  • Publication number: 20240157522
    Abstract: An impact wrench motor unit includes a motor and an operating switch. A tool-holder shaft rotates about a rotation axis. A transmission unit percussion mechanism connects the motor unit and the tool-holder shaft. A handlebar structure has two handles for manually gripping the wrench. An electronic control system, containing a control board, connected to electric batteries and the operating switch. The electric motor is simultaneously powered by rechargeable batteries connected in parallel. The control system includes a device for generating three-phase current to the motor, utilizing a first battery generating a first phase, a second battery generating a second phase, and both the first and second batteries for generating a third phase. A ratio of contributions of the first and second batteries to the third phase generation depends on the residual charge state of the batteries. The least charged battery contributes less than the most charged battery.

  • Patent number: 10799962
    Abstract: A working head for a hydrodynamic cutting tool includes a working head, an electro-hydraulic pump adapted to increase the pressure of a hydraulic liquid, and a pressure tube connected between the pump and the working head to communicate the pressure of the hydraulic liquid from the pump to the working head. The working head may be removably connectable to the pressure tube and includes two jaws movable, in response to the increase of the hydraulic liquid pressure, between an open position and a closed position to perform the cutting. A cutting detector may be used to detect the completion of the cutting. A cutting confirmation transmitter may be connected to the cutting detector and configured for a wireless transmission of a cutting completion confirmation signal to a cutting confirmation receiver of the cutting tool.

  • Patent number: 7628220
    Abstract: An impact motorized wrench includes a tool-holder shaft arranged on a front side of the wrench and pivoting around a rotation axis, a rotary motion producing motor unit arranged on a rear side of the wrench opposite the front side and an operating member to operate the motor unit, a drive unit with a percussion mechanism being arranged between the motor unit and the tool-holder shaft. The motor unit, the drive unit and the percussion mechanism together form a base body of the wrench and the wrench includes two gripping handles attached to the base body, both being of elongated shape and transversally spaced apart relative to their longitudinal extensions. The handles define a common gripping plane tangential to both handles, which plane extends transversally to the rotation axis. The operating member is associated to one of the two handles.
