Here is the feedback from Pascal Zych, Process Tightening Manager at STELLANTIS (formerly PSA) in the validation sector.
Pascal Zych has been working for several years on preparing vehicles for industrial production, supporting vehicle development from the perspective of tightening processes. He is responsible for all torque-angle tightening processes in the factories. In this context, he is supported by the TRAXX-M2 devices:
- During the launch of a new vehicle, to validate the torque-angle tightening characteristics of new assemblies.
- To validate the quality of serial bolts. In other words, he can check if the evolution of serial bolts impacts the quality and repeatability of torque-angle tightening.
- In case of a quality issue or product failure, the TRAXX-M2 allows for measuring the installed tension between parts to diagnose the problem.
A fleet of over 55 TRAXX-M2 devices
Pascal Zych is particularly satisfied with the TRAXX-M2, which has perfectly integrated into the company’s quality process and allows for synthesizing and maintaining great consistency between laboratory data and the measurements taken.
Pascal Zych is also very pleased with TRAXX’s customer service, which is very responsive and always attentive. This service also enabled one of his teams to be trained in the use of the TRAXX-M2 remotely during the lockdown periods.
To date, Stellantis (formerly PSA) is our largest client, with a fleet of over 55 devices. We would like to thank them for their loyalty and the trust they have placed in us over so many years.
