We have recently discovered an issue with the PC software “Pokayoke Tool Setting Software” used to set up wireless torque wrenches.

We would like to inform you as follows in order to update the software of the affected products.

We sincerely apologize in advance for any inconvenience.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation regarding this issue.

[Bug report]

When using Pokayoke Tool Setting Software

・Wireless torque wrench CSPFHW Series

・Wireless torque wrenches equipped with the “T-FH” transmitter

will not communicate with “R-CM” Receivers when the wireless communication format is set to “R-CM(M-FH).

As this software is used when setting up connections, there will be no impact if the connection between the torque wrench and the receiver has already been established.

The SCL-MH series of European type interchangeable head adjustable torque wrenches with knurled grip (8 models) and the SCSP-MH series of interchangeable head preset torque wrenches (8 models) are now available.

The CES series of compact interchangeable head digital torque wrenches is equipped to detect tightening abnormalities.

Monitors torque and angle to detect tightening abnormalities such as scuffing, missing parts, missed tightening (or double tightening), and O-ring nibbling, to prevent the delivery of defective products to clients.

The optional Bluetooth Expansion Module (M-CES-BT) for the CES series now conforms to the technical standards of more countries and can be used in more of them (see below).

As of July 2023, conforms to the technical standards of Japan, the USA, Canada, the EU, China, Thailand, India, and Singapore. Can also be used in Mexico and Vietnam.

See here for more product information on the CES series.

To learn more about the Bluetooth Expansion Module (M-CES-BT), see here.

Designed for tightening work on fragile apparatus, such as plastic parts and sensors, as well as for the assembly and maintenance of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, inspection instruments and peripheral devices, the CES/CES-G series of compact digital torque wrenches have a measurement torque range of 0.5 to 10 N･m. Tohnichi developed both models in the series and is releasing them on the market beginning on Wednesday, June 21, 2023.

Product Outline

・ Offers angle measurement functionality. Like the CEM3-G-BTAmodel, torque and angle monitoring permit the detection of defective tightening.

・ The optional Bluetooth Expansion Module is available for wireless data management.

・ CES5Nx6D can be used with the 6D series of compact interchangeable heads, which were launched in January 2023. Designed to improve workability during tightening and inspection tasks in confined spaces.

For more product information, please see here.

Our Online Parts Search System has been updated.

Use the system also for ordering parts required to repair Tohnichi torque devices such as a torque screwdriver, torque wrench, torque gauge and torque meter.

The upgrade includes

・Newly added

　Open-end interchangeable head pre-lock marking torque wrench "MPCL series"

　Battery type torque screwdriver with Bluetooth "PTA-BT series"

・Modifications: CDB5-S, DB5, T23N2-S, TME2, TM-S, A3, AC3, AP2, AS, ASH, ASL, DAC, DAC3, HA/HAC, etc.

The “QSPCA series” rotary slip-type preset torque wrench, which prevents overtorque by idling with a Click! when the set torque is reached, has sold more than 10,000 units.

We launched the QSPCA series in January 2011, and we also added QSPCAMS/QSPCALS or wire(d) pokayoke (error-proofing) preventing human tightening errors through tightening count control, and QSPCAFHP/QSPCAFHLSM for wireless pokayoke (error-proofing).

We have released the “DOTCL10N” calibration kit for the digital torque wrench tester “DOTE10N4-G”.

For example:

　Compact Torque Wrench CSP6D series

　　 >Digital Torque Wrench Tester DOTE10N4-G

　　　>Calibration Kit DOTCL10N

and Traceability are established.

Built-in torque sensor. Customers who purchase the "PTA-G-BT series" battery type electric torque screwdriver that can output tightening data externally via Bluetooth will receive the tightening control software for the PTA-G-BT used in the introduction video from 2:14 to 3:16.

[Software Overview]

・Switchable between English/Japanese.

・After tightening, the results are sent from the tool to the PC.

・Up to nine different tightening conditions can be registered for one work (up to two types of work).

・The software displays a picture of the customer's work, allowing the user to visually check the work order, etc.

・Up to two types of tools can also be registered, so that models with different torque ranges or tools with different sockets are also supported.

・Imported tightening data can be exported in CSV format.

*This software cannot be downloaded.

Tohnichi Manufacturing developed the CSP2NX6D and CSP5NX6D compact interchangeable-head preset torque wrenches for unobstructed tightening in confined spaces, and released them on the market on January 23, 2023.

For more product information, check out the details here.

■ Main specs: * Accuracy, both models: ±3%

CSP2NX6D: Torque range 0.4 ~ 2 N·m

CSP5NX6D: Torque range 1 ~ 5 N·m

■ Features:

· Slimmer body. Designed for unobstructed tightening in confined spaces.

(Body width reduced from 19 mm to 12 mm, thickness from 9.2 mm to 7.3 mm.)

　This newly developed connector is used together with dedicated φ6 compact interchangeable heads.

· Distinct click sensation useful in preventing overtightening.

　Newly developed to improve structural design. When set torque is reached, the click clearly indicates that it has been tightened to completion.

■ Other facts

· This newly developed connector was released simultaneously with the dedicated φ6 compact interchangeable heads in the QH6D and SH6D series (12 types each).

· This product is preset. The simultaneously released digital torque wrench tester DOTE10N4-G is required for “Click!” torque setting functionality and calibration.

Tohnichi Manufacturing developed the QH6D and SH6D series of interchangeable heads (12 types each) for compact interchangeable head torque wrenches, and released them on the market on January 23, 2023.

For more information on our interchangeable head products, check out the details here.

[Features]

Product name: Ratchet Head Model: QH6D

Product name: Open End Head Model: SH6D series　

　　　　* Open End Head; width across flats: 5.5 to 19 (12 types)

[Features]

· Can be used connected to the CSP2NX6D and CSP5NX6D compact interchangeable-head preset torque wrenches, which were newly released at the same time.

· Developed for tightening in confined spaces. One step smaller than the previous minimum size models in the QH8D and SH8D series.

· QH6D uses 48-tooth ratchet. Easier workability in confined spaces where the swing arc is narrow.

Tohnichi Manufacturing developed the small capacity digital torque wrench tester DOTE10N4-G and released it on the market on January 23, 2023.

Go here for product information.

■ DOTE10N4-G major specs

Measuring range: 0.2 ~ 10 N·m

1 digit (1 kN): 0.001 N·m

Accuracy: ±1% + digit

■ Features:

1) Can be used for calibration and torque setting of the simultaneously sold CSP2NX6D or CSP5NX6D compact interchangeable-head preset torque wrenches.

2) This tester alone can be used for Tohnichi’s click-type torque wrenches gauged for measurements 10 N･m and below.

3) Setup location area can be as small as a sheet of A4 paper (similar to 8½ x 11 inch paper).

4) Newly developed loading device for DOTE10N4-G rotations for each side, for sensitive calibration of small capacity torque devices.

■ Other facts

The DOTCL10N calibration kit for DOTE10N4-G is also newly developed.
