New BRALO riveting tool for insert nuts BRALO Group has launched the BNT-N, a new oleo-pneumatic riveting machine for insert nuts, as part of its range of pneumatic riveters – known for their resistance, reliability and lightness.

igh performance and productivity are just some of the characteristics of the BNT-N, which BRALO points out is a machine that has been manufactured with more resistant and highly durable parts – providing the tool with greater reliability and speed in the setting of insert nuts from M3 to M10, as well as M4 to M8 stud nuts and UNC metric nuts. Thanks to its regulating valve with a colour system, the user can adjust the pulling force of each nut depending on the thickness of the application. BRALO also highlights that a comfortable and easy system, shown in the instruction manual, offers the ability to rivet the same nut in applications of different thicknesses without the need to reregulate the pulling force. The BNT-N has been designed with the comfort of the operator in mind, since its automatic threading system facilitates the placement of the nut on the male being adjusted before inserting it into the application. In addition, the ergonomics in its design and the balanced weight favour operator comfort, especially for continuous work on assembly lines. Safety is also a key focus for BRALO, which is why the company has reduced the weight, noise and vibrations levels of this new tool – making it ideal for professionals and workers on assembly lines in the automotive, air conditioning, fencing, and lifting systems, among other industries. www.bralo.com
Atlas Copco launches first fully integrated smart tool range Atlas Copco Tools and Industrial Assembly Solutions has launched a brand new tool range with inbuilt controllers – the Tensor IxB family. This collection of ergonomically designed cordless industrial tools share an integrated controller platform, making it the first generation of Atlas Copco products to feature internal controllers. hallenging the current factory set-up, which has tools linked to a separate digital controller processing data from each operator unit, the wireless Tensor IxB range does not require a standalone controller. This enables the data management platform to run directly from the tools themselves, which can be integrated into the manufacturer’s production system. Each tool can be set-up with different tightening programs, positioning tags and socket selectors, which include tool heads with 360 degree rotation for tackling difficult and critical tightening applications. A virtual copy of the integrated controller settings and data backup is recorded on a smartcard, which can be moved between tools. This provides flexibility to the assembly line, for setting up new stations and rebalancing existing ones, as well as reducing the risk of human error. “In response to regulatory and technological demands that impact how new factories are designed and operated, the launch of Atlas Copco’s Tensor IxB platform continues to reinvent the assembly process by enabling customers access to a tool family that is lighter, faster and smaller, yet delivers the same, powerful performance of cabled digital tools,” commented James McAllister, general manager at Atlas Copco Tools and Industrial Assembly Solutions. “By delivering increased flexibility and smart manufacturing capability from tools, which can be integrated directly into the production system, customers can increase efficiency, reduce their need for additional hardware, and equipment, as well as reduce energy consumption.”
