2023 article series (5/6) – the performance of IoT Bolting Systems. Understand how they can bring valuable efficiency and reliability gains while considering the technical boundary conditions as bolted joints are digitalized.
Following a large market interest in Strainlabs Bolts beyond previous range M10-M20, Strainlabs now introduces three new sizes: M22, M24 and M27. Expanding the Strainlabs Internet of Bolts, also called IoT Bolts, Smart bolts or intelligent bolts, further to enhance connectivity capabilities to an even broader set of applications.
We asked Scott Donnachie, a fastener professional with over 21 years of experience in the industry of fasteners and automotive a chartered mechanical engineer, to summarize his view on why preload / achieved clamp load in a joint need to become more of an active focus in the industry.
Peter Nyström is a well-known consultant in Sweden helping some of our largest industrial and governmental organizations to verify correct assembly of critical steel structures.
Strainlabs System has been developed to enable remote and automated inspections of bolted joints over time. However, preload data has additional values and one of them is the ability to get preload values presented in Real Time.
Bolt inspections and retightening routines are common and reoccurring across industries. Get an overview on the natural causes why bolt preload changes over time and learn about the main values of digitalization of bolts.
We asked the Technical Director at Bumax, Anders Söderman, to explain why tensile tests are key when testing bolts quality and function – and further to comment on how Strainlabs Bolts perform in regards of tensile strength.
Strainlabs Embedded Systems Engineer Michael Fransson explains how Strainlabs Bolts cope with providing relevant and correct data in varying temperatures.
Tomas Rehn is working with Sales & Business Development at Strainlabs and walks you through how to get started with Strainlabs IoT Bolts.
The Technical Director at Bumax, a company specialized in specialty stainless steel fasteners, gives his view on industry trends and Strainlabs solution.
