SERIES ARTICULATING TORQUE ARM include a tool balancer? comes with a tool balancer(s). The ATS-15, ATS-25, and ATS-80 TORQUE ARM

models include 2 tool balancers, while the ATS balancer optimized for tools in the 40 N.m range. models include 2 tool balancers, while the ATS-40 model includes 1 medium-sized tool

Q2. Does a power tool emit torque reaction? A2. From low to high torque power tools generally produce an unwante that transfers to an operator’s hand. The torque arm is designed to absorb the torque reaction and improve operator safety. Q3. When an operator is using a power tool A3. The daily repetitive process of fastening screw after screw with a power tool can expose an operator to the risk of repetitive stress injury. The ergonomic arm takes the weight off a tool operator's arm and shoulders, allowing them to guide the tool instead of lifting it, which reduces the likelihood of repetitive motion injuries. power tool emit torque reaction? From low to high torque power tools generally produce an unwanted torque reaction Q3. When an operator is using a power tool is there a risk of repetitive type injuries? process of fastening screw after screw with a power tool can ch reduces the likelihood of repetitive motion injuries.

Q4. Can the torque arm be used with either an electric or pneumatic screwdriver? A4. Yes, the torque arm is compatible with both electric and pneumatic screwdrivers. Each torque arm model has a maximum torque capacity that it supports. Select the torque arm that supports the torque setting for the power tool's fastening application. Yes, the torque arm is compatible with both electric and pneumatic screwdrivers. Each torque arm model has maximum torque capacity that it supports. Select the torque arm that supports the torque setting for the power

Q9. Can the articulating torque arm be used to ensure there are no missing screw occurrences or unfinished rundown occurrences during the assembly process? A9. No, you would need to purchase a position control torque arm equipped with position encoders for that error- proofing process.

Q10. Can the articulating torque arm's reach length be adjusted? A10. Yes, the torque arm's reach length can be adjusted by changing the arm's setting position on its arm support slider. The ATS 25, 40, and 80 models also feature three arm angle settings to accommodate larger tools.

Q11. Does a torque arm help prevent cross-threading or side load from occurring during the fastening process? A11. Yes, the torque arm improves process control by preventing cross-threading and sideload occurrences by keeping the power tool perpendicular alignment.
