Quicker
With the Smart Tensioning System guiding the operator through the process, it can reduce process time by 50%.
Safer
The guided tensioning process secures that all procedures are followed, with every step of bolt tensioning completed correctly ensuring a safely tightened joint.
Smarter
The Power Focus Hand Controller delivers a fully integrated process, with the tensioning process controlled, guided and recorded from one device.
Guidance, Data and Traceability - all in one tensioning system

Designed for safety, accuracy and speed
Why do you need a new bolt tensioning solution?
Until now, the bolt tensioning process has been dependent on equipment and operators efficency and skills. STS is the first truly smart bolt tensioning system which enables production and service companies to trace the tensioning process completed on critical applications.
What is the new solution?
Atlas Copco's new smart tensioning sytem combines the power of conventional tensioners with smartness to obtain data of the process and final results. The system will completely guide the operator on how to complete the process with accuracy, ultimately reducing errors and rework, and can reduce the process time by upto 50%.
How can it benefit your business?
Integrating the STS into your tightening process gives you the reliability that the work done, either by your team or third party operators, is being completed safely and accurately. This is acheived by analyzing the data captured from every step of the bolt tensioning process. Giving you an oppurtunity to improve or plan your operations in a better way.
Can it be customized to specific applications?
Yes, the smart tensioner can be customized and adapted for special applications.
Does the STS have a fail safe mechansim?
Yes, we see this is a key safety feature that we had to have integrated on the tensioner, along with rolled threads.
What is the Max pressure of the tensioner?
The max pressure of the tensioner is 2000 bar,.
What formats can you export data in?
You can export data in three separate ways: SML, CSV and XLS. All to help support you when analyzing results.
