- Shutdown based on external target values (sensor) with torque and angle monitoring
Result: maximum quality and process reliability – even for demanding applications.

Press-In Process Know-How

DSM offers advanced technology for precise press-in processes – and much more: force- and displacement-controlled testing can also be realized using the same technology.
Selected features at a glance:
- Holding force/position for a defined period of time
- Force linearization for multi-range calibration
- Length linearization to compensate for elastic components in the process
- Friction coefficient determination to ensure process quality
- Differential force monitoring for high accuracy in connections
- Integration of external sensors for enhanced process analysis
- Envelope curve monitoring for evaluating the press-in process
- Redundant data recording
- Clip point detection for monitoring fasteners
- Review stroke for analyzing process sequences
Result: maximum precision and reliability – even in sensitive press-in and testing processes.

Automation Know-how

Whether manual workstation or fully automated station – DSM offers well-thought-out solutions for assembly, testing, and diagnostics.
We develop complete workstations for tightening, press-in, and testing applications, or supply the right technology as a system partner for complex automation projects. Always with the same goal: reliable processes and top quality.
Examples from our range of applications:
- Complete solutions for manual workstations – including for testing and diagnostics
- Fully automated assembly and testing stations using DSM technology
- Integration into robot cells and production lines
- Handling systems with position monitoring
- Automated testing with documented results
- Interfaces to higher-level systems
- Scalable control solutions for various plant concepts
- Feed units with nozzle for screws or joining parts – custom-adaptable
Result: efficient automation with adaptable technology – tailored precisely to your processes.
