Patent number: 9950417Abstract: An electronic pulse driver includes a motor, a hammer, an anvil, an end tool mounting unit, a power supply unit, and a control unit. The hammer is rotatable together with the anvil. The end tool mounting unit transmits the rotation of the anvil to an end tool. The power supply unit supplies a drive electric power to the motor. The control unit controls the power supply unit to halt a supply of the drive electric power to the motor when an electric current flowing to the motor increases to a prescribed value. The control unit controls the power supply unit to supply to the motor a prestart electric power lower than the drive electric power before supplying the drive electric power in order to permit the power supply unit to supply the drive electric power after the hammer is in contact with the anvil.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2011Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: Hitachi Koki Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yutaka Ito, Katsuhiro Oomori, Mizuho Nakamura, Tomomasa Nishikawa, Hironori Mashiko
