Challenge FEC – Electric Fastening and Press Applications

“Challenge Us” has been a slogan that FEC has taken to heart ever since we installed the first electric nutrunner in North America back in 1981. That challenge of quality driven innovation marked the end of the air tool era and the start of our ever-continuous evolution of technology used in our electric fastening and press products. Our history of customer and market derived challenges along with experience gained along the way has allowed us to offer an ever-increasing line of performance driven, price competitive products designed around the latest motor and servo technologies.

The AFC3000 Fixtured Electric Nutrunner evolved from over 35years of electric multi-spindle fastening experience providing our smallest and fastest nutrunners to date.  The high-speed tools with speeds up to 3000rpm, allow for reduced cycle-times for high productivity assembly processes.  Torque transducers built into each and every tool allows confidence that fastening accuracy will be met, maintaining process quality with the ability to save the fastening data for birth history. A broad range of torque tools are available from 0.8Nm to 5000Nm+.

The HFC3000 electric handheld nutrunner system is based on the same technology and packaged for operator handheld control.  With a configuration of tools that range from 10Nm up to 300Nm, all with the same built-in torque transducers, allowing for consistent accuracy, productivity and quality in a handheld package.

The DSP3000 Enforce digital servo press features an integrated load cell and resolver providing highly accurate closed-loop control for pressing applications.   Built-in programmable check zones allow in-process inspection and stop the cycle before out-of-spec parts are produced, reducing scrap. Press methods include pressing to a force, distance, rate increase and decrease, relative distance and more. Programming every aspect of the press’ movement throughout the cycle couldn’t be simpler with our easy-to-understand picture-based parameter setup screens.
