A Pulse tool has the speed of an impact wrench with nearly the repeatability of a clutch based shut-off tool. Containing precision-machined parts the pulse unit is a sealed chamber that is filled with a formulated hydraulic fluid. Pulse blades with a custom designed precision roller push the fluid inside the rotating chamber generating hydraulic pressure that produces torque. Air power is the power source that spins the anvil and resistance against the fastener causes the pulse unit to activate.

Pulse tools are designed for safe, reaction free operation for various industrial assembly applications. Durability, power, speed, low noise decibels, minimal vibration and low torque reaction are key reasons for selecting a safe ergonomic pulse tool. For fastening applications a pulse tool will increase productivity, provide excellent ergonomics, reliability and quality.

Productivity
Rugged Pulse tools increase productivity and enhance product quality through precision torque control and user comfort. A lightweight pulse tool with more torque capability is an ideal tool for an operator. A pulse tool with a good power-to-weight ratio will enhance the cycle time for the operator with a high-speed rundown. The Flex Power Pulse tools, by Mountz Inc., feature a double chamber motor that allows the tool to quickly reach the required torque and increase productivity. The roller inside the pulse unit reduces friction, which increases power and allows the “pulse fluid” to last longer.

The Flex Power pulse tool features a unique “block valve” design to control the flow of oil and keep it on the designated path. The block valve improves the shut-off timing of the tool for better repeatability and reduced wear on the springs.

Other pulse tools have a shut-off mechanism that operates by the movement of steel ball and spring. For these pulse tools, the pressure inside the pulse unit could cause the spring to wear down quickly, which would impact the accuracy of the torque output and increase maintenance costs as well as downtime.

Mountz, Inc. introduces a new line of cordless screwdrivers to the lineup branded FlexPower by Mountz. Built for torque control and durability, the cordless torque tools are built around the 10.8V and 14.4V high capacity lithium-ion battery platforms. These rugged cordless assembly tools increase productivity and enhance product quality through precision torque control and user comfort. The cordless screwdrivers are ideal for applications where air or electric power is not easily accessible. The cordless torque screwdrivers automatically stop when the preset torque has been reached.

In the demanding fastening applications where speed and maneuverability are key assembly requirements, the cordless tools operate at lengthy periods between charges and are flexible for tight space applications. The FlexPower battery screwdrivers feature an ergonomic hand grip designed to improve control and reduce fatigue in long run applications.

The cordless screwdrivers are built with LED indicators that provide an audible and visual alarm signal for the operator as he/she achieves the preset torque value. The LEDs will provide a signal to the operator if the preset torque was not achieved, as well as provide an early warning of a low battery. Mountz, Inc. has improved the technology of cordless screwdrivers with an unique mechanism designed to automatically shut-off the tool when the battery has less than 25% of the charge, ensuring the quality of the fastening torque.
