How the XP-Series Works

The XP-Series uses compressed air to power a high-performance oil-free motor and precision automatic shut-off clutch.

During operation, the screwdriver:

Delivers compressed air to the oil-free motor.
Rotates the fastener until the preset torque is achieved.
Automatically shuts off at the selected torque.
Minimizes torque reaction, vibration, and operating noise.
Allows quick one-touch torque adjustment for fast setup.

Result:

Accurate torque control
Repeatable fastening performance
Reduced operator fatigue
Fast production cycle times
Long service life with reduced maintenance
