Developed to enhance the reliability and efficiency of robotic automated fastening processes, "Robotech Impact" is a next-generation impact tool that combines low reaction force, high durability, and data management capabilities, achieving both productivity and maintainability.

1. Challenges in Automating Bolt Fastening Processes On-Site
Recently, demand for labor-saving and automation in manufacturing sites has increased rapidly, and robotic fastening operations are being adopted. Are you facing any of the following issues with your current robots?

- High reaction force puts a heavy load on the robot, increasing equipment size and introduction cost.
- Regular oil changes are required, raising maintenance costs.
- Lack of data acquisition makes quality traceability difficult.
- Continuous operation causes overheating and work stoppage.

To address these challenges, Panasonic developed the "Robotech Impact."

2. Low-Reaction Force Design of Robotech Impact
Adopting an impact drive method, Robotech Impact minimizes reaction force during operation, reducing stress on the robot arm and body. This enables the use of smaller robots and contributes to lowering introduction costs.
Low reaction force also helps minimize operation interruptions and errors, ensuring stable work.

3. Oil-Free Design for High Durability
The oil-free structure eliminates the need for regular oil changes, reducing labor and time spent on maintenance and lowering overall maintenance costs.
Additionally, it prevents internal contamination or viscosity changes caused by oil, supporting long-duration operations and minimizing effects on takt time.

4. Enhanced Data Logging and Operation Management
Robotech Impact can wirelessly log the following data during operation:

- Torque
- Fastening angle
- Waveform
- Operation time

This data enables traceability, useful for defect analysis and quality assurance. It also includes work assist features like batch, job, and sequence management, allowing control over torque and quantity. It supports multiple tool use and various fastening configurations, enhancing adaptability for mixed-product production.

5. Bolt Seizure Detection Feature
Bolt seizure occurs when tightening is forced despite misaligned threads. Robotech Impact prevents this with a feature that automatically reverses at a preset speed beforehand.
This helps reduce seizure incidents in automated operations.

6. Why Panasonic's Robotech Impact is Recommended
Robotech Impact features a low-reaction force design compatible with small robots, an oil-free build for durability, and data logging for traceability—meeting the real needs of manufacturing. It's the new go-to tool for robotic fastening, achieving improved efficiency, reduced maintenance costs, and enhanced quality assurance.
