New cordless system
hilti.ca
Hilti has launched the Nuron 22-volt cordless battery platform. Nuron is a single 22-volt battery platform that enables cordless tools on all kinds of jobs, from light-duty drilling to heavy-duty concrete breaking. Launching with more than 60 tools, the battery platform enables heavy-duty applications that were once restricted to corded, gas-powered or higher voltage battery systems. Nuron brings intelligence to the core of the platform – all tools generate data which is then stored on the Nuron batteries and sent securely to the cloud during every charge without any operator interaction. The data collected includes information such as tool usage, tool utilization, charging location and battery state-of-health. The completely reengineered Nuron batteries are more durable including a new, robust fiberglass-reinforced housing and external shock-absorbing bumpers which provide extra protection even in the toughest conditions. And, the electronics are fully sealed to protect against moisture, dust and other jobsite contaminants. Hilti’s dust removal systems are available for all Nuron tools and active vibration reduction comes as standard. Active torque control is a key safety feature available with many more tools in the new Nuron product range. Hilti also has worked with construction professionals to develop two new technologies for increased safety with angle grinders. The new 3D ATC system switches off the tool and activates the disc brake when there is sudden, uncontrolled movement in any direction. The same risk-reducing function comes with the new SensTech system, which senses when the operator’s hand is removed and engages the electric brake, e.g. when the tool is accidentally dropped. Additionally, each Nuron tool has a recommended tethering method and Hilti offers an ANSI-compliant tethering system to help avoid falling objects when working at heights.

Fewer drips

The 20-volt Max adhesive gun is available in three canister sizes: the 10-ounce DCE560; the 29-ounce DCE570, or the 300 to 600 millilitre sausage tube DCE580, which provides the professional with the ability to choose the format that suits their typical use best. Key features include anti-drip which briefly auto-retracts the plunging rod when the trigger is released. Also featuring a variable-speed trigger and variable-speed dial, each of the 20-volt Max adhesive guns provide finite adjustments in the speed at which material is released. To limit user fatigue and ensure the proper amount of material is released, the gun’s trigger can be locked at a specific setting during use.
