Smart Control Starts Here
Modern assembly requires more than accurate torque. Manufacturers need greater control over the entire fastening process—from torque and angle to production data, traceability, and automation.
The SUMAKE SMT-C3 Smart Controller brings these capabilities together in one intelligent fastening platform. Paired with compatible SMT-B Series transducer DC screwdrivers, the SMT-C3 allows manufacturers to control tightening parameters, monitor fastening results, store production data, and integrate fastening operations into automated assembly systems.
Whether you’re improving an existing production line or building a new automated assembly process, the SMT-C3 provides the control and flexibility needed for today’s manufacturing environments.
What Is the SMT-C3 Smart Controller?
The SMT-C3 is an advanced controller designed for Sumake transducer electric and angle-controlled screwdrivers. It provides operators with real-time control over critical fastening parameters while recording valuable fastening information at both the job and part level.
Instead of simply tightening a fastener to a preset torque, the SMT-C3 allows manufacturers to create controlled fastening programs based on parameters such as torque, angle, thread, and time.
This gives manufacturers greater visibility into each fastening cycle and helps ensure every assembly meets the required specifications.

Complete Fastening Process Control
Every fastening operation can affect the quality and reliability of the finished product. The SMT-C3 gives manufacturers greater control over how each fastener is installed.
Operators can create fastening profiles and associate those profiles with specific jobs. Depending on the application, the controller can manage final torque, torque-and-angle combinations, rundown sequences, screw counting, and part-level fastening information.
The result is a fastening process that can be monitored and verified instead of relying solely on the tool reaching a preset shutoff point.
Why Choose the SMT-C3?
The SMT-C3 combines fastening control, production monitoring, and automation capabilities in a single system.
- Torque & Angle Control – Monitor tightening parameters and verify fastening results for greater process control.
- Production Data & Traceability – Track and store fastening information at the job and part level.
- Programmable Tightening – Create customizable fastening programs for different assembly requirements.
- Screw Counting – Verify that the required number of fasteners have been completed before an assembly moves to the next manufacturing stage.
- Automation Ready – Control fastening operations remotely through a computer or PLC for automated and robotic applications.
- Network & Wi-Fi Enabled – Connect the controller to modern production environments and transfer valuable fastening information.
- Operator Control – Lock system settings to help prevent unauthorized changes on the production floor.
Built for Smart Manufacturing
As assembly operations become increasingly connected, fastening equipment needs to communicate with the rest of the production line.
The SMT-C3 is designed with automation in mind. The controller can be operated from its panel or integrated with a PC or PLC, making it suitable for both operator-controlled workstations and automated fastening systems.
This flexibility allows manufacturers to incorporate precision fastening into larger automation processes while maintaining control over critical tightening parameters.
Turn Fastening Data Into Production Insight
Fastening data can provide valuable insight into production quality.
The SMT-C3 can track and store fastening information and display tightening data, including torque curves. Tightening information can also be exported through methods including FTP and USB, providing manufacturers with additional options for quality records, process analysis, and traceability.
Instead of discovering a fastening problem during final inspection, manufacturers gain greater visibility into what happened during the actual tightening process.
Pair the SMT-C3 with a Transducer DC Screwdriver
The SMT-C3 is designed to operate with compatible transducer DC screwdrivers, including SUMAKE SMT-B Series tools. The connected screwdriver determines factors such as the available torque range and RPM, while the controller manages and monitors the fastening process.
Together, the screwdriver and controller create a complete fastening system capable of providing precise tightening control, process verification, production data, and automation integration.
Upgrade Your Assembly Process
When fastening quality matters, simply tightening a screw isn’t enough.
The SUMAKE SMT-C3 Smart Controller gives manufacturers greater control over every fastening cycle—from torque and angle monitoring to programmable jobs, production data, screw counting, and automated assembly integration.
For manufacturers looking to improve fastening consistency, traceability, and production control, the SMT-C3 provides an intelligent platform designed for today’s assembly environment.
