WERA: Now offering drill and screwdriver bits from one source

2008-05-07T07:19:00.000-07:00

The tool specialist for screwdrivers and bits Wera Werk Hermann Werner GmbH & Co. KG has presented its new special ranges at Practical World 2008. Because screwdriving and drilling are often two interlinked processes Wera now provides its users on the craft and industrial sectors with various drill bits and combined drill and screwdriver bit sets. The company is therefore expanding its product range in the field of drilling applications. The range now includes a nineteen-piece set of metal twist drill and screw bits and an eighteen-piece set of wood twist drill and screw bits. Both sets come in practical bags with velcro flaps. The user then has a convenient set of drill and screwdriving tools within easy reach. Besides these combined sets Wera also offers special drill bits for the most diverse requirements, e.g. combined tap and core drills, countersinks, practical sets of HSS stepped drills, etc.All sets are delivered complete with Wera’s patented Rapidaptor quick release mount. This can be inserted in cordless and electric screwdrivers as well as in the chucks of electronic drilling machines. This universal mount greatly accelerates bit changes without auxiliary tools. The bit is simply pushed into the receiver and engages automatically as soon as it is placed in the screw or at the drilling point. In addition, the user can control drilling or screwdriving reliably by holding the tool’s free turning activation sleeve – a great help when positioning on the screw or drilling point. Consequently, slipping and therefore possible damage to the workpiece can be eliminated.

Ingersoll Rand Launches IQv Series Cordless Tools and Technologies

2008-04-29T11:44:00.000-07:00

Ingersoll Rand, a recognized global leader in technology, tools and solutions, unveils a new series of cordless tools engineered specifically for professionals who demand peak power and durability. Featuring patented IQv technology, the IQv Series is comprised of a broad range of cordless tools, including the compact W040 1/4" quick-change Impactool, the versatile W150 3/8" Impactool and the powerful W360 1/2" Impactool. IQv Series tools also include two best-in-class drill / drivers the 19.2-volt D650 and 14.4-volt D550. IQv technology was designed to deliver improved performance and longevity of cordless tools and batteries, said Christian Corrigan, global marketing manager at Ingersoll Rand Productivity Solutions. For the customer, this means cordless tools that are lighter and more powerful, and batteries that require significantly fewer replacements over the life of the tool. Enhanced Performance Since 1934, when Ingersoll Rand developed the first pneumatic impact wrench, engineering expertise has focused on building durable impact mechanisms and geartrains to maximize power for reliable tool operation.The IQv Series cordless tools combine the same precision engineering with efficient battery technology to provide the best power per volt available. This means that more power is generated from smaller, lighter and lower voltage batteries. When compared to leading competitive brands, the IQv Series cordless tools have up to 110 percent better power-to-weight ratios and provide up to 40 percent better maximum reverse torque. Industrial-grade Tool Durability In addition to power, the new cordless tools match shop / plant requirements with industrial-grade engineering for tough, heavy-duty jobs. All IQv Series cordless tools are engineered with composite housings to deliver maximum structural strength with minimum weight. The composite housings protect against damaging chemicals and fluids common in shop or plant environments and are reinforced with a patented metal design that provides extra strength for excellent drop resistance. We spent a lot of time trying to understand both our customers and competitors in order to build the best cordless tools available, said Corrigan. In developing the IQv Series tools, we looked at products and programs that would change the way cordless tools are perceived and provide real value for our customers. Ingersoll Rand IQv Series cordless tools utilize a new battery interface to lock the battery securely in place. With competitive designs, batteries can be difficult to use and even fall out when mounts and clips become damaged. The new line of cordless tools employs the IQv Grip, a patent-pending twist-to-lock design that grips the battery into the tool, providing superior holding strength. Revolutionary Battery Technology To support the new line of tools, Ingersoll Rand partnered with global leaders in electronics and battery technologies to produce the IQv cordless power system, delivering the most advanced battery technology available. IQv technology makes it possible to have one charger that charges all voltages and chemistries, including nickel-cadmium and lithium-ion batteries from 7.2-volts to 19.2-volts. IQv technology gives cordless tool systems intelligence not found in typical systems, said Corrigan. The ability for batteries and chargers to communicate opens the door for dramatically improved performance, longevity and compatibility. The IQv charger automatically detects battery voltage and chemistry and chooses the correct charge algorithm. By reading the battery, the charger can optimize its charge to improve performance and longevity. The chargers renew feature deep cycle restores the battery to like-new condition and calibrates onboard battery electronics. For nickel-cadmium batteries, the renew feature eliminates memory effect, extending the usable battery life up to five times and significantly decreasing the number of replacement batteries over the life of the tool. Commitment to Customer Satisfaction Ingersoll Rand backs IQV Series cordless tools with the industry-leading IQV Warranty with registration. This includes a one-year, hassle-free tool and charger replacement; a two-year or 1,000 charges limited battery warranty; and a three-year limited warranty on tool and charger. We realize that our customers are professionals who need their tools to do their jobs, said Corrigan. The IQv Warranty is a way for us to share our confidence in the quality of our products and make sure we keep our customers satisfied. IQv Series cordless tools also offer convenience and savings. Unlike standard cordless combo kits, Ingersoll Rand offers the IQv Series cordless tools individually. Users may choose from an extensive line of cordless tools, batteries and accessories, buying only what is needed, which can dramatically reduce the cost of ownership.

Right Angle Tool is Right On for Error Proofing

2008-01-13T15:46:00.000-08:00

Error proof fastening technology is right on the mark with a new series of CP/CP Techmotive right angle electric screwdrivers.

A small right angle head has been melded to the already streamlined aluminum handle of the SD25 screwdriver to deliver the same torque as its in-line predecessors. The right angle screwdriver comes in 10, 20, 35 and 50 in-lb (160, 320, 500 and 800 in-oz) models, each capable of ISO 5393 Class “A” precision. With its slim 1 -1/8 inch diameter and low weight – just 1.5 lb / 0.68 kg – the right angle SD25 screwdriver can help reduce operator fatigue during fastening repetitions.

LEDs give rundown status on in-line, right angle SD25.
Colored lights near the tool collar clearly indicate process acceptance or failure, and also signal when the tool is in reverse mode. The operator can quickly change tool rotation direction and select up to 32 unique fastening parameters via pushbuttons atop the handle.

The CS2700 Controller date stamps each rundown as it captures torque and angle results. The powerful Visual Supervisor (VS) software program easily permits collection and graphing of rundown data, calculation of statistical process control information, and tracking of event, for example, whenever the tool is changed or the process is adjusted.
All models of SD25 screwdriver are used in various industries to ensure precision fastening, collect process data and eliminate assembly errors. Simply put, the SD25 delivers factory proven error proof fastening for light torque applications that are too demanding for traditional DC electric tools.

SD25 Right Angle Models All right angle SD25 Screwdriver models are lever actuated. Modelsending with P2 include a 1/4-in square drive with pin detent. Modelsending with Q2 include a 1/4-in hex quick change chuck into whicha driver bit is inserted. SD25 electric screwdrivers combine theprecision of fully transducerized operation, state-of-the-art intelligent tool technology and factory proven software to provide an error proof fastening solution for light torque assembly.

Potential Applications The SD25 Screwdrivers may be used for threaded fastening of:

• Electronic components

• Vehicle dashboards, interiors, headlights

• Motorcycles and bicycles

• Appliances

• Fishing rods

• Furniture

• Wherever the accurate application of light torque is mandated

SD25 In-line Models In-line SD25 Screwdriver models may be ordered with trigger lever start functionality (LAQ2 suffix), push-to-start functionality (PAQ2 suffix) or both trigger lever and push-to-start functionality (BAQ2). All types include a 1/4-in hex quick change chuck into which a driver bit is inserted.

Lou Zampini & Associates would like to present to you The Standard Posco System

2007-11-19T09:02:00.000-08:00

CP is excited to provide advance notice of the release of the standard Posco system. This system is designed to improve the productivity of your workplace by increasing reliability in fastening operations.

What is the Posco system?
The Posco is a sequencing and positioning system that allows you to ensure the correct positioning and parameters for each step in a fastening operation. If, for example, you had an operation with six steps, and each fastener had a different torque requirement, the Posco system, coupled with an EB tool and controller, would allow you to be absolutely certain that the operation was being carried out correctly every time. For each step, the Posco would select the correct torque value for the tool, and would not allow the tool to run until it was in the correct position. Talk about reliability!

How does it work?
The Posco500 box is the central hub, where the operation is programmed. It communicates with a positioning arm, which holds the tool, and can monitor the tool's position on the X (linear) axis, the Y (rotary) axis, or on both axes. The Posco500 also communicates with a controller to determine the correct torque strategy for the current sequence in the operation. Once the tool is in the correct position, and the correct torque strategy is selected, the Posco500 allows the tool to actuate, thus guaranteeing correct fastening.

Is it difficult to use?
No. The Posco500 box is simple to program, and does not even require any additional software; everything you need to program a Posco system is included in the Posco500 box. Once the box has been programmed, the system is ready to use and you will have sequencing control in your operation, regardless of how often the operator changes.

Will this really help?
Absolutely. A Posco system is another step in ensuring correct fastening in any application. Our EB tools and controllers do an excellent job of ensuring that a fastener is tightened correctly. Now with a Posco, you can ensure that the correct fastener is being tightened, no matter what. This system will greatly improve the reliability of your fastening operation.

Can I only use a Posco system with an EB tool?
A Posco system can be used with any type of tool: EB tools, low voltage electric screwdrivers, or even air tools. When using a Posco system with an air tool, we have a solenoid valve available that cuts off air flow to the tool until it is in the correct position that you specified.

What else is available as part of a Posco system?
The Posco system's modular design allows you to add features as they are needed, above and beyond a basic Posco500 box and positioning arm. These features include an LED module, a bit tray, and I/O expansion, which doubles the amount of available digital I/O. With the Posco system, the possibilities are endless!

Wera Ringmagnet Rapidator

2007-03-09T11:54:00.000-08:00

Hermann Werner GmbH & Co. KG presented an important innovation for craftsmen working in wood. The screwdriver and screwdriver insert specialist is offering the Rapidaptor® quick release bit holder which they developed and patented, now also with a ring magnet.
The ring magnet construction means that long and heavy screws, such as those frequently used in indoor extensions, can now be held securely on the bit, even in awkward installation situations. The working principle is simple and effective: When a screw is placed on the bit head, the ring magnet attracts a floating sleeve onto the screw head. The strong magnetic force holds the screw securely. There is no longer any need to hold the screw manually during the screwing operation. Losing screws and looking for them laboriously after they have fallen are now things of the past.
A further advantage is that the bit is always inserted into the screw to its maximum depth of penetration thanks to the ring magnet construction. This achieves maximum positive drive, and thereby the highest possible transfer of force. The perfectly snug fit further prevents premature wear to the bit and screw.

Fully heated and air conditioned, the trailer is equipped with concession-style swing up doors. It quickly converts into a comfortable, fully functioning mobile display and demonstration centre. Inside, to enhance presentations, are a flat panel display, audio system and tool storage area. An onboard power generator and compressor will help in Franzwa’s demos of CP automotive tools. The trailer’s two Skidmore-Wilhelm torque testers are available for showing the performance advantages offered by the CP 7750 Turbo 2.0 and other products.“CP customers are telling me the Team Truck concept is a great idea, they appreciate our increasing visibility and how we’re promoting our products for the automotive market,” Franzwa said. He knows what he’s talking about. Franzwa spent seven years in the air tools repair business before joining Chicago Pneumatic. His expertise extends to tool repair, use and application. CP officials expect the work of the inaugural Team Truck will strengthen the company’s connections to end users and mobile and stationary jobbers. They hope it will evolve into a major builder of the CP brand throughout distribution channels. Depending on response to the first campaign, Chicago Pneumatic will consider sending out additional Truck Teams in the future. Chicago Pneumatic engineers, manufactures and markets a complete line of automotive air tools, cordless tools and electric tools. Founded in 1901, Chicago Pneumatic offers innovation representing the best thinking and design in the market place. As the company enters its second century, CP is rededicating itself to providing the best in design, ergonomics, improved quality systems and increased performance built on a platform of a century of knowledge.
