Key Hammer
The Traditional Method: A High-Risk Operation
Traditionally, wedge tightening is performed manually, typically using a large iron rod suspended from an overhead crane and manually impacted. This extremely dangerous method not only wastes time and labor, but also relies on visual inspection to ensure the wedge is secure and to ensure damage to the machine mold.
The HTS Solution: Technology at the Service of Safety
With the advancement of modern technology, we have developed a key/wedge driver that combines safety, stability, efficiency, and labor-saving tightening.
Benefits for Your Forging Shop:
- Safety: the operator works at a distance from the impact zone, with full control of the operation.
- Stability: every tightening is performed with the same precision, intervention after intervention.
- Efficiency: shorter intervention times and optimized labor.
- Ergonomics: reduced physical effort, to the benefit of everyone on the line.
- Mold protection: a controlled action safeguards the integrity of the equipment.
