HeliCoil / ArmaCoil Electric & Pneumatic Power Tools
Helicoil Pneumatic Power Tool
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)

Electric Power Tool
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.

About HeliCoil/ArmaCoil Power Tools
HeliCoil/ArmaCoil Electric & Pneumatic Power Tools are specially designed for use in high volume production. The advantages of using 
HeliCoil/ArmaCoil Power Tools lie not only in their speed of operation but also in their accuracy and precision during insert installation. 
They can minimise production costs by dramatically reducing the time needed for installing large quantities of HeliCoil/ArmaCoil screw 
thread inserts.
