Corded platforms

Desoutter corded assembly tools provide advanced industrial fastening control solutions designed to optimize assembly line performance.

Desoutter’s corded assembly tools portfolio includes several controller families tailored to different industrial needs and production complexities. *AXON *offers advanced connectivity and intuitive user interfaces, providing flexibility to choose any type of tool such as pistol, handheld or spindles. It can handle torque ranges from 0.2 Nm to more than 2000 Nm. It provides versatile tightening control with scalable traceability options, integrated communication protocols, and advanced tightening strategies, for both isolated workstations and fully connected smart factories. This new generation of controller offers a cybersecurity architecture which is fully hardened and ensures the highest level of protection.

CVIR II / CVIL II and CVIC II ranges address advanced fastening requirements in low torque applications, ensuring consistent performance, repeatable accuracy, and long-term durability. Thanks to their ability to monitor and control micro torque with exceptional accuracy, CVIXS controllers ensure reliable assembly quality even in the most sensitive low‑torque applications.
Additionally, ESP-C controllers deliver efficient and cost-effective solutions for low-voltage and current-controlled screwdrivers or clutch screwdrivers, helping manufacturers maintain high productivity.

Desoutter controllers for corded tools integrate seamlessly into the Desoutter ecosystem.

Other questions about the corded platforms

What is a controller for an assembly line?

 

A controller is an electronic unit that manages, monitors, and optimizes tightening or assembly operations on a production line. It ensures consistent torque, process repeatability, and quality compliance. Controllers communicate with tools, operators, and factory systems (PLC, MES, quality software). They help detect errors, give operators feedbacks, and store tightening data for traceability.

Desoutter uses controllers such as CVI3 or AXON to support high‑precision industrial assembly.

CVIXS controllers monitor and control micro torque with exceptional accuracy.

How does a controller work?

 
  • It communicates with the assembly tool (torque, angle, speed, status).

  • It processes this data using predefined tightening strategies or parameters.

  • It provides visual feedback to operators (OK/NOK, steps, alerts).

  • It stores and transmits tightening data to factory systems for quality control and analysis.

What is a corded tool?

 

A corded tool is an electric assembly tool powered by a cable, not a battery. It provides continuous power, ideal for high‑duty or high‑torque applications.

What are the advantages of using corded tools over cordless tools?

 

Key benefits include:

  • Unlimited runtime: no battery

  • Possibility of reaching higher torques

  • Reduced accessories management compared to battery systems: no battery management, no loss/break of battery

  • Easier integration into automated or semi‑automated stations

  • Less risk of disconnection

How do I choose the right corded electric screwdriver?

 

Key selection criteria include:

  • Required torque and speed

  • Duty cycle and production volume

  • Quality and traceability requirements

  • Workstation layout and cable management

Desoutter application experts can support you in selecting the most suitable solution.

What torque ranges are available?

 

Desoutter corded electric screwdrivers cover a broad range of torque requirements, depending on the tool series and application:

Very low torque: starting from approximately 0.06 Nm

Ideal for electronics, electrical components, and delicate assemblies requiring high precision.

Low to medium torque: up to around 10 Nm

Suitable for general industrial assembly, small fasteners, and quality‑critical manual workstations.

Medium to higher torque: up to approximately 50 Nm

Designed for more demanding industrial applications where higher fastening forces are required.

Exact torque ranges vary by model and configuration. Please refer to individual product pages or contact Desoutter for detailed technical specifications and application guidance.

What is the difference between an electric screwdriver and a pneumatic screwdriver?

 

Electric screwdrivers offer:

  • Higher torque precision and consistency

  • Lower noise levels

  • Better energy efficiency

  • Easier torque monitoring and data traceability

Pneumatic tools may be preferred in simpler applications, but electric screwdrivers are ideal for quality-critical and Industry 4.0 environments.
