Precision electromechanical power wrench applies a given amount of torque to a series of fasteners. It uses a commercially available dc permanent magnet torque motor with a current-controllable torque output and torque value indicator designed to the principles of human engineering.
Electrical shorting cap provides pin alignment, protection from stray voltages, and inspection capabilities. A Teflon straightener insert is built in to overcome any problems with bent or misaligned pins. A clear plastic bottom allows for inspection of the presence and condition of the pins.
Adjustable tool facilitates the installation of Marmon clamps. It provides sufficient mechanical advantage to force the clamps into place, permitting one man operation. Two handles provide the major leverage, and a pivoting arm with a slot enables snap-out action.
