Ergonomic Tool Arms (ETA) - Smart Arm Technology
Since we introduced our Smart Arms back in 2013, our product offering has grown twenty times over and adapted to suit customer needs. With 7 different frame sizes, 21 different tool holders and 4 different encoder outputs plus custom arm options, we can handle almost any Smart Arm project you have within our size limits.
ETA conventional torque arms, without position feedback, are found in almost all of their configurations at toolarms.com. ETA Smart Arms are the same footprint and function as our conventional torque arms with the addition of integrated Absolute Encoders for position feedback.
This position feedback of smart torque arms is essential to error-proof human assembly of products that use threaded fasteners, rivets, rivet-nuts and more. With ETA Smart Arms you have torque abatement, tool flotation, tool alignment and location feedback…. which, when combined with an intelligent tool, provides Industry 4.0 compliance in manual assembly operations.
