Power tool manufacturer, Ingersoll Rand, has unveiled a new series of P33N precision drills designed for manufacturing and maintenance within the aircraft and aerospace industries.
The new drills are designed in straight, pistol, angle and modular versions, which fit different applications such as precise drilling and reaming of high-technology materials for the aerospace industry.
The P33N drills are designed to be flexible, powerful and durable, with a 20% reduction in weight. The drills also have better ergonomics and improved visual tool identification. The product comes with different colour visuals which allow operators to quickly identify the tool’s speed and avoid mistakes when selecting the tool in working environments.
The new tools are covered with soft-touch polyurethane PU Paint, which provides a more ergonomic and secure grip than cold metal housing and reduces vibrations. The radius transition between the housing and nose gives the operator a sense of where their hand is placed on the tool, minimising the pressure points and reducing the risk of slipping while operating. For additional safety, the drills feature a proven and ergonomic safety lever.
The P33N features a 330Wh quick-change motor, with a range of speeds available from 660 to 18000 rpms and a choice of 30, 90 and 180 degree angle heads.
Ingersoll Rand is a $13 billion global business that develops tools for technicians and operators, while also aiming to enhance the quality of air in homes and buildings, transport and protect food and perishables, and increase industrial productivity and efficiency.
