- Atlas Copco introduced XB cordless nut runners to support flexible and digitally enabled assembly operations.
- The new tools offer torque control, HMI configuration, and cordless mobility for modern manufacturing lines.
The Atlas Copco XB cordless nut runners have been introduced as part of the company’s effort to support modern smart manufacturing environments. Unveiled at the company’s Pune facility, the new product range consists of two cordless tightening tools designed for different assembly needs. The tools allow operators to quickly begin tightening operations by inserting the battery and configuring torque settings through an onboard Human Machine Interface, enabling faster integration into production lines.
Two Tool Variants for Different Assembly Requirements
The XB range includes two distinct models engineered to address varying levels of tightening precision and assembly complexity. The XCB variant is a mechanical clutch tool intended for standard assembly tasks, while the XTB model incorporates a torque transducer system suited for applications where tightening quality must be closely monitored. Both tools are positioned as practical entry solutions for manufacturers beginning to adopt connected and digitally supported assembly processes.
Torque Control and Real-Time Feedback Capabilities
The XTB model supports multiple tightening programs and provides torque control along with angle monitoring to manage joints with different stiffness and torque requirements. Through the integrated HMI, operators receive real-time OK or NOK feedback that confirms whether the tightening process meets defined specifications. The XCB tool additionally features re-hit detection technology and reduced reaction force characteristics to improve efficiency during repetitive fastening tasks on assembly lines.
Ergonomic Design and Mobility for Modern Production Lines
The Atlas Copco XB cordless nut runners also emphasize operator usability through lightweight construction, balanced ergonomics, and a cordless design that allows movement across workstations without cable restrictions. This mobility supports work in confined areas and improves flexibility in assembly layouts. According to the company, the tools reflect its broader approach of combining mechanical precision with digital functionality to enhance productivity, maintain tightening quality, and contribute to more sustainable manufacturing operations.
