Value

Modularity

• One motor with diferent heads offers more flexibility to operator

Productivity

• Reduce downtime for your operations (No need to back to workshop to change Drills Heads)

Ergonomics

• Easy way to adjust Drill configuration upon applications

Lower cost of ownership

• Reduced operating cost with less parts (one motor only)

• Upgrade kit for existing drills

TUL-Man Tool Usage and Life Management Solution

Product Overview

TUL-Man is a cost-effective solution for monitoring

and managing pneumatic tool usage

• Track Cycle Counts (i.e. cycle count since last torque calibration)

• Track Runtime (i.e. time drilled with the cutter)

• Programmable operator feedback (i.e. red blinking LED to signal stop)

• Programmable Filters to Improve Count Accuracy (i.e. anything

shorter than 5 seconds is not a real cycle)

Mechanical Integration Integrated Circuit Software

Design Features

Mechanical Integration

“Plug and Play” Adaptability

• Common ¼” NPT thread on both ends

• Compatible with small pneumatic tools

Durability

• Water and Dust Resistant Design

• Impact Resistant Polycarbonate Cover

• Wear Resistant Delrin Housing

• Separation of electrical components

• Drop Tested

Minimal Impact on the Tool

• 2.2” long and 1.25” in diameter

• <10% impact on free speed

Design Features

Integrated Circuit

Efficiency

• Small (15mm X 35mm)

• 1.5 year of estimated battery life*

• Programmable operator feedback

Accuracy

• Signal filers that can be programmed base on application

i.e. Ignores pulses that are shorter than 3 seconds

Ability to connect to PC

• Micro-USB port

• Programmable through PC

• Ability to upload tool usage data

Design Features

Software Interface

• Password protected settings

Basic Mode • View usage data

Tool Room Mode • + Reset Cycle Counts

Advance Mode • + Program filters and feedback

• + Program Tool ID

Tool Calibration

Optimize Calibration Process

With the information gathered and uploaded by TUL-Man

allows you to

Adjust the time-based calibration process according to the

actual tool usage

i.e. Extend the calibration cycle to 1 year if the tool doesn’t see much usage

Circulating the same type of tools for more balanced usages

i.e. Rotate the same type of tools between stations/cells to balance the usage

Eventually shift to usage-based calibration system

i.e. Calibrate the tool when the LED is blinking.

Cutter Usage

Monitor Cutter Usage

With the information gathered and uploaded by TUL-Man

allows you to

Understand how cutters are used

i.e. Calculate cutter life, average cycle time, distance drilled , etc.

Reduce the per cycle cost of drilling by selecting the right cutter for the job

Estimate cutter wear

i.e. Have a time or cycle based cutter change system vs. replacing the cutter

when it can no longer produce a good hole

Evaluate impact on quality

i.e. Hole size vs. cutter wear, surface finish vs. cutter wear

Value

Lower Cost of Ownership

• Usage-based PM program to reduce costly repairs and downtime

i.e. Replace bearings before it fails and cause damage to other parts

• Reduce the number of unnecessary calibrations i.e. Extend calibration cycle from 3 month to 6 month if the tool doesn’t see much usage

• Higher tool utilization rate i.e. less downtime = fewer backup tools needed

Improve Process

• Track tool condition when a cycle was conducted i.e. The joint was fastened 3 days before the calibration was due

• Information for continuous improvement i.e. Cpk changes from 2.00 to 1.50 after 1 million cycles on a nutrunner for a particular application. Action is needed at 500,000 cycle to maintain the desired Cpk.
