Description
On a busy assembly line, the costly error is often the missed bolt, not the slightly loose one. The Snap-on CTLNK2R100 torque wrench targets that risk. It is a ControlTech Link digital wrench with a 3/8″ fixed head, and it sets from 5 to 100 ft-lb.
Error-proofing with the Snap-on CTLNK2R100 torque wrench
Snap-on lists sequence programming among the Link features. A supervisor can build a job from several presets in order, then lock it. The operator then follows the steps, and the wrench marks each target with lights, a beep and a buzz in the handle. In addition, a time stamp goes with every reading.
Through Snap-on’s CTLNKCTRL controller, those readings can flow to a plant MES in real time. So a skipped or low joint shows up before the part leaves the station.
Link or Industrial: which ControlTech fits?
| ControlTech Link (CTLNK) | ControlTech Industrial (CTECH) | |
|---|---|---|
| Data path | Wireless, via the CTLNKCTRL controller to MES | USB download |
| On-board memory | 1,500 readings | 1,500 readings |
| Front end | Fixed drive or shank models; this one is fixed | Fixed, flex or interchangeable heads |
In short, both lines share the core digital features. The CTLNK2R100, however, suits plants that want live process control rather than a file download later.
CTLNK2R100 range in three units
The catalog gives 5-100 ft-lb, 60-1,200 in-lb and 6.8-135.6 N·m. That band covers many 3/8″ jobs, such as seat, trim and bracket bolts in vehicle assembly. It also suits pump covers and small flanges in plant upkeep. For best accuracy, keep targets at 20 ft-lb or higher, because the ±2% clockwise rating starts at 20% of capacity.
Daily care
Never use the wrench to break loose a seized bolt. Also keep it clean and dry between shifts, and send it for calibration on your normal cycle.
