Repeatability is Quality!Repeatability: When you've got it, it can make a winner out of your product in today's quality-conscious marketplace.
Repeatability: When you don't have it, it's what makes
returns, re-works and scrap out of your product.
Repeatability: It's what you need to guarantee each and every one of the fasteners in your product is torqued properly. |

| The Secret to Precise Torque Repeatability: The Driver Stops ItseIf
ASG drivers give you repeatability. Over and under-tightening is eliminated for critical assembly work because our drivers have precision torque control. Our drivers are "smart"...their precision clutches automatically stop rotation the instant a pre-set torque is reached.

And When You Really Do Need To Vary the Torque...
Adjustments Are Easy
Tools are externally adjusted by a simple twist of the torque nut. If tamper-proof torque is required, a locking mechanism
can be provided to prevent the operator from changing a pre-set torque. A high/low switch on the power supply allows the operator to make a quick reduction in the driver's RPMs for critical plastic assemblies.

They're Clean...
Really Clean.
ASG tools are ideal for clean room
assembly. When converted to clean room, all CL,
SS and Alpha series tools are appropriate
for Class 100 environments.
A Word About Carpal
Tunnel Syndrome
(Good News!)
More accurately known as Cumulative Trauma Disorder, carpal tunnel syndrome
is a well-known condition in assembly
operations where power tools are used. It
is usually caused by repetitive job activties or repetitive wrist movements which
tend to overextend the lower arm or wrist.
Another common example of Cumulative
Trauma Disorder is tenosynovitis. Both
tenosynovitis and carpal tunnel syndrome
are extremely painful to the assembly
operator and hold the potential for serious
worker injury.
But there is good news.
ASG tools use a very rapid, almost
instantaneous braking system. This system prevents the overextension of the
lower arm and wrist, the most common
causes of cumulative trauma. To learn
more about the prevention of cumulative
trauma and how ASG tools can help, call
our Technical Sales Department at
(216) 486-6163.
Low Noise Levels
And there's more good news. ASG drivers are also very quiet. At only 55 decibels (typically), ASG tools are ideally suited for "office type" assembly operations.
When you add it up: flexible, quiet, light weight, and clean, you can see that your
operators will enjoy using low-fatigue ASG tools.

Safe, Simple & Require None of the
Support Equipment
That Air Tools Need
Best of all, ASG tools are simple. They
are easy to move from one location to
another as assembly requirements
change. Just unplug ASG tools and
move them to where the assembly
requirement is. There is no plumbing to
change, no expensive changes to the
assembly line, etc. Plus you won't have
any expensive air tool maintenance
problems.
The CL, SS and Alpha Series tools are
powered by low voltage DC motors.
Transformers and control boxes are
away from the driver...so there's no high
voltage present in either the tool or its
power cord.
VZ tools are the latest in convenience
and simplicity. The VZ drivers plug
directly into any 110 VAC outlet. AC
power is converted to DC via a built-in
converter.
The VZ tools feature a new ergonomic design intended to create the lowest
possible operator fatigue.

| "Who's ASG, and
What Do They Know
About Screwdrivers?"
ASG is a division of Jergens, Inc., a fifty-five
year old manufacturer of tooling components for the manufacturing industry.
ASG has been supplying controlled-torque drivers to the assembly industry
since 1975. We have sold more controlled-torque assembly equipment than any
other company in the U.S. |
