faster, more accurate
Ingersoll Rand provides top-tier technology for faster and more accurate assembly of solar panels and metallic structures, ensuring quality assurance through recording tightening results. Inaccurate bolt tightening causes big problems in a solar assembly. It can lead to metallic structure deformation and failure, storm damage or incorrect panel orientation that creates reduced efficiency.
But checking and adjusting every bolt tightened with simple tools costs time and money.On top of that, today’s smaller, more compact PV cells make it hard to access bolts with standard assembly tools. Using manual tools or making manual adjustments is time-consuming and sometimes difficult. And can cause expensive damage.
Ingersoll Rand can help you solve these problems:
TIGHTEN AND GO
With QX precision tools it's that easy: Set the required torque level for every tool via our mobile app or directly on the tool display... and you are ready to go for accurate tightening every time. Plus: You can monitor all your tightening data with ease and precision.

EASY ACCESS TO THE TIGHTEST PLACES
Ingersoll Rand’s new solution addresses this challenge with the ‘Crowfoot’ – a metallic part mounted on the tool itself. Now you can access even the tightest areas. And with the inbuilt torque system you combine three tasks in one. Tighten right first time, every time.

MEET YOUR PROJECT GOALS
As a project manager, you have targets to finish the project as expected: Quality, on time and within the costs. Ingersoll Rand offers great solutions for all these aspects:As a project manager, you have targets to finish the project as expected: Quality, on time and within the costs. Ingersoll Rand offers great solutions for all these aspects:
REDUCE RISK WITHOUT MORE WORK
As an investor you expect to achieve your ROI (or even better) with piece of mind, knowing that your investment runs as it should. Without the right torque tightening, financial losses can be huge. Changing weather conditions can lead to serious damage on the site when solar panels must change position on a fixed structure.
And even if such issues would not arise, you can still finalize your investment with a better price by cutting your assembly related costs.
IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY AND REDUCE COSTS
Reaching financial targets and boosting profitability with the expected quality is key to any project. To help this in the assembly process, Ingersoll Rand offers a new disruptive technology. Improve your productivity & cut (re)tightening related quality costs*, you can drastically increase the ROI & profitability of your projects.
HELP OPERATORS WORK BETTER
Operators are everything when it comes to the project success. And using the right tools empowers them to do their best.
Using Ingersoll Rand QX Precision tools, operators can:
EASY AND ACCURATE TORQUE MONITORING
Quality is one of the most important aspects of a solar assembly process. And there are serious risks to getting the torque wrong. For example, changing weather conditions require solar panels to change position on a fixed structure. If bolts are over-tightened, this may cause damage to the structure.
So you need to be sure. But checking and adjusting every bolt tightened using simple tools costs you time and money.
Ingersoll Rand QX Connect tools help you to ensure torque accuracy, logging all results to ensure everything is done as expected .
Discover the precision engineering techniques that bring our vision for sustainable energy to life.
The main body is the main structure on which PV panels are mounted. Each part can require up to 30 bolts, with torque levels ranging from 40 to 105 Nm.
As these critical structures are getting more compact they are increasingly difficult to access. Ingersoll Rand’s customized solution enables easier access and precision tightening, which reduces the risk of damage to the most expensive parts of the structure due to overtorque issues.
Sun Tracker Units rotate the structure towards the Sun in order to optimize the efficiency of PV cells. Generally the fastening requirements here are high torques due to the mechanics of these high-precision structures, which are fully compatible with Ingersoll Rand QXM torque multiplier tools.
