ZIPP Air Tools introduces new high power grinders

ZIPP Group has launched a new range of high power air tools for grinding applications. Master Abrasives, the UK distributor for ZIPP tools, is offering the 4 newly introduced die grinders from stock.

Andy Wright, Master Abrasives National Sales Manager, commented “the initial range of ZIPP grinders introduced to the UK was extremely popular across our customer base, from bodyshops through to heavier industrial sectors such as foundries. This is thanks to the cost-effectiveness of ZIPP Air Tools, as well as benefits such as higher performance and lower vibration than competitor’s models.”

“So far, ZIPP die grinders have been available in 0.3 Horse Power (HP) and 0.5 HP, ideal for general grinding and de-burring applications. The launch of these higher powered tools, which are 0.9 HP and 1 HP, provides the solution to the heavier duty grinding applications where additional torque is required.”

The ZDG-301 0.9 HP air die grinder is suitable for many automotive and industrial grinding, de-burring and finishing applications. The grinder can be used to clean dies, rotors, backing plates and brake pad mounts. It can also grind valve seats, dress welds and enlarge holes and is compatible with Master® shank mounted abrasive products such as mounted points and carbide burrs. By using 6mm or 3mm collets a wide range of grinding accessories can be used for a wide range applications.

The ZDG-301AL 3.5” 1HP air extension die grinder is an extended version. This new tool features an extended reach of 3.5″.

The ZDG-301L 5.5” 1HP model features a further extended reach of 5.5″ for application in hard-to-reach areas using Master Abrasives shank mounted range of abrasive products.

The ZDG-302 0.9 HP is the right angle die grinder version and again is suitable for de-burring and finishing applications. It is the ideal tool to use with abrasive quick change discs which are available in the Master® range of products.

These new models provide the highest durability in demanding applications and the increased power and torque make them the perfect choice for the more demanding grinding, de-burring and finishing applications

Master Abrasives technical sales representatives offer to demonstrate ZIPP Air Tools free of charge on request to show the capabilities of this cost-effective, high quality range.

Innovated Bolt Tightening Technology

Innovated Bolt Tightening Technology

Innovated Bolt Tightening Technology @ 2017 Stuttgart Fastener Fair

The most advanced Bolt Tightening Technology For Achieving the Most Accurate Bolted Joints Excellence

 

ZIPP GROUP will launch the most advanced bolt tightening technology at the upcoming Stuttgart Fastener Fair 2017 in Stuttgart this March from 28th – 30th. The new technology includes the Sensing Bolt, the Tagged Bolt, and the Torque Transducer with RFID Reader, the Transmitting Socket, and the Transmitting Cap, all capable of communicating with a Controller.

The Sensing Bolt is the bolt embedded with a strain gauge, an MCU, a battery and a wireless unit driven by a patented Transmitting Socket to keep transmitting the sensed strain signal to the Controller or Monitor wirelessly during bolting process. It provides the traceability of the bolt production, bolt assembly record, even the controllability of the bolting sequence. The clamping force of the Sensing Bolt can be monitored remotely through the Transmitting Cap after the bolt fastened. The effective transmitting distance of the Transmitting Cap is 15m~20m. It is to be placed every 15m~20m or even a custom-made more powerful one for longer distance transmission such as 1000M or longer to act as a Repeater for transmitting the sensed strain signal endlessly even in hard to reach areas.

The patented Transmitting Cap was developed to keep supplying battery power to the Sensing Bolt after fastened. It keeps transmitting the strain signal from the bolt to the peripheral receiver for monitoring the bolt tightening status remotely and periodically.

Another economic alternative solution is the patented Tagged Bolt along with the patented Torque Transducer with RFID Reader. It utilises the special features of the RFID Tag, readable and writeable for enabling to do bolting sequence control as well as outstanding traceability of bolt production and bolt assembly record.

Our new technology has been proven to be the ultimate solution for achieving the most accurate bolted joint tightness and monitoring its condition after assembly. It’s great for production control with the traceable record of bolt production, assembly and bolting sequence for the best of joint quality assurance and reliability.

Please visit our booth Hall: 5 Booth# 2436 at the show for a demonstration of our latest innovations and further discussion about how to apply or implement this new technology in your bolting works.

ZIPP Torque Control System

Innovated Bolt Tightening Technology

20170322

ZIPP Torque Control System – Industrial 4.0

Torque Sensing, Torque Control, Torque Verification, Ultimate Tightening Solution with Trace-ability of Fastener Production Record, Bolting Sequence Control, Bolting Record as well as Real Time Clamping Force Control and Remote Monitoring

By Using

TTE                              Torque Transducer

TTW                             Torque Tester

TF                                Test Fixture

TS                                Torque Simulator

TCA                             Torque Controller & patented Control Algorithm

TSS                             Torque Transducing Socket

TFM                             Torque & Force Monitor

SB+TSS+TC                Sensing Bolt + Torque Transducing Socket + Transmitting Cap

TB / TGC + TSS          Tagged Bolt / Tag Cell + Torque Transducing Socket

TTE-Torque Transducers set the standard accurate wireless dynamic torque measurement and torque monitoring of all continuous drive and intermittent impact torque tools.

A quality TTW-Torque Tester is important for torque tool manufacturers to audit the torque capacity of their products after production. It’s also required for operators to measure and verify if the tool is under proper condition.

Different from other Torque Testers, ZIPP Torque Testers work along with a Controller for Calibrating the torque under predetermined consistent air pressure and time duration.

TF – Test Fixtures are prepared for use with the TTE for torque test and calibration.

TS – Torque Simulators are prepared for simulating the torque for adjusting the output torque of the
torque tools.

TFM – Torque & Force Monitor, For use with TTE、 TSS or SB to display the sensed torque or clamping force induced by the torsion or stretch of the bolt.

TCA – Torque Controller designed with unique control algorithm for the ease of operation applicable to any type of impact or pulse tools,
No matter what the impact mechanism is.
No more sophisticated operation required. Easy set up in seconds by the guided teaching steps.
No more expensive torque control tools required.

Using with the TSS – Torque Transducing Socket for controlling the bolting torque selectively by torque or angle mode.

Further the use with the SB-Sensing Bolt for controlling the clamping force accurately and the TC – Transmitting Cap for keep supplying the power to the SB while transmitting the sensed clamping force data via the RF module wirelessly to the Controller、 peripheral devices or cloud server through IoT Gateway periodically for remote monitoring. This is the ultimate solution to ensure the most accurate bolted joint tightness.

There is a rather economic alternative to the SB~the TB or TGC which has a RFID or NFC Tag embedded on the end face of the bolt or nut.

Both of the SB or TB/TGC have the features of their production traceability with manufacturer ID, date of production, bolt material, the batch no., bolt grade and the maximum torque capacity, etc. as well as the bolted record, such as operator ID, the date of bolting and the clamping force induced or torque applied to the bolt, all recorded in the memory unit of the SB or the tag of the TB/TGC for verifying the joint quality after bolted and clarify the responsibility of the job to solve controversy if there is any.

Bolting sequence control is an important issue in the field for achieving the excellent joints of an assembly. Applying the combination of the TCA, the TSS and the SB or TB/TGC will make it easy to program the sequence, by reading the ID of each SB or TB/TGC during preloading the bolts clock-wise or counter-clockwise in sequence by the TSS, programmed simultaneously in the TCA. Then, the operator can start bolting from any bolt. The TCA will guide operator the direction and the bolting sequence step by step according to the predetermined sequence and rounds. It will not jump to the next bolt unless it is verified as the correct one and the target torque/force fulfilled as programmed. If otherwise, the TCA will not actuate the tool and alert immediately.
