Fastening Tools

GP Electropneumatics offers Fastening Tools. This is available in straight, right angle and (a unique) push-to-start configurations. These tools have built in torque transducers. The torque delivered by the tool is dynamically measured by the transducer and through a closed loop microprocessor control, the tool is shut off when the desired torque is achieved. Angle control is attained through a resolver interfaced with the closed loop system. Advance strategies such as fastening to yield are achieved through algorithms. The new IR QE-IC series fastening systems are the realisation of an investment in innovation and technology that promises and delivers an unparalleled level of performance. The new QE-IC systems perform dramatically better than existing closed-loop DC platforms in improving productivity, reducing cost of ownership and maintenance, and offering a proven means of tightening critical assemblies. Tool: three motor platforms named the QE4, QE6 and QE8 include tools in angle, inline, push-to-start and pistol configurations. Productivity: faster speeds at torque; improved accuracy with sine drive technology; programmable momentary switch; and modular designs offer optimum flexibility. Ergonomics: lightweight design; compact package; comfortable grip surfaces and smooth contours; and low-force trigger and rotary reverse switch. Reliability: digital link between tool and controller; one-piece rugged chassis; improved gear and cable life; and non-contacting switches.
