Kolver TLS1 Series Positioning Arms

Kolver TLS1 Series Positioning Arms

Positioning Arms | Up to 442 in-lb


TLS1 is an intelligent system that error-proofs your assembly ensuring that every screw is in the correct location at the right torque. Assembly sequences and X-Y coordinates are easily programmed with user interface screens through the keypad from the intuitive menu. Torque programs are automatically selected and enabled from the screwdriver controller based on the TLS1 Arm locations and current sequence step. No PC is required. 


Main features

  • 8 available programs and up to 35 screws per program.
  • Screw position (length/angle) with accuracy: length ±0.04 in; angle ±1°.
  • Programmable tolerance and manual reset.
  • Password protected.
  • External keyboard and serial port for easy programming and statistics

TLS1 with CAR Arm

The TLS1/CAR Arm consists of a torque reaction arm with an encoder mounted at the pivot point and with a linear metering resistor. The encoder records the angle and the linear resistor records the distance. X-Y accuracy can be set by the operator according to each application.


TLS1 with Linear Arm

TLS1/LINAR1 and TLS1/LINAR2 positioning arms work just like LINAR1 and LINAR2 with the addition of positioning sensors for real time feedback on the position of the arm. Max torque and reach are the same as LINAR1 and LINAR2 respectively (see page 41). Adapter code 234545 is required for screwdriver model PLUTO35 and PLUTO50.


TLS1 with Folding Arm

TLS1/LINART features a folding arm for extreme flexibility and accuracy. Thanks to the positioning sensors you can have real time feedback on the position of the arm, which is very useful for default calibrations. Max torque and reach are the same as LINART.


TLS1 with Suspended Arm

A SAR XYZ/TLS1 is ideal for assembly stations where space is limited. It can be easily installed on most workplaces to help the operator handle the screwdriver in total safety and stability. The TLS1 System makes each operation truly error-proof: it tracks the X-Y-Z coordinates to make sure that each screw is tightened only when the screwdriver is in the correct position. Max torque and reach are the same as SAR XYZ.
