# Positioning Systems

## ILG Positioning System

The Industrial Location Guidance (ILG) is an integrated, stand-alone error proofing system that offers high-level process security for applications ranging from simple to complex. ILG tracks the exact location of the tool relative to the fastening position, ensuring the correct fasteners are tightened to specification, in the proper sequence. Comprised of ILG software, positioning hardware and tightening controller, the system combines the functionality of a tightening system with position and process control. Typical applications for ILG include: low-volume, high-value component assembly, repairs stations, and flexible assembly cells.

The ILG offers:

- Improved quality through reduction in scrapped parts and implementation of forced order operation.

- Reduced job setup and programming time, resulting in reduced costs.

- Increased productivity due to improved operator efficiency.

## TPS Controller

With a TPS controller you are always sure that the operator is tightening the joints in the correct sequence and the correct position. The TPS controller works together with the SML/SMS T-series positioning torque arms or the SMC POSI L/ LA torque arms and tool controller. The TPS works with digital I/O’s for OK or NOK signals to the tool controller to determine the sequence and position of the tool. If the tool is out of position it will not be able start. As soon as it is in position it will be able to start. After a correct tightening with an OK signal from the tool/controller, the operator will receive an OK signal from the TPS and is able to start in the next position.
