Panasonic Power Tools
Manufacturers are finding that operators are injuring themselves by tripping over air hoses and electric tool cables. Switching to Panasonic Cordless Assembly Tools eliminates the safety hazards of air hoses and electric tool cables. An advantage of using cordless power tools is that they allow you to eliminate air hose and tool cable damage since they can be very abrasive when moved across a finished surface. Panasonic Cordless Tools reduce rework cost and lost production time. Reduce the overall assembly process time with production tools. Panasonic Assembly Tools automatically shuts-off and instantly provides the operator a visual for OK / NOK status indicating to move on to the next fastener. The highly visible LED light can be seen from the rear of the tool and helps the operator know whether to move on to the next fastener or stop and rework the product. Quality control is always looking to improve their products and reduce the amount of defects. By utilizing a wireless communication and connecting the tool to a Panasonic Assembly Qualifier, batch counting and line control can be incorporated to prevent defects from moving down the assembly line. Furthermore, torque data can be transferred via Zigbee communication to an Assembly Qualifier controller for data collection. With the use of a bar code scanner or PLC, the torque data can be married to a serial number for more detailed data collection. |

Laser technology to prevent slipping: Avoids slipping out of the screw head
This amazing effect is the result of Lasertip® treatment of the tip. An extremely rough surface hardened up to 1,000 Vickers is created so that the drive end literally “bites” into the screw head. This prevents time-consuming, and usually expensive, boring and avoids injuries and damage to surfaces caused by slipping out of the screw head.
Lower cam-out forces ensure even safer screwdriving action Due to the reduction of the cam-out effect (slipping) less contact pressure is required. Better fit in the screw head The sharp-edged laser grooves result in an extremely tight fi t between the screwdriver and the screw head. Lateral slipping out of slotted screws is also reduced to a large extent.
Advantages at a glance:
- Greater safety: Greater safety as a result of less slipping leading to less damage to screws and delicate surfaces.
- More power: More “bite” in the screw facilitates higher torque transfer.
- More speed: No need to re-set the screwdriver. Significant reduction of contact pressure
- Longer life: Laser treatment of the drive end extends the service life of the tool.
