Battery tools to improve your riveting performance
As the UK distribution partner for Qonnect and as part of an ongoing commitment to delivering the best in fastening technology to customers, Zygology announces the arrival of the latest battery-powered rivet tools from Qonnect, the QN12XL and the QR64XL.
Known throughout Europe for its service quality, speed and reliability, Qonnect is a partnership between various European and Asian-owned manufacturers of blind rivets, blind rivet nuts and associated riveting tools.
The QN12XL is a powerful, easy to use new battery-powered rivet nut tool. Capable of installing rivet nuts from M3 to M12 in aluminium, steel and stainless steel, the QN12XL features push-button controls and a digital screen, plus a class-leading automatic triggerless setting feature.
This new tool uses push-button controls and a digital screen to set the stroke length, helping to make switching from one application to another quick and precise. In order to enhance quality control, the tool can also record the number of inserts set.
Featuring a brushless DC motor and optimised gearbox, the QN12XL ensures fast cycle times and is ideal for quiet environments.
The automatic setting option eliminates the need to use the trigger to install inserts: operators simply push the tool onto the insert, it then winds on, installs, and winds off fully automatically. This facility completely eliminates operator error from the process and allows workers with no previous experience to use the tool at maximum efficiency levels.
The other new addition to the range is the QR64XL, a well-designed and powerful battery-powered rivet tool. Capable of installing rivets from 2.4 to 6.4mm diameter including structural rivets such as Monobolts or M-Power structural rivets, this versatile riveter will meet all your riveting requirements.
Light and well balanced the extended rivet setting range of the QR64XL combines the capability of two conventional rivet tools into one unit.
Discussing the new tools from Qonnect, Zygology Sales Director, Richard Avery said: "Qonnect tools have been specially designed for trouble-free installation of any type of blind rivet or nut. They have already proven to be a popular choice with our customers and a fast-seller that we're proud to stock and distribute."
