The Bosch Rexroth NEXO wireless nutrunner offers a next-generation browser-based operating system for programming and monitoring tools that don’t require software installation. Worker guidance programs show operators which bolt to tighten and the sequence to tighten the bolts. Software packages are available for data collection and statistical process control for live monitoring of bolt torquing to monitor tightening operations.
Browser-Based Software
The permanently embedded browser-based software for wireless NEXO tools is icon based and doesn’t require a computer to program it. This software can be accessed with any browser on any smart device that is connected to the internet. It allows 1024 programs to be created with 20 steps per program, and monitoring limits are possible for each step in the rundown. Additionally, the NEXO can store up to 10,000 rundown results, which can be viewed on the tool.
Responsive User Interface
Rexroth offers proprietary software programs that allow users to extract, view, analyze, and store data on the tightening operations for future use. This software lets users view a live stream of the tightening system’s data from on-site or remote locations. This software provides less downtime, consistency in production, and improved traceability.
Worker Guidance Displays
Easy-to-embed images in the worker guidance display show the correct bolt tightening sequence for multi-bolt operations. It indicates bolts that have been tightened and bolts that still need to be tightened. The worker guidance display also provides real-time feedback on torque, time, and angle – enabling visual control of the production environment.
