The new micro torque K-Ducer, the KDS-NT, is the latest addition to our transducerized screwdriver line and it's the most intelligent and cost-effective tool on the micro-torque market in the 5 - 70 cNm (i.e. 0.05 - 0.7Nm) torque range.
Available in aluminium housing for automation or with start/reverse buttons or start lever for manual use,
the new KDS-NT screwdriver works in combination with our KDU-NT controller, a sleek, ultra-compact control unit that includes all of our newest K-Ducer features. It can be supplied with or without table stand and can be easily placed anywhere!
The transducer inside the tool measures the actual calibrated torque applied to each joint at every tightening, ensuring accuracy and repeatability...

While tools like Kolver's electric screwdrivers with torque & angle control ensure that the correct torque is applied during assembly, companies may still have a need to audit existing joints at a later date, perhaps as part of their ongoing quality control process.
This is generally referred to as a “torque audit” and aims at measuring the residual torque.
REASONS FOR AUDITING TORQUE
After all, a precision screwdriver can guarantee that the joint has been tightened in accordance with specifications, but there remains a question of what happens to the joint after tightening is complete and there may be some joint relaxation...

ADVANCED TORQUE CONTROL STRATEGIES
While basic target torque & angle control are often sufficient, some applications often require more advanced tightening techniques.
Fortunately, the K-DUCER can handle even the most complex and sophisticated applications thanks to features such as Sequential Torque & Angle Control, Running Torque (Compensate and Monitor), Prevailing Torque, and multi-step program options. To find out how to turn on any of these features, read on!
Note: If you’re not familiar with any of these terms, check out the terminology section of K-DUCER manual...
