Powder Actuated (P.A.) Fastening System
The Ramset™
Powder Actuated (P.A.) Fastening
System, also known as the explosive powered
tool system, is an innovative approach to fastening
construction materials to concrete, steel or brick.
By using a controlled power load to deliver the
fastener directly to the materials, it eliminates the
need for drilling, plugging and bolting etc.
The latest Ramset™
P.A. tools - FrameBoss™,
FormMaster™, FrameMaster™ (TS750P),
JobMaster™, TyMaster™, FixMaster™ (TS60P),
Rocket, InsulFast™ and DekMaster™ - use the
new low velocity indirect acting system to deliver a
powerful strike on the fastener.
The low velocity indirect acting system allows
more control over the power supplied to the
fastener as the driving action stops when all the
energy is consumed in fastening, or when the
piston reaches the end of its stroke. This limits
the potential free-flight (projectile) velocity of the
fastener. This is one of the ways in which the
Ramset™
indirect acting P.A. system is designed
to limit the risk of injury provided that the tool is
operated correctly.
