Novel Method of Removal and Tightening of Bolts

Traditional methods for large stud removal or tightening, such as hydraulic bolt tensioners and induction heaters, are cumbersome, require significant space and specialized power, and often cause damage to fasteners. This paper introduces a patented electric resistance bolting system for stud disassembly and tightening. The system is lightweight, easily transportable by hand, and utilizes readily available power sources, eliminating the need for extensive setup. Capable of simultaneously heating up to six studs, the new technology significantly reduces the time and cost associated with these operations compared to conventional techniques.
