OVERVIEW
•The IT8000 is designed to install 3/8" Tie-Lok® ties with repeatability and control. The machine is
adjustable for individual applications and provides data to ensure the quality of the finished assembly
•The IT8000 is powered by pneumatic cylinders and an electric motor powered with an AC connection.
Data is transferred from tool to controller (Siemens PLC) and can be extracted utilizing USB or ethernet
•The mechanical drive portion of the tool tensions, dimples, and cuts a clamp to form a durable and
strong fastened joint between two objects
•The electronic control of the tool uses feedback from the mechanical portion to accurately control the
tension process of the tool and activate the punch and cut
•The tool can be programmed by the user to accommodate specific applications utilizing the HMI
(Human-Machine Interface)
•The tool can provide a data output to allow for verification of the integrity of the finished assembly
QUICK START OVERVIEW
