ASG, Division of Jergens, Inc. Announces New BLG-4000 Brushless Electric Torque Drivers in the Assembly Product Group

New affordable torque drivers are the next generation tools from HIOS

CLEVELAND, OHIO - May 16, 2012 - ASG, Division of Jergens, Inc. announces the addition of the new BLG-4000 brushless electric torque drivers into the Assembly Product Group catalog. The BLG-4000 is one of the newest next generation tools from HIOS (Japan). ASG distributes HIOS brand tools as part of the newly-created Ultimate Gold 'World Class Quality' product category, which contains those products within the Assembly Product Group which feature the highest quality and capability.

The new BLG-4000 provides stable screw tightening quality and features outstanding durability and long operating life.  The use of the brushless motor ensures clean operation and reduces heat generation by approximately 40 percent when compared to a brushed driver of the same specification. The main body of the driver is manufactured of anti-static plastic, producing an environment that is less electrically charged - ideal for assembly of precision instruments, electronic components, etc.

The new BLG-4000 is compact, measuring 8 inches long with a 1 3/8-inch diameter. The driver is also very lightweight, weighing only 12.3 ounces.

BLG-4000 electric torque drivers are immediately available through the ASG Distributor Network, and will be on display at the ASG booth at Assembly & Automation Technology Expo 2012 on June 19-21 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois.
