The Desoutter B-FLEX series offers quality control, flexibility, and safety

Desoutter's B-FLEX series of angle and torque tools is available from Dobco.

Manufacturers around the world turn to Desoutter for top electric and pneumatic tools. One of Desoutter’s great products, available from Dobco Equipment, is its B-FLEX line of toque and angle tranducerized battery tools. The B-FLEX series is recommended for use in the aerospace, automotive, and agriculture sectors.

These tranducerized battery tools by Desoutter help boost productivity in assembly tasks, and their other notable advantages include quality control, high flexibility, and ergonomic safety.

Direct feedback for the operator

Desoutter manufactures more than two dozen types of standalone battery tools in the B-FLEX series, some of which have a pistol shape. Each one has smart embedded HMI, a high-resolution transducer, and a new motor specially built for battery tools. They enable user quality control through direct operator feedback, visible tightening results, and torque-control and angle monitoring. Ergonomic advantages include perfectly balanced grip design, user comfort, re-balancing with two different battery positions, and Ergostop technology to prevent repetitive strain injuries.

Among the notable features of B-FLEX angle-head battery tools: 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. Pistol-grip tranducerized battery tools have compatible 18/36-volt batteries, four-colour reporting LED, and a range from 1.5 to 17 nanometres.

The B-FLEX series comes with an error-proof quality-control system that requires no PC connection: users can directly and immediately see torque and angle tightening results and torque-control tightening strategies. Data to collect, battery level, and program settings are also visible. For unparalleled flexibility, an eDOCK for tool maintenance is available (connectable with a USB cable), and the non-contact trigger is dust- and oil-proof.

Both the angle-head and pistol-grip variations come in advanced designs.
