Featuring an oil-free air motor, precision automatic shut-off clutch, and compact right-angle head, the XP-Series delivers reliable fastening performance while improving accessibility and operator comfort. ### Quick Answer The XP-Series Right Angle is a line of pneumatic screwdrivers designed for medium- to high-volume production fastening applications where space is limited. Featuring a high-performance oil-free air motor, precision automatic shut-off clutch, one-touch torque adjustment, and ergonomic right-angle design, the XP-Series provides accurate torque control, reduced vibration, and continuous-duty performance for industrial assembly operations. --- ### Who This Is For - Manufacturing engineers - Process engineers - Quality engineers - Assembly operators - Automotive manufacturers - Aerospace manufacturers - Electronics manufacturers - General industrial assembly facilities --- ### When Should You Use This? **Use the XP-Series Right Angle when:** - High-volume pneumatic fastening is required - Fasteners are located in confined or difficult-to-access areas - Accurate, repeatable torque is important - Continuous-duty production is required - Reduced operator fatigue is desired - A right-angle screwdriver provides better access than an inline or pistol grip tool --- ### When Should You NOT Use This? **The XP-Series Right Angle may not be the best choice when:** - Programmable fastening is required - Torque-angle monitoring or traceability is needed - Cordless operation is preferred - Open work areas are better suited for inline or pistol grip screwdrivers - Automated robotic fastening is required For programmable fastening or data collection, consider the Mountz ECT-Series, HD-Series, or YF-Series. --- ### How the XP-Series Works The XP-Series Right Angle uses compressed air to power a high-performance oil-free motor and precision automatic shut-off clutch. **During operation, the screwdriver:** - Uses compressed air to power the oil-free motor. - Rotates the fastener through the compact right-angle head. - Automatically shuts off when the preset torque is reached. - Allows quick one-touch torque adjustment. - Minimizes torque reaction, vibration, and operating noise for improved operator comfort. **Result:** - Accurate torque control - Repeatable fastening performance - Improved access in tight spaces - Reduced operator fatigue - Reliable continuous-duty operation --- ### Core Features - High-performance oil-free pneumatic motor - Precision automatic shut-off clutch - Compact right-angle head for restricted work areas - One-touch torque adjustment - Torque adjustment cover to prevent tampering - Ergonomic soft-texture grip - Reduced noise and vibration - Low torque reaction - Lightweight aluminum alloy housing - Four color-coded torque identification rings included - Continuous-duty production operation - Multiple torque ranges and RPM options --- ### Configuration Options | Configuration | Best For | | --- | --- | | XP35A | Precision low-torque fastening | | XP40A | General production assembly | | XP48A | Medium-torque fastening | | XP55A | Higher-torque production fastening | | XP60A | Heavy-duty fastening in confined spaces | --- ### Available Models The XP-Series Right Angle includes pneumatic screwdrivers with torque ranges from **2.6 to 95.5 lbf.in (0.3–10.8 N·m)**. Every model features a **1/4" female hex drive** and a compact right-angle head designed for fastening applications where access is limited. ##### XP-Series Right Angle Model Chart | Model | Item Number | Torque Range | RPM | Drive Size | Weight | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | XP35A | 360015 | 2.6–17.4 lbf.in (0.3–2.0 N·m) | 2200 | 1/4" Female Hex | 1.75 lbs | | XP40A | 360016 | 4.3–30.4 lbf.in (0.5–3.4 N·m) | 1000 | 1/4" Female Hex | 1.75 lbs | | XP48A | 360017 | 4.3–39.1 lbf.in (0.5–4.4 N·m) | 1700 | 1/4" Female Hex | 3.25 lbs | | XP55A | 360018 | 10.4–65.1 lbf.in (1.2–7.4 N·m) | 1000 | 1/4" Female Hex | 3.25 lbs | | XP60A | 360019 | 26–95.5 lbf.in (2.9–10.8 N·m) | 550 | 1/4" Female Hex | 3.25 lbs | *Specifications are based on the XP-Series Right Angle Product Brochure.* --- ### Model Selection Guide | If you need: | Recommended Model | | --- | --- | | Precision low-torque fastening | XP35A | | General assembly | XP40A | | Medium-torque production | XP48A | | Higher torque fastening | XP55A | | Maximum torque capacity | XP60A | | Fastening in confined spaces | Any XP Right Angle model | | Heavy-duty industrial fastening | XP60A | --- ### Compatible Accessories | Accessory | Purpose | | --- | --- | | Torque Adjustment Cover | Prevents accidental torque changes | | Color Code Rings | Visual identification of torque settings | | 1/4" Hex Power Bits | Fastening applications | | Air Hose & FRL Unit | Provides clean, regulated compressed air | --- ### Setup & Adjustment 1. Connect the screwdriver to a clean, regulated compressed air supply. 2. Install the appropriate 1/4" hex driver bit. 3. Adjust the torque using the one-touch torque adjustment mechanism. 4. Install the torque adjustment cover if required. 5. Verify torque output using a calibrated torque analyzer before production. 6. Perform sample fastening cycles and make final torque adjustments before beginning production. 7. Periodically verify torque output as part of your quality control program. ### Common Applications **The XP-Series Right Angle is commonly used in:** - Electronics assembly - Automotive manufacturing - Aerospace assembly - Industrial equipment manufacturing - Appliance manufacturing - Telecommunications equipment assembly - General industrial production - High-volume fastening applications with restricted access - Assembly stations where fasteners are recessed or obstructed --- ### Use Cases (Real-World Examples) #### Tight Assembly Spaces **Problem:** Fasteners are located in confined areas where an inline or pistol grip screwdriver cannot be positioned properly. **Solution:** The compact right-angle head provides improved access while maintaining accurate, repeatable torque control. --- #### Electronics Assembly **Problem:** Small assemblies require precision fastening in crowded enclosures with limited clearance. **Solution:** Low-torque XP35A and XP40A models provide accurate shut-off torque while allowing operators to reach confined fastening locations. --- #### High-Volume Production **Problem:** Continuous assembly operations require reliable pneumatic tools with minimal maintenance. **Solution:** The oil-free pneumatic motor is designed for continuous-duty production while reducing maintenance requirements and operating costs. --- #### Heavy-Duty Industrial Assembly **Problem:** Larger fasteners require higher torque while maintaining access in difficult-to-reach areas. **Solution:** The XP60A delivers up to **95.5 lbf.in (10.8 N·m)** of torque through a compact right-angle design, allowing operators to fasten larger hardware in confined spaces. --- ### Maintenance - Verify torque output regularly using a calibrated torque analyzer. - Inspect the drive spindle, right-angle head, and bit holder for wear or damage. - Keep the screwdriver clean and free of dust and debris. - Use clean, dry, regulated compressed air to maximize tool life. - Inspect the air hose and fittings for leaks or damage. - Replace worn driver bits as needed to maintain fastening accuracy. - Periodically verify torque settings as part of your preventive maintenance program. --- ### Integration & Advanced Features -
