The responsive tightening system perfectly blends responsive action and torque control. The Ingersoll Rand® proprietary torque control algorithm powers the simple and flexible tightening system, changing the game in reliable fastening. Experience effortless operations with its user-friendly interface, 40 distinct torque levels, 7 flush levels, dual speed non-contact trigger, and a 360° status beam LED ring light. Featuring a lightweight and ergonomic design, the cordless impact wrench enables sustained performance in continuous production environments. With reactionless performance, robust wireless connectivity, and programmable settings, the RTS Connect is the ultimate mechanical pulse tool for those who demand perfection.
RTS continuously monitors the state of the discrete-energy pulses through sensors in the tool along with motorcurrent feedback. RTS processes the feedback signals and applies Ingersoll Rand® proprietary torque control algorithms to determine when the fastener has become snug based on mechanism operating frequency and other factors.

RTS Advanced Features
Rehit Detection Mode: When the tool detects a high load on a fastener at startup, Rehit Detection Mode immediately shuts off the tool off displays a cycle-fail indicator, alerting the operator that a fastener was previously tightened or has been cross-threaded.
Benefit: During a common fastening, there is a period of rundown during which the fastener encounters very little resistance. If high resistance is encountered at this stage, the fastener may have been tightened already, or the fastener has been cross-threaded. With Rehit Detection Mode enabled, the tool shuts down when it senses high resistance and will alert the operator that the fastener needs attention.
Cross-Thread Reduction: The RTS Connect turns two revolutions in the loosening direction prior to tightening a fastener to ensure better thread alignment.
Benefit: Running a fastener in the loosening direction before tightening can help reduce the risk of crossthreading by piloting the first threads in the joint and giving the operator the ability to take control over thread alignment.
Soft-Start: The tool speed gradually ramps up at the beginning of a cycle.
Benefit: A gradual speed increase during soft start gives the operator more control as they get the fasteners started.
Flush Detection Delay: The tool delays flush detection at the beginning of a cycle for a specified period of time.
Benefit: If there are loads on a fastener before it’s fully seated, the flush detection algorithm may enable prematurely. When it is known that flush detection is not to occur until after a specific period of time, setting the Flush Detection Delay to that time will disable flush detection until the time has elapse.
Rehit Prevention: The tool trigger is disabled for a specified period of time following the completion of each tightening.
Benefit: During the rapid tightening of a series of fasteners, operator-error may occur, such as failure to advance to the next fastener or tighten the same fastener twice. When expected fastening time is known, Rehit Prevention Mode can help prevent a rehit mistake.
Reverse Disable: The tool only operates in the tightening direction.
Benefit: Maintain control in production when operators are only required to install fasteners. When Reverse Disable is on, the tool will only operate in the tightening direction. Therefore, the tool cannot be used for fastener removal or for rework.
One Speed: The tool operates at full-speed only.
Benefit: Operators can maximize repeatability when fasteners are tightened the same way every time. One Speed provides assurance that the tool only operates at full speed, eliminating speed variation when teasing the trigger.
Controller
The INSIGHT™ Connect app helps you stay productive, mobile, and in control of your fastening processes. When you use the INSIGHT™ Connect app, you can program any Ingersoll Rand® RTS Connect Series or QX Connect Series™ via smartphone or tablet. This eliminates the need for additional technical training, special software, or plant network permissions. Operators can use the app to quickly program basic or advanced tightening parameters. Once installed, the INSIGHT™ Connect app can operate offline, making it functional in large facilities or other locations, where Internet connectivity may be unreliable, increasing uptime and maximizing ease of use. The INSIGHT™ Connect app is the perfect companion to the RTS Connect and QX Connect Series™ tools, connecting to each tool wirelessly via Bluetooth®.
Choose between multiple user-friendly PRODUCT communication options for easy integration.
- All models are equipped with 5 communication options: 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, 5 GHz Wi-Fi, 802.15.4 Radio, Bluetooth®, and USB-C
- The RTS Connect seamlessly integrates with the INSIGHTqcx™ Controller and the INSIGHT™ Connect mobile app through a variety of communication options. The tools easily adapt to changing customer requirements with multiple communication.
