Electric Smart Torque Tool
AES has designed an Electric Smart Torque Tool in the tradition of providing our customers a simple, rugged and reliable product. The tool has a closed loop speed/position control system, allowing ne control and angular position feedback.
Real-time torque limiting gives very accurate torque feedback and control. The tool is ideally suited for both subsea and surface applications requiring up to 2000 ft-lbs of torque.
As it does not require an HPU for operation, surface testing in the yard or shop environment is easily accomplished. Torque is measured by internal feedback with an accuracy of +/- 2%.
The electric motor provides consistent and repeatable output not available in hydraulic torque tools due to inconsistencies in the hydraulic supply provided by HPUs, ROVs and motor wear.
