reader can be added for quick and easy program recall and tool setup.

For advanced users, a WIFI connection can be opened and the too; can communicate with the PLC for additional controls.

This tool is ECO friendly and considered a Green technology as the battery life is managed by the tools microprocessor and smart charger. This extends battery life for years. In addition, this tool can be used in calculations  to reduce your CO2 foot print.

Safer Work Environment
• Eliminates trip hazards
• Improved ergonomics – no hose to drag around
• No hoses to dirty or scratch painted or finished surfaces
• Improves air quality by eliminating oil emitted with the air Increased Efficiency
• QuickDraw™ Technology drastically increases tool speed
• Cordless tools use 99% less energy than air tools
• No pressure drops caused by compressors
• No maintenance of oilers
• No more supply line leaks Freeset™ tools with QuickDraw™ Technology are faster than pneudraulic and hydraulic tools. They can detect when a rivet is applied and quickly reset without having to complete an entire stroke cycle.
• 18V, 2.5 Ah Lithium Ion battery
• 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects
• Tool does not come supplied with nosepieces – they must be ordered separately Freeset™ tools have a battery management system that prevents users from starting a job if the battery life is too low. This eliminates the risk of the tool shutting down mid-installation and not setting the lockbolt properly.
CAUTION: When operating always wear safety glasses to protect your eyes.
