OK International will be demonstrating the MFX-2200 Fume Extraction System at Productronica 2005.
The range of electric and battery powered tools increases productivity through an advanced ergonomic design.
Incorporating a lightweight, well-balanced design, PTX Series tools are easy for technicians to manoeuvre, and a dual-finger short-throw trigger and a long handle eases pressure on the palm, making the tool effortless to use.
Comfort and safety are optimised, while wire wrapping/unwrapping productivity is greatly increased.

Companies looking for safe, ergonomically designed hand tools, that will boost efficiency while remaining cost effective, need to consider the ImpactPlus series of hand tools from OK Industries.
A rugged ABS housing encases a high-torque planetary gear drive that will wrap 18 to 30AWG (1.0 to 0.25mm) wire, and is compatible with the full range of industry standard bits and sleeves.
The PTX Series is available with 48, 115 and 230V electric motors, while the battery version is powered by a long-life 3.6V NiMH cell and incorporates a low-voltage LED indicator.
"With OK Industries innovative design, the task of wrapping/unwrapping is straightforward", said Mark Tutty, European Product Manager.
"For the technician, the PTX Series is quite simply a painless, faster, better way to make connections".
Complementing the PTX Series are the ground-breaking DFB224 and DFB2426 wire wrap/unwrap dual function bit/sleeve sets.
Using a unique, exclusive approach to wire wrapping, each unit combines both the wrap and the unwrap functions into one bit/sleeve set.
The bit itself is precision machined for high quality clockwise wrapping, but also includes the removal mechanism to unwrap counter clockwise making both wrapping and unwrapping amazingly fast.
There's no need to change polarities, no time-consuming steps switching from a clockwise to counter clockwise operation.
Technicians simply switch between wrap and unwrap mode by retracting or extending the retractable sleeve, and flipping the switch on a wrap/unwrap power tool (with reversible motor).
In addition, retractable sleeve is coated with an insulative material that provides 1000V dielectric strength to prevent pin-to-pin shorting.
The DFB224 wire wrap/unwrap dual function bit/sleeve set can wrap or unwrap 22 and 24AWG wire, while the DFB2426 is for use with 24 and 26AWG wire.
Both enable the user to maximise operating efficiency while eliminating the need to purchase and carry extra tools or bits for unwrapping. Request a free brochure from OK International ...
