Kenosha, Wis., June 2, 2015 – Lighter. Faster. Smaller. No, it’s not the newest generation of aircraft, but rather a tool designed to keep them in the air.
The new ControlTech (CTECH) Aluminum Industrial Electronic Torque Wrench from Snap-on Industrial is durable and lightweight – making it the ideal tool for the aviation and aerospace industries.
The 1/4" Drive ControlTech (CTECH) Aluminum Industrial Electronic Torque Wrench weighs just one pound, a weight comparable to mechanical micrometer torque wrenches, yet it provides instant data on the exact torque actually applied – something mechanical wrenches can’t do. Aircraft technicians often apply torque to multiple fasteners in overhead applications. The CTECH’s lightweight design reduces fatigue and enables more precise, reliable torque application in repeated use.
Key performance features of the ControlTech Aluminum Electronic Torque Wrench deliver significant benefits:
• Torque and angle combo modes provide the most accurate and fastest way to achieve torque, plus angle, in a single motion
• Built in calibration factor for different extensions and adapters
• Accurate to +/- 2% clockwise, +/- 3% counterclockwise
• Dual side LED indicator lights with configurable settings provide operational guidance
• Adjustable +/- angle and/or torque tolerance from +/- 1 to +/- 10%; this allows to change the green LED target acceptance criteria
• Easy-to-read LCD screen, LED indicator lights; audible beep and handle vibration work together to signal when torque is within the targeted range
• Dual 80® ratchet gear technology provides precise yet strong ratchet function with minimal ratcheting arc and very little lost motion, allowing you to ratchet in tighter areas
Additional features of the ControlTech Aluminum Electronic Torque Wrench include:
• Calibration interval features – a real-time on-board clock in the PCBA allows operators and tool crib personnel to accurately schedule calibration
• 50 memory presets with batch count; presets can be locked to prevent inadvertent changes
• Job mode allows for stringing together multiple pre-set values (PSETS) for applications that require multiple torque and/or angle sequences
• Fully programmable for reliable, consistent, repeatable torque application
• High capacity memory for storage of 1,500 readings
• Time stamped data trail for quality control, job auditing and torque verification
• USB plug and play technology allows data download without additional software
• Selectable languages include English, Spanish, French and German
• Custom preset password capability
• Industry-leading two year warranty
