Number of tools used

Number of tools used indicates the number of tools required to perform an assembly.

Explanation

If different size fastening elements are used to fasten a component, this normally requires the use of more than one tool.

Example:

If a component is fastened with 1 M8 bolt and 1 M6 bolt (differing wrench sizes), this requires the use of 2 wrenches. For this, the frequency "2" is entered in the "Number of tools used" column.

Note:

Only tools that change the component themselves (e.g. joining and surface technologies) are evaluated. Grippers are not analyzed additionally as tools.
