The new IxB tool family includes the Tensor ITB-A and Tensor ICB cordless nutrunners. Both models feature a controller integrated directly in the unit. This page presents the Tensor ICB. We deal with its impressive accessibility features, outstanding user ergonomics and future-oriented technology. You will find information on the other IxB model, the Tensor ITB-A here.
The ICB basics
The Tensor ICB from Atlas Copco Tools is a cordless nutrunner with a controller integrated directly in the tool. While the Tensor ITB is designed for higher torque values up to 200 Nm, the Tensor ICB is a more compact unit. Its versatility offers greater flexibility for users and it can adapt to your applications. You can choose from three battery options (14, 18 or 36 V). In addition, two versions with or without display and two torque variants (1.5-7 Nm or 3-15 Nm) are available.

Optimized for the user
Compared with our previous generation of Tensor STB nutrunners, the Tensor ICB is 30% shorter and 30% lighter.
This significant reduction in weight and size reduces the load on the user and makes work easier and safer. The compact size of the Tensor ICB together with its optimized power-to-weight ratio allows much better access to joints.
Joints which were very difficult to access in the past can now be reached easily with this tool. That makes tool handling easier and improves ergonomics.
Two features make the Tensor ICB unique. The angled head of the nutrunner can be turned through 360 degrees and set to 18 different positions. The starter of the Tensor ICB can also be turned a full 360 degrees around the tool axis and can be locked securely in one of 20 positions. These two features extend the application range of the Tensor ICB and further improve user ergonomics.
Future-proof production
In the era of Industry 4.0, manufacturing activities call for real-time data, the use of smart technology and slim production. The Tensor ICB meets all these requirements in an impressive way. With the optional display, an ICB tool provides its users with clear feedback. It displays all the relevant tightening data and gives a clear indication of progress with the operation.
As the integrated controller has all the data and information required available, a Tensor ICB can be used entirely without a separate physical controller. Users can save up to 1,000 parameter sets and up to 10,000 tightening curves and results. As another innovative feature, working in radio dead spots presents no problems as all the intelligence required is on board the tool.
Thanks to the scalability of functions, you can adapt the integrated controller of the Tensor ICB precisely to your individual requirements and applications. Should you need additional functions at a later stage, Atlas Copco ensures easy implementation.
The IxB series also focuses on connectivity. These innovative cordless nutrunners feature a unique Wi-Fi analysis tool implemented in the tool software. In areas with fluctuating radio reception, you can use this tool to identify possible causes of service interruption.
