[DEPRAG Clamp Force Control — an adaptive screwdriving procedure](
DEPRAG, Inc.
DEPRAG [Clamp Force Control]( (CFC) produces a consistent clamp force when prevailing torque values are fluctuating. This innovative adaptive screwdriving process works by recognizing head contact (seating point) and customizing screw assembly by applying differential torque or alternatively a defined angle.
DEPRAG CFC minimizes the impact of material and joint variations that would otherwise result in failed joints. When precision and performance matter, [DEPRAG CFC]( is a gamechanger; [watch the explanatory video](.

TECH ARTICLE
[]
[Operating principles for capacitive proximity sensors](
“Capacitive proximity sensors are used for non-contact detection of metallic objects and nonmetallic objects (liquid, plastic, wooden materials, and so on). Capacitive proximity sensors use the variation of capacitance between the sensor and the object being detected.” [Read this article in its entirety](.
