HeliCoil / ArmaCoil Electric & Pneumatic Power Tools
The Pneumatic Power Tool speeds up installation speed & assembly, eliminates waste, and
permits an accurate count of HeliCoil/ArmaCoil screw thread inserts. It allows for rapid
installation of both standard free running and screw-lock inserts.
The Pneumatic Power Tool can be hand held, vertically or horizontally mounted onto a
Pneumatic Power Tool Holder, or adapted to both semi-automatic and fully automatic
installation stations.
The threaded mandrel system of the Pneumatic Power Tool eliminates the possibility of cross
threading or jamming of the wire insert during installation as the insert is pitch controlled as it
moves from the tool to the workpiece via the threaded mandrel. This ensures a precise
assembly, each and every time.
The Pneumatic Power Tool comprises of:
Reversible air motor
Adaptor
Front end assembly (prewinder, mandrel, and spacer sets)

The Electric Power Tool is a fully automatic tool with forward and reverse motions in a single
lever action. The tool meets the requirements of clean room operations and is low in noise
when in operation. The Electric Power Tool is also light in weight and the slender
configuration of the mandrels allows users to reach into constricted areas.
For perfect angle alignment and support of the Pneumatic Power Tool, the use of the
Pneumatic Power Tool Holder is highly recommended. The Power Tool Holder can be used with
or without HeliCoil/ArmaCoil strip feed inserts and is recommended for use with smaller sized
inserts such as 2-56 & M2.5 & below the small sizes of these inserts make manual handling
difficult.
The Pneumatic Power Tool Holder can be bolted or clamped to the workbench to create a
compact workstation. The air motor is attached to a spring loaded air tube at the end of a
movable arm. A mounting arm is also provided for attaching reels of HeliCoil/ArmaCoil strip
feed inserts. This power tool holder configuration ensures accurate vertical (square to work
surface) installation of HeliCoil/ArmaCoil inserts in relatively large parts.
For even greater productivity during high volume production, HeliCoil/ArmaCoil screw thread
inserts can be supplied in reels of plastic tape known as Strip Feed Inserts. The inserts are
held securely in the reels of plastic tape and neatly coiled into reels. Hence, the
HeliCoil/ArmaCoil insert is positioned properly for installation each and every time, eliminating
time spent on manual positioning of the inserts.
When used with the Pneumatic Power Tool, HeliCoil/ArmaCoil Strip Feed Inserts speed up
assembly, eliminates cumbersome manual handling of each insert, eliminates incidents of
dropped inserts, and facilitates counting of inserts.
