New Tensor IxB Fastening Tools from Atlas Copco Will Transform Your Assembly Strategies
The IxB family of tools are all-new, light-weight, compact and ergonomic, designed to put freedom and flexibility in the hands of your operators. Three cordless electric models with over 100 different torque and drive options ensure optimum quality and user control.
The IxB’s built-in controller integrates directly into the Atlas Copco Ecosystem without an intermediate controller box, freeing up workspace, installation and capital. Just one Power Force 8 wireless controller can support 25 IxB tools for added savings. Imagine the impact to your plant and systems!
Best of all, you can start with a simple assembly station installation, test, and scale from there.
Three Smart Tool Models for Best Fit
There is a model and size ideally suited for your specific requirements:
- Tensor ITB-P – with a compact pistol-grip style that can be operated with one hand. It boosts productivity with multiple, configurable operator feedback choices: colored front LED, vibrator and embedded eHMI display.
- Tensor ITB-A – a best-pick model with 2x faster tightening and the widest range of models and tool accessories.
- Tensor ICB-A – a small, ergonomic nutrunner, specifically designed for space-limited applications.
The eHMI display puts faster control in the operator’s hand with feedback in real-time. As an operator moves through a selected tightening sequence, the eHMI guides the operator with OK/NOK signals, even offering corrections.
Delivering Measurable Impact Across Your Plant and Systems
The Tensor IxB platform enables major assembly station improvements and reduces costs associated with assembly tools. With Tensor IxB tools, you can increase productivity, ergonomics, and flexibility .
In today’s manufacturing environment of frequent change your plant and systems can experience:
- Installation times up to 2.5x faster
- Software updates – up to 70x times faster (for 100 tools)
- Connectivity strength – at least 2x better signal when measured against previous tools connected to a physical controller box.
Given the number of fastening applications you’re probably running, the IxB family can make a significant, measurable impact quickly. Your tool operators will agree, given the new ergonomic freedom. So it’s good news all around.
