Value
Modularity
• One motor with diferent heads offers more flexibility to operator
Productivity
• Reduce downtime for your operations (No need to back to workshop to change Drills Heads)
Ergonomics
• Easy way to adjust Drill configuration upon applications
Lower cost of ownership
• Reduced operating cost with less parts (one motor only)
• Upgrade kit for existing drills
Product Overview
TUL-Man is a cost-effective solution for monitoring
and managing pneumatic tool usage
• Track Cycle Counts (i.e. cycle count since last torque calibration)
• Track Runtime (i.e. time drilled with the cutter)
• Programmable operator feedback (i.e. red blinking LED to signal stop)
• Programmable Filters to Improve Count Accuracy (i.e. anything
shorter than 5 seconds is not a real cycle)

Tool Calibration
Optimize Calibration Process
With the information gathered and uploaded by TUL-Man
allows you to
Adjust the time-based calibration process according to the
actual tool usage
i.e. Extend the calibration cycle to 1 year if the tool doesn’t see much usage
Circulating the same type of tools for more balanced usages
i.e. Rotate the same type of tools between stations/cells to balance the usage
Eventually shift to usage-based calibration system
i.e. Calibrate the tool when the LED is blinking.
Cutter Usage
Monitor Cutter Usage
With the information gathered and uploaded by TUL-Man
allows you to
Understand how cutters are used
i.e. Calculate cutter life, average cycle time, distance drilled , etc.
Reduce the per cycle cost of drilling by selecting the right cutter for the job
Estimate cutter wear
i.e. Have a time or cycle based cutter change system vs. replacing the cutter
when it can no longer produce a good hole
Evaluate impact on quality
i.e. Hole size vs. cutter wear, surface finish vs. cutter wear
Value
Lower Cost of Ownership
• Usage-based PM program to reduce costly repairs and downtime
i.e. Replace bearings before it fails and cause damage to other parts
• Reduce the number of unnecessary calibrations i.e. Extend calibration cycle from 3 month to 6 month if the tool doesn’t see much usage
• Higher tool utilization rate i.e. less downtime = fewer backup tools needed
Improve Process
• Track tool condition when a cycle was conducted i.e. The joint was fastened 3 days before the calibration was due
• Information for continuous improvement i.e. Cpk changes from 2.00 to 1.50 after 1 million cycles on a nutrunner for a particular application. Action is needed at 500,000 cycle to maintain the desired Cpk.
