Atlas Copco has a new generation of cordless nut runners designed to support smart manufacturing and enhance assembly performance.

The XB range combines speed and precision, offering a solution for manufacturers beginning their transition towards Smart Integrated Assembly. The range includes two all-electric tools: the XCB, a mechanical clutch tool for standard applications, and the XTB, a torque transducer tool for quality-critical applications.

Designed for ease of use, the XB tools are ready to operate immediately after unpacking. Operators simply insert the battery, set torque preferences, and begin work. The tools feature an intuitive Human Machine Interface (HMI), enabling easy access to essential information. The system provides clear OK/NOK signals to help maintain tightening accuracy throughout the assembly process.

The XCB delivers minimum reaction force and re-hit detection, making it suitable for tightening multiple joints to the same torque. For applications involving varying torque levels and joint stiffness, the XTB offers multiple tightening programmes with torque control and angle monitoring to ensure precision.

The all-electric XB range provides cordless operation without compromising precision or power. This allows operators to move freely across workstations and access confined or hard-to-reach spaces.

Chandrashekhar Pathak, General Manager, Industrial Technique, Atlas Copco (India) Pvt. Ltd., said, “XB tools underscore our commitment to delivering next-generation assembly solutions that drive operational excellence. By integrating precision engineering with advanced digital capabilities and sustainability-led design, we enable manufacturers to elevate quality, optimise productivity and strengthen overall manufacturing performance while accelerating their transition toward more sustainable operations.”

The XB tools are designed for durability and operator comfort, featuring an ergonomic handle, lightweight construction, and calibrated balance to minimise strain during use. Easy to set up and intelligent in operation, the XB range offers manufacturers both flexibility and control for everyday assembly applications.
