For applications that need reliable torque-controlled fastening with OK/NOK confirmation, Makita MTC offers a cost-effective cordless solution.
The integrated MTC module communicates directly with higher-level production controls via factory WLAN — without the need for a separate fastening controller.
Many smart tightening systems are designed to capture detailed information from every fastening cycle, including actual torque, angle and tightening curves.
That level of information is essential for critical joints. But many production applications simply don't need it.
For Class B and other non-critical fastening applications, the requirement may simply be to confirm that the fastener has been tightened correctly and prevent the operator from moving forward when a fastening is missed or NOK.
Makita MTC is designed for exactly this type of application.
The Makita tools use a mechanical clutch for torque control and provide OK/NOK fastening confirmation rather than measured torque and angle data. The result is a significantly simpler architecture for applications where full transducerized traceability would add unnecessary cost and complexity.
Makita's documentation specifically describes applications where torque, angle and screw curves are not required, but confirmation that the screw has been tightened to torque is sufficient.
Makita MTC combines the simplicity of a cordless industrial screwdriver with the connectivity required for modern assembly. With clutch-controlled torque, programmable operation and an integrated MTC module, the tools provide OK/NOK fastening confirmation directly to your production system—without the need for a separate fastening controller. The range includes pistol and angle models covering 0.5 to 40 Nm.
