B-FLEX battery tools by Desoutter boost productivity in assembly tasks

Desoutter's B-FLEX transducerized battery tool

Desoutter has manufactured innovative electric and pneumatic assembly tools for more than a century, and its product lineup is available from Dobco Equipment Ltd. A key example of these solutions is the B-FLEX series of torque and angle transducerized battery tools – offering user benefits like quality assurance, high flexibility, and ergonomic safety.

Designed to boost productivity in assembly tasks, these Desoutter tools are recommended for use in the aerospace, automotive, and agriculture sectors.

Prevention of repetitive strain injuries

The B-Flex series consists of more than two dozen models of standalone battery tools, some of which have a pistol shape. Each of these torque and angle solutions includes smart embedded HMI, a high-resolution transducer, and a new motor built specifically for battery tools. These devices from Dobco allow user quality control through direct operator feedback, visible tightening results, and torque-control and angle monitoring.

Among the ergonomic advantages of these tools are perfectly balanced grip design, operator comfort, re-balancing with two different battery positions, and Ergostop technology that prevents repetitive strain injuries. Other major features of these transducerized battery tools include the following:

• Long-life, spiral-cut bevel gears.
• Password protection.
• Patented non-contact and effort trigger.
• Range from five to 95 nanometres (nm).
• Thirty-six-volt Li-ion battery technology.
• Torque transducer accuracy.

The B-FLEX series with pistol grips also has compatible 18/36-volt batteries, four-colour reporting LED, and a range from 1½ to 17 nm.

Every tool in this family comes with an error-proof quality-assurance system, with no required PC connection. Operators can directly, immediately see torque and angle tightening results and torque-control tightening strategies; they can also see data to collect, battery levels, and program settings. An eDOCK for tool maintenance, connectable with a USB cable, is available for unsurpassed flexibility, and the non-contact trigger is dust- and oil-proof. Both the angle-head and pistol-grip variations come in advanced designs.
