39. TUL-Man
Tool Usage and Life Management Solution

40. Product Overview
TUL-Man is a cost-effective solution for monitoring
and managing pneumatic tool usage
• Track Cycle Counts (i.e. cycle count since last torque calibration)
• Track Runtime (i.e. time drilled with the cutter)
• Programmable operator feedback (i.e. red blinking LED to signal stop)
• Programmable Filters to Improve Count Accuracy (i.e. anything
shorter than 5 seconds is not a real cycle)
Mechanical Integration Integrated Circuit Software

41. Design Features
Mechanical Integration
“Plug and Play” Adaptability
• Common ¼” NPT thread on both ends
• Compatible with small pneumatic tools
Durability
• Water and Dust Resistant Design
• Impact Resistant Polycarbonate Cover
• Wear Resistant Delrin Housing
• Separation of electrical components
• Drop Tested
Minimal Impact on the Tool
• 2.2” long and 1.25” in diameter
• <10% impact on free speed

42. Design Features
Integrated Circuit
Efficiency
• Small (15mm X 35mm)
• 1.5 year of estimated battery life*
• Programmable operator feedback
Accuracy
• Signal filers that can be programmed base on application
i.e. Ignores pulses that are shorter than 3 seconds

44. Tool Calibration
Optimize Calibration Process
With the information gathered and uploaded by TUL-Man
allows you to
 Adjust the time-based calibration process according to the
actual tool usage
i.e. Extend the calibration cycle to 1 year if the tool doesn’t see much usage
 Circulating the same type of tools for more balanced usages
i.e. Rotate the same type of tools between stations/cells to balance the usage
 Eventually shift to usage-based calibration system
i.e. Calibrate the tool when the LED is blinking.

45. Cutter Usage
Monitor Cutter Usage
With the information gathered and uploaded by TUL-Man
allows you to
 Understand how cutters are used
i.e. Calculate cutter life, average cycle time, distance drilled , etc.
Reduce the per cycle cost of drilling by selecting the right cutter for the job
 Estimate cutter wear
i.e. Have a time or cycle based cutter change system vs. replacing the cutter
when it can no longer produce a good hole
 Evaluate impact on quality
i.e. Hole size vs. cutter wear, surface finish vs. cutter wear

46. Value
Lower Cost of
Ownership
• Usage-based PM program to
reduce costly repairs and
downtime
i.e. Replace bearings before it fails
and cause damage to other parts
• Reduce the number of
unnecessary calibrations
i.e. Extend calibration cycle from 3
month to 6 month if the tool doesn’t
see much usage
• Higher tool utilization rate
i.e. less downtime = fewer backup
tools needed
Improve Process
• Track tool condition when a
cycle was conducted
i.e. The joint was fastened 3 days
before the calibration was due
• Information for continuous
improvement
i.e. Cpk changes from 2.00 to 1.50
after 1 million cycles on a nutrunner
for a particular application. Action
is needed at 500,000 cycle to
maintain the desired Cpk.
