Cooper Power Tools' Pulse Tool Technology Provides Industry-First Solution to Improve Productivity
LEXINGTON, S.C., August 29, 2007 - Cooper Power Tools today introduced the Cleco® D Series pulse tools, bringing an industry-first solution to increase productivity.
The Cleco D Series line utilizes an industry-first adjustable pulse chamber and the lowest number of parts in the pulse unit to provide longer operating life and simplified maintenance When initial maintenance is needed, service technicians can now perform maintenance in approximately two minutes - 10 times faster than competitive systems.
Previously, initial pulse tool maintenance required a skilled technician to precisely remove air and add a specific volume of oil with a syringe or vacuum. The new Cleco D Series design provides for a fast and simplified operation that lets technicians quickly finish the process without the need for special tools - significantly decreasing downtime.
"Since the first pulse tool was developed in the 1970s, the complexity and time required to perform preventative maintenance procedures has been recognized as the real disadvantage of the technology," said Mark Momola, Product Manager, Cooper Power Tools. "The Cleco D Series tools offer an easy, long-awaited solution to reduce downtime and maintenance hassles, while improving assembly productivity."
In addition, the Cleco D Series features a patented three-chamber air motor improving productivity by providing a higher level of power during fastening applications.
A decrease in the number of parts and design improvements from the previous model reduces the weight of the Cleco D Series tools by as much as 30%. This allows users to operate for extended periods of time with less fatigue. The Cleco D Series has further been simplified by replacing the shut-off mechanism from the hydraulic pulse unit with an onboard inertial shut-off system that removes variability and complexity associated with monitoring pulse fluid pressure.
