CABLE MANAGEMENT
Cables are used in conjunction with all Atlas Copco tools and assembly
equipment, including: hand held tools, fixtured hand tools or when spindle
”motors only” are provided for incorporation into various types of machine
automation.
As with many industrial systems, cables are a main failure point – especially
in applications where the cables are subject to repetitive motion. Atlas
Copco has the knowledge to help the customer find effective solutions to
their facilities unique cable needs.
In the case of fastening equipment, cables connect the following functions:
• Power supply
• Controller
• Nutrunner
• Accessory
With a proper cable management
you will increase the life of
the cable and reduce the risk
operators falling over them. In
example, using a cable balancer
helps to manage the excess cable
when the tool and cable are not
extended.
Use of a cable clamp bracket
This clamp bracket can be attached to a hand tool cable and then be attached
to a cable balancer. When located properly on the tool cable, the cable
balancer will keep the cable off the floor. A hook is provided as a place to
“rest” the tool and may be used with or without a cable balancer to “rest”
the tool when the cable is spread over the cable shoe.
