Today, let’s dive into a client case with CLAAS tractors!
Here is the feedback from a client, Arnaud Leboucher, who has been a bolted assembly reference at CLAAS since 2015. Using the TRAXX-M2, once a week, on bolts ranging from M16 to M20 in the CLAAS validation center, allows him to:
- Empirically verify, through direct tension measurement, whether his calculations and simulations performed on the COBRA software for the design and optimization of assemblies are correct and within standards.
- Investigate an anomaly or loosening case following a network feedback and quickly identify the source of the problem.
- During the prototyping phase, check essential connections on new tractors: chassis-engine, engine-gearbox, and gearbox-rear axle assemblies.
- Verify the consistency and reliability of the tightening robots on serial bolts.
Tractors of tomorrow
Arnaud Leboucher is particularly satisfied with the longevity and reliability of the TRAXX-M2 devices, which have allowed him to accumulate valuable tightening data for the past 12 years.
This data helps him understand and diagnose tightening-related problems as well as prototype new bolted connections for the tractors of tomorrow.
