Tool Timer Pneumatic (80 CFM)

The ‘Tool-Timer’ from Castle is the latest ground-breaking product to help companies overcome some of the problems associated with the measurement of Hand-Transmitted Vibration and the assessment of ‘Trigger-Time‘.

It is often said that the simple ideas are usually the best and here is a case in point. Simple to setup, simple to use and highly effective.

The measurement of vibration levels from hand-held power tools is now a fairly well prescribed process and can be carried out with reasonable repeatability. The problem still remains, however with the assessment of ‘trigger-time’ and this can lead to large errors in a risk assessment. This is where the ‘Tool-Timer’ comes into its own. Simply connect the device in-line with the air or electricity supply and the built-in timer will give you the actual operation time of the tool.

Preventative maintenance is another area where the tool-timer can bring great benefits. Simply by leaving the unit to measure the overall usage time of a hand-held power tool, maintenance schedules can be controlled and optimum service cycles can be monitored.
