These systems combine a telescoping torque arm with a position monitoring system to help ensure fasteners are installed in the correct location and sequence. ### Quick Answer EZ-Glider Position Control Telescoping Torque Arms support assembly tools, absorb torque reaction, and use position control to guide operators through the correct fastening sequence. --- ### Who This Is For - Manufacturing & process engineers - Assembly operators - Ergonomics and safety teams - Quality engineers - Automotive, aerospace, electronics, and general manufacturing - CX and Sales teams supporting assembly tools --- ### When Should You Use This? Use EZ-Glider Position Control Telescoping Torque Arms when: - Fastening location and sequence must be controlled - Assembly errors (missed or out-of-sequence fasteners) need to be reduced - Torque reaction from power tools must be absorbed - Operator ergonomics is a concern - Applications require **overhead mounting or vertical reach** - Consistent fastening process control is required --- ### When Should You NOT Use This? Do not use EZ-Glider Position Control systems if: - Position control or guided sequencing is not required - A basic mechanical torque arm is sufficient - Workspace does not allow mounting (rail, column, or overhead) - A simpler, lower-cost solution is preferred - No electronic system is desired --- ### How EZ-Glider Position Control Torque Arms Work EZ-Glider systems combine mechanical support with position tracking: - Tool is mounted to the telescoping torque arm - Arm absorbs torque reaction generated during fastening - Telescoping design allows vertical movement and extended reach - Position control system monitors tool location - System guides operator through the fastening sequence - Operator moves tool between predefined fastening points **Result:** - Improved fastening consistency - Reduced operator strain - Better control of fastening process --- ### Core Features - Telescoping arm design for vertical reach and compact use - Supports assembly tools and reduces torque reaction impact - Position control capability for guided fastening - Helps maintain proper tool positioning during use - Improves ergonomics by reducing operator fatigue - Designed for production and assembly environments --- ### Configuration Options - Telescoping arm sizes and reach ranges - Mounting configurations: - Overhead rail systems - Workstation or column mounting - Tool mounting options: - Tool holders - Clamps (size dependent) - Compatible with electric and pneumatic assembly tools ### Available Models (EZ-Glider Position Control Telescoping Torque Arms) **Available models include APC, LPC, and LAPC configurations:** - **APC models:** 260212–260218 - **LPC models:** 260219–260225 - **LAPC models:** 260226–260232 These models cover: - **30 N.m / 22.1 lbf.ft** - **80 N.m / 59 lbf.ft** - **140 N.m / 103.3 lbf.ft** - Reach ranges from **18.7"–37.5"** up to **46.4"–78.7"** **EZ-30T Series (30 Nm / 22.1 lbf.ft)** - EZ-30T LPC – Part #260219 (18.7"–37.5") - EZ-30T/1500 LPC – Part #260220 (25.8"–59") - EZ-30T/2000 LPC – Part #260221 (32.4"–78.7") **EZ-80T Series (80 Nm / 59 lbf.ft)** - EZ-80T/1500 LPC – Part #260222 (28.1"–59") - EZ-80T/2000 LPC – Part #260223 (34.6"–78.7") **EZ-140T Series (140 Nm / 103.3 lbf.ft)** - EZ-140T/1500 LPC – Part #260224 (36.5"–59") - EZ-140T/2000 LPC – Part #260225 (46.4"–78.7") --- ### Setup & Adjustment - Mount torque arm to overhead rail, column, or workstation - Attach assembly tool using appropriate holder or clamp - Adjust telescoping arm to required working range - Position arm for application-specific fastening points - Verify smooth arm movement and support - Confirm system is functioning correctly before operation --- ### Can It Be Adjusted Later? Yes: - Arm position can be adjusted - Telescoping range can be reset - Tool mounting can be changed - Workstation setup can be modified as needed --- ### Decision Guide **EZ-Glider Position Control vs Other Torque Arm Options** **Use EZ-Glider Position Control when:** - Guided fastening sequence is needed - Process consistency is important - Vertical reach or overhead mounting is required - Torque reaction needs to be managed - Ergonomics is a priority **Consider other options when:** - Flexible, multi-directional positioning is needed → ATS-Series - Extended horizontal reach is the priority → CTA-Series - Only basic torque reaction support is required - No position control is needed --- ### Use Cases (Real-World Examples) **General Assembly** **Problem:** Inconsistent tool positioning during fastening **Solution:** Telescoping arm supports controlled positioning Electronics Assembly **Problem:** Missed fastening locations during repetitive work **Solution:** Position-guided system helps direct operator workflow Production Workstations **Problem:** Operator fatigue from managing tool weight and torque reaction **Solution:** Torque arm supports tool and absorbs reaction forces --- ### Overhead Applications **Problem:** Limited workspace and need for vertical movement **Solution:** Telescoping design allows efficient use of vertical space --- ### Troubleshooting **Issue 1: Arm movement is restricted** - **Cause:** Improper mounting or obstruction - **Solution:** Verify mounting setup and clear movement path **Issue 2: Tool not properly aligned** - **Cause:** Arm not positioned correctly - **Solution:** Adjust arm to maintain proper alignment **Issue 3: Limited reach** - **Cause:** Telescoping range not fully adjusted - **Solution:** Reconfigure arm extension and mounting position --- ### Calibration & Standards - No traditional torque arm calibration required - Inspect arm regularly for wear and function - Verify proper mounting and safe operation - Follow internal safety and workstation guidelines --- ### Integration / Advanced Notes - Mechanical torque arm with position control capability - Designed for use with: - Electric assembly tools - Pneumatic assembly tools - Can be incorporated into production workstations - Supports consistent fastening processes --- ### Media & Supporting Content ![ezgliderpositelescopingarm\_01.mainview](https://mountztorque.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ezgliderpositelescopingarm_01.mainview.jpg?width=449&height=449&name=ezgliderpositelescopingarm_01.mainview.jpg) --- ### Related Content / Articles -
