ATLAS COPCO ROLLS
OUT LOW REACTION
TOOL RANGE
EDITOR’S
CHOICE
Leading global manufacturer of
fastening solutions, Atlas Copco, has
launched a pioneering range of ‘Low
Reaction’ (LRT) tools.
The new line-up of battery and DC-
powered tools has been developed
specifically as part of Atlas Copco’s
Smart Connected Assembly
concept, to improve both operator
ergonomics and factory optimisation.
This includes a Transducer Battery
Pulse (TBP) based tool that features
a hydraulic pulse unit rather than
gears and an oil-filled chamber,
enabling higher torque of up to
55Nm with vibration levels below the
minimum standard. Delivering five
million pulses before maintenance
is required, operating performance
is up to five times longer between
service intervals.
For applications involving hard joints,
the integration of Atlas Copco’s
TurboTight® torque management
technology means that the tool,
rather than the operator, absorbs
the reaction force. Designed to avoid
operator influence, the new range
of tools also features Atlas Copco’s
TrueAngle® technology, which
uses a gyro signal to read operator
movement, thereby increasing the
accuracy of angle readings and
improving controlled tightening, as
well as avoiding damaged threads,
re-hits and premature shut-offs.
David Embley, General Manager,
Atlas Copco Tools UK, commented:
“Low reaction tooling with data
driven support services is a key part
of our vision to equip manufacturing
businesses with the solutions
they need. We look to maximise
productivity and increase customer
efficiency, whilst eradicating human
error and ensuring operator safety.”
