General Overview
Atlas Copco’s Industrial Location Guidance (ILG) is an integrated, stand-alone error proofing system that offers high-level process security for applications ranging from simple to complex. ILG tracks the exact location of the tool relative to the fastening position, ensuring the correct fasteners are tightened to specification, in the proper sequence. Comprised of ILG software, positioning hardware and tightening controller, the system combines the functionality of a tightening system with position and process control. Typical applications for ILG include: low-volume, high-value component assembly, repairs stations and flexible assembly cells.
Features
- Tool enable dependent on its location relative to tightening position.
- Free or Forced process order.
- Initiate process from Workpiece (Part) ID on-screen input, barcode scanner, Stacklight, or fieldbus protocol.
- Workpiece process selection by controller identifier via barcode scanner or fieldbus communication protocol.
- Compensation for variable part location relative to the ILG system: – Static part – 1-Point Dynamic Referencing – 2-Point Dynamic Referencing – 3-Point Dynamic Referencing
