Atlas Copco TC-52P
Model Series: TC-52 Series (Compact Industrial Grade)
Product Overview:
The TC-52P is a compact peak torque electric controller designed for precision fastening in electronics, small appliances, and light assembly applications. The “P” designation indicates peak torque control only, without angle monitoring.
Detailed content
Technical Specifications:
- Torque Range: 0.2 – 52 Nm
- Torque Accuracy: ±3% of reading
- Repeatability: ±1% of reading
- Control Mode: Peak Torque (P)
- Power Supply: 24 V DC (via external power supply)
- Communication: I/O (2 inputs, 2 outputs), RS-232 optional
- Operating Temperature: 0°C to +45°C
- Protection Rating: IP54
Functional Features:
- Single-parameter peak torque control
- LED pass/fail indication (green/red)
- Adjustable torque window (tightening and loosening)
- Peak hold function for verification
- Teach-in mode for quick setup
- Buzzer audible alarm on completion
Structural Characteristics:
- Compact plastic housing (120 x 80 x 45 mm)
- 4-digit LED display with backlight
- 3 front-panel membrane buttons
- Direct screwdriver connector (M12, 8-pin)
Material Composition:
- Housing: Glass-fiber reinforced polyamide (PA66-GF30)
- Connectors: PBT plastic with gold-plated pins
- Mounting bracket: Stainless steel (AISI 304)
Working Principle:
The controller receives torque signal from the electric screwdriver’s internal transducer. When the instantaneous torque value reaches the preset peak threshold, the controller cuts power to the tool motor within 10 ms, completing the tightening cycle.
Key Advantages:
- Extremely compact footprint — ideal for space-constrained workstations
- Fast setup via teach-in button (under 10 seconds)
- Low cost per fastening point
- Robust construction for continuous industrial use
Applicable Industries:
Electronics assembly, Medical device manufacturing, Small appliance production, Laboratory equipment assembly
Installation Requirements:
- Wall or panel mount using supplied bracket
- 24 V DC power supply (Atlas Copco MSX-02 or equivalent, min. 2 A)
- Connect to screwdriver via M12 8-pin cable (max. 3 m recommended)
- Ensure adequate ventilation; do not enclose in sealed cabinet
Usage Precautions:
- Do not use with pneumatic screwdrivers — this unit is electric-only
- Verify torque calibration before each production shift
- Do not expose to coolant splashes; use IP65 accessory cover if needed
- Replace power supply fuse with same rating (2 A slow-blow)
