Kistler integrates force sensors into the tool holder of electromechanical joining systems

Winterthur, June 2026 – Kistler is presenting electromechanical joining systems that transmit measurement data wirelessly via advanced telemetry – for even more accurate results and precise process monitoring. In the new 2164A NCFx Pro joining modules, users can choose between two sensor technologies: a piezoelectric force sensor with an especially wide, flexible measuring range and increased overload protection, or a strain-gauge-based (DMS) force sensor. Both sensors are integrated directly in the tool holder of the servo press – right where the joining force is applied. Compared with their predecessors, the new joining modules are slimmer, faster and optimally designed for future functional enhancements such as predictive maintenance. The NC electromechanical joining modules are also available as an angled design for limited installation spaces.
