The E-LIT line comprises more than two dozen designs of wireless torque tools built to optimize any assembly process.

A variety of battery clutch tools

The Desoutter E-LIT series consists of 32 battery clutch tools based on four basic designs, featuring electronic brushless motors, electronic brushless speed settings, or communication with a specially designed E-LIT box. Optional accessories include Li-ion batteries, chargers, protective covers, tool holsters, and other miscellaneous items.

Notable features of a standard E-LIT torque tool from Dobco include the following items:

• clear visual feedback with LEDs, for rehit protection, battery charge levels, and low-battery shutoff;
• high-sensitivity clutch with exceptional accuracy;
• maintenance-free, non-contact trigger with a soft and easy touch;
• one-touch reverse button, for either hand;
• ergonomic handle with a perfectly balanced grip design; and
• two battery positions, for optimal access in tight areas and overhead applications.

The E-LIT box offers wireless communication between itself and the torque tool, with fast reconnection time and low consumption. Its connection features include an integrated 24-volt power-supply switch, a USB port that supplies an easy and quick connection to setting software, and two M12 connectors: a male, 24-volt power supply with four digital inputs, and a female connector with eight digital outputs. For Poka-Yoke applications, the box offers OK/NOK management, up to four batch settings, a batch-count strategy, and cross-thread prevention.

Pairing each E-LIT tool with the E-LIT box is an easy process. The user simply presses the “Easy Pairing” button, then powers on the box. Next, the tool trigger and reverse should be pressed while the battery pack is inserted, and the system is ready to go.

For the future of pneumatic assembly systems, invest in Desoutter’s E-LIT wireless torque tools.
