Turns hand, wireless, and pneumatic torque tools into a guided, error-proofed assembly process that verifies every fastening and records results for MES traceability.
On mixed-model assembly lines, operators must apply the right torque to the right fastener in the right sequence across many product variants. Missed, duplicated, or out-of-spec fastenings drive rework, warranty costs, and safety recalls that stand-alone hand tools cannot prevent or document.
The Global 400 acts as a station-dedicated process controller that pairs with up to 16 torque tools and 8 holding tools, organizes fastenings into parameter sets, groups, and jobs, and guides operators step by step. It signals OK/NOK for every fastening and streams results to plant systems for complete process control and traceability.
Wireless click, digital, and holding wrenches plus pneumatic and power tools pair to the Global 400 controller simply by powering them on. The controller loads the correct job, selected by keypad, I/O, barcode scan, or network assignment, and directs the operator through each fastening in sequence. It counts and verifies every rundown, provides OK/NOK guidance, and communicates over Ethernet, 24V I/O, and PLC with the MES, with data acquired through GlobalHost or ToolsNet.

Organizes workers, tools, and tasks so each assembly step is guided and verified at the point of use.
Controls up to 16 torque tools and 8 holding tools across 100 parameter sets, with up to four tools operating simultaneously in a group.
Predefined jobs sequence parameter sets and groups, selectable by keypad, I/O, barcode scan, or network assignment.
Delivers real-time OK/NOK feedback and directs operators through the correct fastening order to prevent missed or incorrect torque.
Connects to plant systems over Ethernet, 24V I/O, and PLC, with simultaneous data acquisition through GlobalHost or ToolsNet.
Tools pair by powering on, and controllers chain over a single Ethernet drop to cut installation cost.
