Belt and suspenders method? - Or is it really safe with EC cordless screwdrivers?

Sometimes pants have to fit! And some control freaks will play it safe. Belt and suspenders at the same time?....egal! The main thing is not to stand there with your pants down. If one fastening system fails, another, redundant system provides the necessary security.

Some users of screwdriving technology are familiar with the feeling that their pants are down. Despite the use of high-quality, monitoring screwdriving technology, there are deviations in the process or failures of the tool sensors. In particularly critical applications, more frequent, recurring inspections are therefore also required for EC screwdrivers. This ultimately leads to high additional costs in testing and takes the tools out of the assembly process, at least in the short term...

But what if a hand-held cordless screwdriving system had two torque/rotation angle monitors instead of braces/belts? And so that at least the screwing process fits correctly in each case?

The TBxEC2 series has been the only screwdriving system in its class in the world to incorporate a rotating and a static torque sensor for years.

The rotating torque transducer acts as a master and controls the tightening process on the part of the tool in order to transfer the best possible precision to the bolted joint. Meanwhile, the static torque transducer monitors the results of the rotating transducer in real time to ensure that it is working perfectly.

The TBxEC2 therefore has a genuine redundant monitoring system, as both sensors actually work with different, clearly separated technologies. This is an essential requirement for redundancy, for example in power plant construction.

So what are the advantages over standard cordless EC screwdriving systems in the industry?

  • The hand-held tool can be used for tightening class A in accordance with VDI/VDE 2862 sheets 1 and 2 if the screwdriver is guided in a torque arm support, for example - one for all!
  • Maximum safety against deviation or failure of the master measuring system in the assembly process thanks to 100% tested screw connection - always reliably and reliably screwed!
  • Thanks to the internal redundancy of the screwdriver, the frequency of testing by the user can be drastically reduced - saving money and time
  • Simple, intuitive programming of the tool with cost- and license-free ToolManager software - Easy to use!
  • Up to 150,000 results and graphs from both sensors are documented and available for analysis - Full documentation
  • With built-in WLAN module, the tools can be easily connected to the company network. Optional, internal barcode reader facilitates job assignment, program selection and standard settings of tools in the network - Absolute connectivity
  • The EC2 series offers unsurpassed precision of ±7% at well over Cm>2.0/Cmk>1.67 according to VDI/VDE 2647, homologated and each tool with individual machine capability test according to VDI/VDE 2645 sheet 2, with ±7% at well over cm>2.19/cmk>1.85, tested and documented before dispatch - Unique precision.

This means that the TBxEC2 series is currently the only EC cordless screwdriving system that is approved for every screwdriving class and every application in accordance with VDI/VDE 2862 Sheet 1 and Sheet 2.

Have you ever stood there, figuratively speaking, with your pants down? Especially if you work in industries such as automotive, aerospace, energy or railway? Then arrange a non-binding test of these unique screwdriving tools.
