RK-MTC MultiTool Controller for data exchange (FreeSet-3 models only)

WIFI Communication • Cordless communication between controller and all FreeSet-3 smart riveting tool models.  Depending on configuration, this device can control up to 20 riveting tools.

Force and Stroke Data • Can be exchanged between tool to controller, and controller to your PLC or plant control system via Profibus, Profinet, Open Protocol, PFCS, or IPSQ.  Optionally pass/fail can be conveyed using 24V discrete I/O.

PLC Integration • Can be used to lock down fixtures, count and qualify rivet sets and release fixtured parts.

Trend Analysis • Can be reviewed by collecting the data stored local to the controller. Access to tool configuration is possible using FreeSet Manager software, or IP App.

Fault and Maintenance Management • Any events that trigger a fault are recorded in the data collected. Tool maintenance reminders can be set using the FreeSet manager software.

Breakthrough Technologies • The first riveting tool of its kind which can barcode scan, use WiFi to communicate with external systems and qualify the rivet using the load cell.   Measuring forces with a load cell, are far more accurate over time in comparison with transducers, current measurement and strain gages.

Quality & Process Monitoring • Count rivets, qualify the process, communicate with external system, measure your results over time, document them and prevent failures by stopping them before it continues to move through production.
