Sturtevant Richmont PST1200 Pressure Sensor Transceiver

Air Pressure Sensor Transceiver

Battery-powered or with a mains adapter, the PST measures the air pressure at the most sensitive point of a pneumatic tool – in the engine compartment. Why? This is where the air pressure is directly linked to the performance of the impulse tool.

There are a variety of pneumatic torque controlled tools that accommodate high speed assembly. The very nature of high speed assembly creates opportunities for errors. Operators moving too fast can miss tightening some fasteners, attempt to tighten previously tightened fasteners, cross-thread, or release the trigger before final torque is achieved.

Benefits

• Improves error-proofing by determining 'double hits' or when the tool is being used to tighten a fastener that is already properly torqued.
• Reduces costly mistakes by detecting cross-threaded fastenings.
• Provides greater safety and risk mitigation by disqualifying the rundown when the operator prematurely releases the trigger or lever before final torque is reached. (The fastener may look perfect to the naked eye, but in reality it is far from being properly torqued.)

The PST 1200 functionality is simple: create a compatible standard fastener algorithm with time and air pressure specifications and store it in the Global 400 with which it is paired. Accuracy is guaranteed as the PST 1200 measures the air pressure in the engine compartment. It does not make sense to measure the air pressure at other points. Aren't there already enough variables in air pressure?

Log in to the Global Manager software, open the PST 1200 profile screen and drag the air pressure and time specifications until you have the desired pressure and time profile. Screw on the fastening element and check the tightened torque. Changes to the profile are still made using drag & drop. Once the standard is created, the PST 1200 and the Global 400 process monitor work together to evaluate each subsequent fastening.

The PST 1200 uses a radio transceiver to receive instructions and report the results. The Global process monitor provides visual and audible feedback on the results of each fastener.

The PST pressure sensor transceivers provide a more robust assembly process for your pneumatic tools. It works with all clutch-based impulse tools. It does NOT work with impact wrenches. It also does NOT work with pneumatic 'push start' tools.
