Stanley Introduces the QA Alpha Controller for DC Electric Fastening - Featuring New Software That Puts Communication in Overdrive

June 24, 2008 - Stanley Assembly Technologies introduces the QA Alpha controller for DC electric fastening. The QA Alpha controller has a bright and bold user interface with newly enhanced process capabilities and easy-to-use Embedded Toolbox software. It is also compatible with the full range of Stanley® QPM DC electric tools, from 0.6 to 2000 Nm and higher.

Enhanced process capabilities include linking of multiple parameter sets ("tasks") in a sequence ("job") for tightening different fasteners in a workstation. Assignable inputs/outputs eliminate the need for a PLC in many applications. I/O controller options include 24V, fieldbus, and Modbus TCP. Users may program all of these capabilities via either the controller keypad/display or the Embedded Toolbox software by connecting with any Web browser with JavaScript enabled and Adobe Flash Player installed.

"The QA Alpha, with standard Ethernet, is equipped with the technology that today's high-performance manufacturing plants demand," commented the company's Product and Marketing Manager, Doug Versele. "Stanley Assembly Technologies is committed to taking the lead in improving the threaded fastening process."

The QA Alpha includes the following standard communication features:

Ethernet - for message-based protocols and fieldbus I/O mapping
USB Port - for use with the optional Stanley USB Memory Stick to import/export rundown data, traces and parameter sets; to provide backup/restore; and to perform software upgrades

Two COM ports - one for connecting your computer and enabling remote configuration, and one for adding a barcode reader, printer or other serial device
