Crane’s Torque Measurement Technology Specified For Smart
1997
Torque measurement and control analysis equipment supplied by Crane Electronics has been specified by Krupp Hoesch Automotive and the partners in the new Micro Compact Car (MCC). MCC is the manufacturer of the SMART, a two seater city car, expected to revolutionise urban transport.
SMART is a collaboration between Daimler Benz and Switzerland’s SMH Watch group. At a new factory in Hambach near Metz (Lorraine) in Eastern France, the major suppliers to the MCC project, such as Krupp Hoesch Automotive, who are in charge of the assembly of the drive train, will have their own buildings on site.
The Krupp Hoesch on-line assembly plant will use both electric and air power tools as part of the assembly process. To provide highly accurate measurements of all torque generated by the tools, a comprehensive range of Crane products has been specified. This includes the TorqueStars, Joint Kits, UTA Static Transducers, CheckStars and software.
Crane secured the order amongst competition from major European competitors on strength of the simplicity of use of Crane products and the recommendation of some major power tool manufacturers. A similar range of products also including ToolStar has also been supplied to MCC for applications with the 5-100 Nm range.
