Industrial tightening requires precise control strategies. TA systems feature Torque and Angle monitoring, making it possible to manage both torque and rotation angle of the screw.
The Torque/Angle Control
The main parameters to be controlled are the tightening torque and the rotation angle of the screw, either with torque or angle priority. The screwdriver stops automatically when the pre-set angle and torque value have been reached and an indication of OK cycle (green led turned on) is given, otherwise a red led turns on if the tightened screw doesn’t match the pre-set parameters. The final torque and angle values are also displayed.
Main features
• Latest generation ergonomic ESD-safe housing.
• Automatic model recognition.
• ‘EDU Expand’ software for remote programming via USB port and PC.
• USB port on front panel for uploading and downloading programs.
• Easy to program user interface screens.
• Password protected.
• Torque value in Nm, lbf.in and kgf.cm.
• Angle value in degrees. • Precision comparable to class 'A' torque scatter performance class (as defined in ISO5393-2017, between 25% to 75% of the torque range).
• 8 independent programs including the options:
- Min/Max torque value.
- Min/Max angle value.
- Rundown speed.
- Slow start/Soft stop.
- Hard/soft joint.
- Min/Max rundown time.
- Prevailing torque (threadcutting).
- Auto reverse if required.
• 6 Torque & Angle strategies:
- Torque priority: angle count from torque threshold (T) or from remote input (T/I) or from lever input (T/L).
- Angle priority: driver stops when angle is reached from threshold torque (A) or from remote input (A/I) or from lever (A/L).
IMPORTANT: Continuous use over 80% of torque range is not recommended.
PLUTO ANG screwdrivers are available in TA (torque & angle) version too.

NEW! EDU2AE/TOP/TA is supplied standard with EDU EXPAND software and an 8Gb USB flash drive.
PC programming (back panel): it is possible to set, change and save all parameters through our new “EDU EXPAND” software for PC. EDU EXPAND communicates with the control unit via miniUSB or RS232.
Saving/programming on USB flash drive (front panel): you can save the results of each screwing operation directly on USB pen drive! It is also possible to upload via USB drive all parameters/programs previously set on “EDU EXPAND”. Just connect your USB to the port and recall the desired programs on the menu. The programs set on control unit can be downloaded on USB and recalled on another unit and on EDU EXPAND, too.
