Tohnichi now offers a preset style version marking torque wrench, Model MQSP. This preset version requires a special adjusting key and tester to set the torque value. This process keeps the torque set secure. The MQSP uses the same specialized marking cartridge and accessories that the current MPQL prelock style marking wrench uses. Torque setting for the MQSP may be requested at time of order or a new specialized adapter #817 and #818 are available in order to convert the specialized end into a standard square drive so it can be placed on a standard torque wrench tester for setting.

Two new larger sized models: QSPCA30N and QSPCA70N along with their LS Versions have beend added to the QSPCA Slip Type Torque Wrench Series. The QSPCA features a unique cam link mechanism that generates a "slip" action once torque set is achieved. Accuracy is +/-4% of reading and calibration is recommended annually or every 100,000 cycles. The new design is not length dependent, as most torque wrenches are, making this the wrench of choice for those who want accuracy and no possibility of over torque application. The 36 tooth ratchet allows for 10 degrees of operation in tight spaces. The LS or limit switch adds the torque verification confirmation feature to the wrench. The cable can be tied into your own PLC or to Tohnichi's Count Checker Model CNA-4mk2

Northbrook, IL - (October 21, 2010) CTB2-G is the newest version of Tohnichi’s digital torque wrench designed especially for performing retightening tests for torque inspections.  Retightening tests are one of most common ways to perform quality inspections on fasteners that have already been tightened by hand or machine.  The test involves retightening the fastener just until the bolt head starts to move. This can often be difficult to detect and data can vary among users because of differences in technique.  Tohnichi created the CTB to assist with collecting data that is closest to the original tightening value and more consistent between users. By using T-Point torque methodology and incorporating a gyro sensor, the wrench is able to detect the initial movement of the bolt head and then calculates what torque the bolt was originally tightened to.  The new CTB2-G features new body styling, Ni-MH rechargeable battery for up to 20hrs continuous use, multiple units of measure selection by keypad, additional communications setups, CCW testing, and an expanded 999 data storage capacity.  The CTB2-G includes an interchangeable ratcheting square drive head, rechargeable battery pack and quick charger along with a certificate of calibration.
  Available in 8 different model sizes covering an overall torque range of 2Nm up to 850Nm. CTB2-G allows for selection of different units of measure in equivalent ranges by keypad selection: Nm./kgf.cm./kgf.m./lbf.ft./lbf.in.  Visit www.tohnichi.com/products/digital-torque-wrench-CTB2-G.asp for complete specifications.

Northbrook, IL - (May 20, 2010) Tohnichi introduces new limit switch versions of its popular RTD and RNTD Torque Screwdriver series. The “LS” or limit switch adds a micro switch and cable to the torque screwdrivers. This additional feature creates the ability to track the number of clicks that the torque screwdriver generates as it reaches the target torque setting. The RTDLS and RNTDLS are ideal for applications where missed screw tightening can lead to loss of product quality. When the limit switch cable is connected to a PLC or to Tohnichi’s CNA-4mk2 Count Checker the clicks generated by the torque screwdrivers can be tracked, creating a verification system that will signal the user with lights and buzzers to possible missed tightening. RTDLS features easily adjustable torque setting with external scale and lock ring, while RNTDLS is preset to one torque setting to prevent any possible tampering with the torque set value. RNTDLS and RTDLS both feature a pivoting hanger clip and swiveling cable connection. Available in SI, Metric, and English units of measure. Visit www.tohnichi.com for complete specifications.

Northbrook, IL (March 2009) - For added features and functionality, Tohnichi has developed a new version of its digital torque and angle wrench: the Model CTA2. Combining two previous models: CTA and CTA-P wrenches into one tool, with the CTA2 the operator selects either single tightening or production mode. Enter snug torque and angle data either through keypad or by PC software (included).  Upon reaching the desired snug torque, the display automatically changes from torque to angle mode. When approaching the set angle an intermittent buzzer sounds and when target angle is achieved blue lamp lights and steady buzzer sounds. Tohnichi's CTA2 wrench is designed for small lot production, maintenance and after-service (where angle method is adopted) applications, as well as a back-up tool for angle method nutrunners. Six models are available covering torque measurement ranges of 10 up to 850 NM.(Metric and English models also available)

CEM3-P is a programmable version of Tohnichi’s popular CEM3 Series, Digital Torque Wrench. This sophisticated torque wrench includes a software package that allows the product name, part name (location), number of fasteners, torque limits, sequence and torque direction to be uploaded into the wrench. This information creates a “To Do List” for auditors or as a guide for complex tightening processes.

Actual tightening torque is linked by time and date with the details of the fastener location and name information. Judgment lights and buzzer alert user to upper and lower torque limits. Data can be downloaded from the wrench to an Excel file: one at a time, a selected range or all at once.

Eight models available covering different torque ranges starting at 2 NM and maxing at 850NM (English and Metric Equivalents Available)

Tohnichi is proud to introduce another new Interchangeable Head Series: SH-N. Based on our popular SP-N Series, these head are ideal for brake lines. The speed notch allows for the head to be moved quickly around the side of the nut. This creates speed in the tightening process. Using interchangeable heads reduces downtime of tools--no need to send out for repairs just pop on new head and the tool is ready to use. Head thicknesses vary so it can cover the nut and rest easily between gaps allowing for speed and ease of use.

Other features include selection of manual or automatic data flow from the R-DT999, as well as baud rate. Small display screen guides user through the set up.

CNA-4mk2 is the upgraded version of Tohnichi's Count Checker for bolt counting verification. This controller assists workers by keeping track of bolts tightened using torque wrenches. Count display, buzzers, and lights guide workers to prevent human error during assembly processes. The CNA-4mk2 works with Tohnichi LS Series or FM Torque Wrenches. Once a set torque is achieved a signal is sent to the box to track the tightening process.

FEATURES & FUNCTIONS

• Up to 4 wrenches can be controlled at one time (in succession)

For SF and CSF, Flat Beam Torque Wrench Series, a new style handle will be phased in over the next few months. The previous models had a ball shaped end. The new aluminum elongated egg shaped tip has more surface space to grip. It also makes it more secure when placing the wrench on a torque wrench tester. The handle features a distinctive effective length line, so the user can easily verify the pulling point.

Over the next year Tohnichi will introduce into the market Version 4 of the following: Models: QL, QL-MH, PQL, and QSP. These wrenches will feature smaller outside diameter ratchet heads and increased thickness. These changes allow for ease of use in getting into smaller areas and also strengthen the heads durability. New model names will be used to indicate this change by the addition of “4” to the model name. Note that head parts will be different than the previous models. Smaller models of DB, Dial Beam Torque Wrenches, will have a newly designed grip. This grip style will assist customers in preventing over torque conditions during use. The slim line handle conveys a "lighter" hand force should be applied using fingers instead of the normal stronger full hand grip. Reducing chance of over torque will lead to longer product life and increased customer satisfaction. Models reflecting this change will have “4” added to the model name.
