Ingersoll Rand® IQi Series Precision Electric Screwdriver
Ingersoll Rand Unveils the IQi Series Precision Electric Screwdriver: The Future of Intelligent Fastening
In today’s competitive manufacturing environments, precision, efficiency, and control are no longer optional—they are essential. Ingersoll Rand delivers these needs with the IQi Series Electric Screwdriver, a low-torque precision fastening solution designed to enhance productivity, reduce rework, and ensure accuracy on the assembly line.
With industry-first innovations, such as Tilt Angle Control, IQ Stop and an easier, more intuitive setup process with 100% remote access, the IQi Series stands apart with its user-friendly design and controls, setting a new standard in precision fastening.
Next Generation Fastening Capabilities
Manufacturers are constantly striving to improve efficiency and accuracy while reducing costly errors. With advanced torque and angle control strategies, real-time monitoring, and seamless integration with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) or Fieldbus networks, this tool optimizes assembly lines by eliminating errors, reducing downtime, and boosting productivity. Additionally, its easy-to-use interface and fully remote setup capabilities streamline the programming process, cutting setup time by 50% and reducing operational disruptions.
Why Choose the IQi Series?
Industry-First Tilt Angle Control Improves Reliability
The IQi Series introduces industry-first Tilt Angle Control, a breakthrough in precision fastening that ensures optimal tool alignment throughout the assembly process. By actively preventing cross-threading and maintaining joint integrity, this innovative feature significantly reduces rework and minimizes the risk of defects. The system continuously provides real-time feedback, allowing users to fine-tune their approach and enhance fastening quality at every step. With the ability to deliver consistent accuracy, Tilt Angle Control helps manufacturers achieve greater efficiency and reliability on the production line.
Smarter Setup with Intuitive Touchscreen and Remote Access
The IQi Series dramatically simplifies setup with its user-friendly 7-inch touchscreen, allowing for quick system configuration and seamless job setup. With 50% faster setup time, manufacturers can experience reduced downtime and improved efficiency. The tool’s 100% remote accessibility empowers engineers to set up, program, and troubleshoot from anywhere, eliminating the need for on-site adjustments and minimizing workflow interruptions. Additionally, integrated MES and Fieldbus support ensures automated tool enable/disable and job selection, reducing manual setup errors while streamlining production processes. This combination of intuitive design and advanced connectivity makes the IQi Series an essential asset for modern assembly lines.
Up to 77% Faster with IQ Stop
In high-performance assembly environments, speed and accuracy are non-negotiable. Traditional shiftdown methods often introduce delays during the transition from rundown to final tightening, increasing cycle times and reducing overall productivity. That’s where IQ Stop, Ingersoll Rand’s advanced shiftdown mode, makes a difference. IQ Stop is the go-to solution for environments that demand both speed and precision — making it the smarter choice for lean, high-throughput operations.
Precision and Quality Control That Maximizes Productivity
The IQi Series delivers precision, achieving a fastening accuracy of ±3.5% for transducerized models and ±7% for current control models, ensuring high-quality results while minimizing costly rework. Through live monitoring and traceability, the system continuously tracks torque, angle, and seat control strategies, allowing for real-time issue detection and correction to maximize performance. Live Trace Technology enables real-time torque curve analysis, offering unmatched visibility and control over the fastening process.
Durable Design Reducing Total Cost of Ownership
Designed for long-term durability, the IQi Series is engineered to withstand more than 1 million maintenance-free cycles, significantly reducing tool downtime and long-term operational costs. With these advanced quality control features, manufacturers can rely on consistent, high-precision fastening, boosting both productivity and reliability on the assembly line.
More Than a Tool—A Competitive Advantage on the Assembly Line
The IQi Series isn’t just a tool; it’s a strategic investment in faster, more precise, and efficient manufacturing.
Its ergonomic grip enhances user comfort, reducing fatigue, and increasing productivity. The 360-degree LED status beam provides instant feedback, ensuring that each fastening is achieved correctly. With the ability to store up to 1 million fastening records, manufacturers gain complete traceability, ensuring compliance with stringent quality standards.
“With the IQi Series, manufacturers can achieve unmatched accuracy and efficiency like never before,” said Kartik Sahu, Director of Product Management at Ingersoll Rand. “Our exclusive Tilt Angle Control is transforming the industry by minimizing errors and rework, while our intuitive touchscreen and remote setup simplify deployment, reducing setup time and operational disruptions. This is the ultimate tool for assembly lines aiming to maximize performance and reliability.”
