Digital torque wrench offers accuracy, recordability of torque events
Hilti offered B2B editors a sneak peak at its coming SAW6AT torque wrench.
The unit uses a smartphone-sized “Brain” that slides on between the torque wrench and the 22-volt battery pack, empowering the tool to offer Mechanical Safe Set control for fastening torque accuracy.
With the system, users can scan the QR code on the Hilti fastener box and program the torque wrench to consistently deliver precise fastener torque. The unit signals when the fastener has been torqued correctly with a green light, auto-stops the tool and emits a tone.
When the unit is introduced, it will allow users or others to download torque records for building and certification documentation.
No official information is yet available on the tool, but more information about hilti tool technology can be seen at www.hilti.com.
