PTA In Boiler Manufacturing

The implementation of the correct Wera screwdriver bit and holder will reduce the rate at which members of the production team get through bits. This not only reduces the cost of consumables for the boiler and heat pump production lines, making them more profitable – but also reduce downtime caused by swapping bits; therefore, increasing production rates.  

Along with our Z-bits currently being used on site, Wera offers 5 different types of bits engineered for use with specific applications. Our BiTorsion Extra Tough bit will provide the best results for the assembly of the boilers as it is specifically designed for threaded screws as well as being designed for use with non-impact power tools. These bits also feature our Take It Easy Toolfinder, which means the profile and size of the bit are easily identifiable, even whilst in the holder. This means stations can easily be identified to what fitting they are set up for and removes the likelihood of the wrong size bit being used for screws, which could lead to damaged fittings or excessive bit wear.  

For optimum results the bit should be used with our 897/4 R BiTorsion holder. BiTorsion holders by Wera have a torsion spring that absorbs low peak loads during screwdriving jobs. The combined use with BiTorsion bits and their torsion zones extends the service life of the tool considerably. These torsion zones will even increase the service life of the standard Z bits on site.

Wera's Rapidaptor technology allows bits to be attached without any need to actuate the sleeve. Once pushed in the bit is automatically locked in creating a secure wobble free hold. The removal of the bit is simple, just by pushing the sleeve forward. This enables rapid bit change with just one hand – making life for the operators easier and reducing downtime. A free turning sleeve also allows for the thread to be started by hand reducing the likelihood of cross threading leading to scrap components.
