Advanced tightening technology

The Nexo Cordless Nutrunner combines wireless capabilites with advanced tightening technology, a combination which the company believes has the potential to improve efficiency, cycle-times and data collection during the manufacturing process.

In operation, during each work step the integrated controller monitors the tightening and transmits the results over a wireless connection to a receiving station. Process reliability is said to be guaranteed even in radio dead spots by the tool’s ability to buffer the data and then transmit as soon as connection with the network has been re-established.

No external controls are required during operation as all necessary workings are integrated. In addition, the tool offers browser-based software which is available online and is easy to set-up with minimum training time required and with no additional software installation. Access to the browser-based software is independent of the operating system or terminal device.

Both power and control technologies are fully integrated into the new tool. Batteries can be exchanged during production with no time loss resulting from rebooting due to the 20 second stay-alive function. During the exchange of the battery pack, the integrated controller is powered by the lithium iron capacitor, enabling the tool to maintain communication during the exchange.
