TDM2012 deploys quickly, seamless integration into existing processes, user configurable and easy to use.

Fastener Integrity Monitor

Precision torque application controllers cannot guarantee the integrity of a bolted joint/fastener because changes in frictional conditions and/or material composition can adversely impact the clamp force generated during the tightening process. Because frictional conditions can change rapidly and without notice, completed bolted joints have a high risk of being improperly tightened without detection.

Introducing the most advanced torque application quality verification system available today, Fastener Integrity Monitor (FIM). FIM calculates and maps key behavioral characteristics of the materials as they are being tightened with precision torque application controllers. FIM then analyzes the behavior of each rundown and compares actual behavior against mapped, baseline behavior to determine reportable deviations.

FIM is a complete quality verification that operates real time within the manufacturing cycle. Contact Catalyst Solutions to learn more about FIM and the benefits it delivers.

Weld Integrity Monitor

Early detection of hidden process failures is key to improving the quality of finished products and reducing cost impact of warranty related repairs once in the hands of the consumer.

By capturing detailed welding data in real time, WIM can analyze the behavior of materials and welding process during the welding activity to determine reportable deviations from normalized, baseline mappings of the welded joint which can create welding joints that are at high risk of premature failure.

Call Catalyst today to learn more about how WIM can become a vital part of your quality and cost management programs.
