Atlas Copco’s Power Focus Ecosystem

Power Focus 6000 Tool Controller with Tensor tool

The Power Focus Ecosystem (PF Ecosystem) comprises over a dozen tool types that seamlessly integrate with Atlas Copco controllers. The PF Ecosystem is at the core of our Smart Connected Assembly vision, which allows you to enhance assembly stations and save money on assembly tools. With our wide array of tightening tools, you can pick the right tool for the job.

Atlas Copco Controllers: Unifying assembly processes

The one thing connecting all our smart tightening tools is our torque controllers, which can connect to multiple tools simultaneously. With fewer controllers in your production, you will save money, space, and material sourcing, reducing carbon emissions.

Atlas Copco’s torque controller, the Power Focus 6000 (PF6000), previously the centerpiece of the PF Ecosystem, offers cutting-edge capabilities to optimize your assembly further. This convenient Atlas Copco controller employs virtual stations to accommodate various tools while providing a unique operator experience along with excellent quality control.

We recently introduced the Power Focus 8 (PF8), the latest evolution in our PF Ecosystem. The PF8 incorporates many features from the previous generation, along with additional benefits, which provide enhanced control and flexibility on the production line. This tool controller allows for the connection of up to 25 Virtual Stations at once, enhances communication range, and offers even more tightening programs and sequences.

By switching your old Atlas Copco torque controller hardware out for the Power Focus 8, manufacturers can significantly reduce their CO2e emissions over the solution's lifetime. When you replace your PF4000 with a PF8, you can reduce CO2e emissions by 25%! That’s a savings of up to 200 kgCO2e over the estimated 10-year lifespan of this evolutionary ecosystem technology. So, if you have sustainability targets, the PF8 may be able to help you reach them.

Integrated controller tooling: Revolutionizing production

Atlas Copco offers Tensor IxB tools featuring integrated controllers to further minimize material sourcing Smart Connected Assembly. This design enhances manufacturing flexibility while lowering application hardware demands, thereby promoting efficiency and reducing material consumption. The IxB tools can handle greater complexity and increased precision while decreasing production costs.
