The Yokota YS-e Battery System Wrench distributed by Ingersoll Rand is designed for manufacturers seeking better ergonomics for critical assembly applications. "The cordless Yokota YS-e Battery System Wrench delivers excellent ergonomics, increases productivity and has superior traceability for motor vehicle, truck, bus and heavy equipment manufacturers," said a company spokesperson.
Utilizing a sealed hydraulic pulse unit eliminates the torque reaction from the tool while in use. The tool is light weight at 4.3 lbs. The weight of the tool is evenly balanced to reduce operator fatigue throughout the workday.
Operators on the assembly line can easily use the tool with one hand. The cordless design eliminates trip hazards from hoses and cables. The high speed brushless motor produces minimal vibration and noise levels.
The Yokota YS-e is designed to enable users to engage fasteners more quickly, improving productivity. The motor is durable and brushless. It delivers 4,800 (RPM) of free speed. The Yokota YS-e is available in configurations with a 3/8" square or 1/4" quick-change output. The available torque range is 7-60 Newton meters on a hard joint.
The patented strain-gauge transducer is designed to capture rich rundown and trace data dynamically. The tool's patented angle encoder measures the degrees of rotation during fastening and detects abnormal fastening conditions. The tool transmits real-time cycle data to the wireless unit, which stores up to 10,000 records per tool and is easily accessible via USB. "Operators can easily achieve the desired tightening result to ensure work is done right every time," said the spokesperson.
Operators program the YS-e using the available programming console or from any device with an internet browser using a simple web-based interface that does not require a license. The Yokota wireless unit can communicate with four tools at once.
Operators do not need any special equipment to pair the tool with the wireless unit. A simple pairing process automatically connects the tool with the wireless unit to increase uptime. Once programmed, the tool wirelessly sends data back to the unit upon the completion of a tightening.
An integrated fan prevents the tool from overheating, helps maximize run time and increases the lifespan of the tool between services. The internal fan location protects dust from clogging the fan's intake while still providing heat reduction to the tool.
