The DEB Rig (Demonstration of Effective Bolting Rig) is designed to allow the instructor to demonstrate the basic important aspects of bolted joint assembly in as simple a fashion as possible. The proprietary software is either installed on the optional touch-screen computer or directly on the user’s laptop. Once installed, operation of the DEB Rig is as simple as plugging the USB cord into the computer and the desired demonstration station into the data logger. The software automatically displays the relevant data for the selected demonstration, enabling the trainees to observe important aspects of joint assembly, such as mechanical interaction, nut factor effects, proper lubrication, assembly patterns, assembly procedures and hydraulic assembly tools.
