In manufacturing, every second on the production line can tip the scale between profit and loss. With the right tool, you can accelerate production, reduce costs, and stay ahead of the competition. RAD Torque Systems tools set a new benchmark for precision, power, and efficiency, helping manufacturers optimize their operations.
Recognizing the limitations of standard hydraulic tools, manufacturers are upgrading to RAD torque wrenches—renowned worldwide for superior speed, precision, and reliability on the assembly line.
Why Choose RAD Torque Systems?
Switching to RAD Torque Systems tools delivers more than just faster production—it also reduces operational costs and improves worker safety. Unlike traditional hydraulic tools, RAD’s cordless torque tools eliminate cumbersome hoses and power packs, making them ideal for tight or hard-to-reach spaces. Their portability and advanced engineering ensure that industries like aerospace, automotive, and energy can operate with greater flexibility and precision.
E-RAD BLU Series: Advanced Precision
The E-RAD torque wrench is a pivotal tool in high-torque assembly applications. Designed for precision with an accuracy of +/- 3% on target, the E-RAD BLU series is built to excel in demanding environments such as heavy machinery assembly, where durability is critical; wind energy maintenance, where precision torquing ensures operational safety; and aerospace manufacturing, where even minor inaccuracies can have serious consequences. Paired with RAD’s renowned gearbox and AC Servo motor technology, this tool delivers power and reliability.
According to Tom Macey at Maxpro Corporation, a master distributor of RAD tools in the Eastern United States, companies using the E-RAD torque wrench report remarkable time savings.
“I’ve seen firsthand how a company can save a huge amount of time with their assembly process,” says Macey. “For example, a well-known manufacturer of valves switched to the E-RAD 11K from a hydraulic torque tool and found it was four times faster!”
The E-RAD torque wrench cuts bolting time by up to 300% compared to standard hydraulic wrenches, allowing manufacturers to meet tighter deadlines and increase productivity.
B-RAD Series: Portable Powerhouse
For those seeking a powerful yet portable solution, the B-RAD torque gun offers the perfect answer. Available in S, Select, and Offset models, the B-RAD torque gun is designed to tackle the toughest jobs, delivering up to 5,000 ft.-lbs. of torque. The high torque capacity makes it ideal for heavy manufacturing, construction, and other demanding industries.
Brian Warmerdam, RAD Torque Systems Product Manager, highlights the growing demand for tools with advanced features like data collection.
“A lot of companies want torque wrenches with data collection, like our B-RAD S, which is ideal for anyone who wants more advanced process control features,” says Warmerdam.
Equipped with a built-in transducer, the B-RAD S reads and displays torque in real time, offering unmatched accuracy. Its torque and angle capabilities make it indispensable for critical applications and ensure compliance with Industry 4.0 standards.
Innovation Spotlight: Future-Ready Tools
In January 2023, RAD Torque Systems raised the bar by launching the world’s first battery-powered torque wrench capable of torquing up to 11,000 ft.-lbs. This innovation combines extreme power with portability, eliminating cables and revolutionizing industries like construction, oil & gas, and heavy machinery.
With this groundbreaking tool, RAD continues to lead the way in creating solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern manufacturers. The ability to deliver such high torque levels in a cordless format showcases RAD’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of what torque tools can achieve.
