Wireless Signal Hose Clamp Install Tool
Van F. Belknap has done it again with our newest tool and our first ever wireless signal product, the Belknap Wireless Signal Hose Clamp Install Tool. This tool was developed in conjunction with automotive manufacturers to decrease the number of potential warranty issues that would arise from improper hose clamp installation.
The VB-WBHCT, used in conjunction with our transceiver box (mounted in proximity to the work area), sends a positive signal to the Plant Floor Control System (or other assembly line control unit) whenever a hose clamp is released successfully. This signal is normally used to determine whether the part or assembly is ready to leave the work station.

Note: This tool only works with POPP style hose clamps (Pre-Opened, Pre-Positioned):
