Tool
XIT6000 Configured for Remote Actuation:
•
The XIT6000-CA - 11 has trigger option 1 and is a modified version of the base unit XIT6000–
CA - 01. The XIT6000-CA-01 is manually operated via the incorporated thumb actuation lever.
The XIT6000-CA-11 is configured to allow remote operation via palm button or other device
permitting the tool to be incorporated into the customer’s fixture or assembly process.
•
The modification consists of deactivating the thumb lever actuation switch and installing a twin-
coiled 10-ft X 1/8” O.D. hose to accomplish the same task via the use of a remote actuation
device such as a palm button or other device that can provide a pneumatic signal to pilot the
tension control valve.
•
Various actuation devices can be incorporated based upon end user requirements. Basic
schematic for 2-way & 3-way valves included below. The valve should be set up in the
normally closed mode and upon opening the circuit a supply of air is provided.
•
