Angle and torque tools by Desoutter boost productivity in assembly

The B-FLEX series of tranducerized battery tools

For more than a century, Desoutter has been a dominant name in the field of electric and pneumatic tools – which are available in Canada via Dobco Equipment. A key product that comes highly recommended for use in the aerospace, automotive, and agriculture industries is the B-FLEX series of tranducerized battery tools. These angle and torque tools offer such notable user benefits as quality control, high flexibility, and ergonomic safety.

An error-proof quality-control system

Desoutter makes more than two dozen models of these angle and torque tools, which help to boost productivity in assembly applications. Some of the standalone battery tools in the B-FLEX line have a pistol shape, and each one has smart embedded HMI, a high-resolution transducer, and a new motor built specifically for these kinds of instruments. They allow user quality control through direct operator feedback, visible tightening results, and torque-control and angle monitoring.

Another distinguishing trait of the B-FLEX series is its ergonomic advantages. These tools are made with a perfectly balanced grip design, user comfort, re-balancing with two different battery positions, and Ergostop technology, all to prevent repetitive strain injuries in users. Other major features of these angle and torque tools from Dobco:

• long-life, spiral-cut bevel gears;
• torque transducer accuracy;
• patented non-contact and effort trigger;
• password protection;
• 36-volt Li-ion battery technology; and
• a range from five to 95 nanometres.

Tranducerized battery tools with pistol grips have compatible 18/36-volt batteries, four-colour reporting LED, and a range from 1.5 to 17 nanometres. Both the angle-head and pistol-grip models come in advanced designs.

Each tool in the B-FLEX series has an error-proof quality-control system with no need for a PC connection. The user can directly, immediately see torque and angle tightening results and torque-control tightening strategies, as well as data to collect, battery level, and program settings. Desoutter also offers an eDOCK for tool maintenance, connectable with a USB cable, for unmatched flexibility; the non-contact trigger is oil- and dust-proof.
