Portable Electric Tools: Panasonic EYFGA Cordless Clutch Tools
Panasonic introduces a new series of six clutch tools to its line-up of cordless assembly tools. Designed with advanced features and exceptional durability, the new EYFGA Series of Precision Cordless Clutch Tools provide greater accuracy and repeatability, and are capable of programmable speeds, detecting cross threads, rehits, and error proofing.
The new EYFGA Series of Precision Cordless Clutch Tools include three clutch tools with error proofing capability and three clutch tools with operator OK/NOK indications both visual and audible.
All models feature a programmable LED work light and are powered by two battery options a 2.0 Ah lightweight battery pack or Panasonic’s 4.2Ah Lithium Nickel high capacity batteries – the highest rated battery capacity in the cordless tool market.
“Our tools are designed with ergonomics, durability and accuracy in mind, allowing users to work faster and safer. The introduction of these new cordless clutch tools provide advanced solutions for manufacturing engineers to reduce costs while increasing productivity,” said John Olson, Group Manager Panasonic Power Tool Division.
Panasonic developed this line of cordless assembly tools to meet the growing demand for ergonomic tools on the factory floor. The light weight balanced design, cushioned grip and minimal torque reaction, helps to reduce operator fatigue; therefore, creating a better work environment.
Panasonic’s New EYFGA Series of Precision Cordless Clutch Tools are intelligent, ergonomic, repeatable and accurate. The tool design incorporates a comfortable grip, weight balanced with minimal torque reaction weighing less than 3.5 lbs.
The fast acting clutch and a photo interrupter (non-contact switch) shuts off the tool immediately giving the tool its accuracy and repeatability.
The optional downshift feature can increase accuracy by slowing the tool down just before final torque. Other programmable features include adjustable rundown speeds, cross thread reduction, cross thread / rehit detection, and programmable maintenance intervals. The possibilities for this energy efficient tool make it ideal for any manufacturing assembly process.
