EIDS Series: High Accuracy Low Torque Transducerized Screwdrivers for Industrial Assembly

Across industrial manufacturing, low‑torque fastening applications are becoming increasingly critical. From electronics and medical devices to e‑mobility and smart mobility systems, manufacturers face growing pressure to deliver higher accuracy, full traceability and consistent quality, while keeping production lines flexible and efficient. 

To address these evolving challenges, Desoutter introduces the EIDS Series, a new generation of low‑torque transducerized screwdrivers designed for modern industrial assembly environments.

Engineered for accuracy, designed for versatility, built to last.

What is the EIDS Series?

The EIDS Series is a new range of low‑torque transducerized screwdrivers developed to support safety‑critical applications and demanding production environments. 

It includes EIDS inline tools and EADS angle tools, offering manufacturers a robust, versatile and scalable solution for a wide variety of assembly processes. 

By combining exceptional accuracy, flexible integration and long‑term reliability, the EIDS Series helps manufacturers improve tightening quality while simplifying deployment across different workstation layouts.

Why Choose the EIDS Series for Low Torque Industrial Fastening?

The EIDS Series has been developed to address the key challenges faced by industrial manufacturers today: precision, flexibility, reliability and ease of integration.

By combining a wide torque range, high accuracy and seamless integration into the customer’s production ecosystem, EIDS helps manufacturers:

  • Improve tightening quality and repeatability
  • Reduce production complexity
  • Support safety critical assemblies
  • Enable production lines to be quickly operational and sustainably efficient

Whether used as a handheld tool or integrated into a fixtured or automated station, the EIDS Series adapts to your processes — not the other way around.

A Scalable Fastening Solution for Evolving Production Needs 

Thanks to its wide torque coverage and versatile design, the EIDS Series allows manufacturers to scale their fastening processes across different applications, workstations and production lines without changing tool platforms. 

High Accuracy Designed for Safety‑Critical Applications 

High and consistent accuracy across all tools and torque ranges* ensures reliable tightening results, while reducing the risk of scrap, rework or recalls — even in applications where product safety, compliance and quality are critical.
*The EIDS ( inline range) covers from 0.2 to 16 Nm with four models, and the EADS (angle range) covers from 1.5 to 22 Nm with three models.

How Does the EIDS Series Work? 

The EIDS Series is based on transducerized technology, using a very high quality transducer to deliver precise torque measurement directly at the tool level.

Transducerized Technology for Reliable Torque Measurement 

High accuracy across the full torque range on all tools ensures reliable results on every tightening operation, supporting consistent assembly quality. 

Designed for Easy Integration and Efficient Operation  

The EIDS Series offers: 

  • Seamless connection with AXON controller
  • Support for advanced tightening strategies
  • Access to the full Desoutter software suite

Thanks to its removable cable, tool installation, replacement and maintenance are fast and straightforward — minimizing downtime on the production line.

What Are the Key Benefits of the EIDS Series?

Consistent Tightening Accuracy Across the Full Torque Range 

The EIDS Series delivers +/-2.5% 6s torque scatter on every tool and across the entire torque range, in accordance with ISO 5393.
This level of precision is essential for applications where tightening quality directly impacts product safety, reliability and compliance. 

Reduced Tooling Complexity and Lower Cost of Ownership 

With a torque range from 0.2 to 22 Nm, covered by 4 inline tool models and 3 angle tool models, manufacturers can:

  • Use fewer tools on the line
  • Reduce backup tools and spare parts
  • Lower inventory and maintenance costs

A high torque ratio helps simplify production lines while maintaining consistent tightening quality — reducing the risk of scrap, rework or recalls. 

Improved Operator Feedback and Productivity 

Designed with operators in mind, the EIDS Series features:

  • Proven ergonomics enhanced by a new grip design
  • Integrated LEDs for joint illumination and status feedback, including predefined indicators and configurable LEDs that customers can tailor to specific events (e.g. tool readiness, cycle status or maintenance alerts)

Clear visual feedback reduces operator errors, increases productivity and improves overall line efficiency - without adding complexity.

Robust, Future‑Proof Design and Built to Last

The EIDS Series is designed to be robust and built for long‑term use. 
Easy maintenance and high repairability help minimize downtime and extend tool lifespan.

Combined with the AXON platform, EIDS becomes part of a future‑proof fastening loop, supporting advanced tightening strategies such as seating detection and enabling continuous process improvement.
