OVERVIEW 

• 

The IT8000 is designed to install 3/8" Tie-Lok® ties with repeatability and control.  The machine is 
adjustable for individual applications and provides data to ensure the quality of the finished assembly 

• 

The IT8000 is powered by pneumatic cylinders and an electric motor powered with an AC connection. 
Data is transferred from tool to controller (Siemens PLC) and can be extracted utilizing USB or ethernet 

 

The mechanical drive portion of the tool tensions, dimples, and cuts a clamp to form a durable and 
strong fastened joint between two objects 

 

The electronic control of the tool uses feedback from the mechanical portion to accurately control the 
tension process of the tool and activate the punch and cut 

 

The tool can be programmed by the user to accommodate specific applications utilizing the HMI 
(Human-Machine Interface) 

 

The tool can provide a data output to allow for verification of the integrity of the finished assembly 

QUICK START OVERVIEW 

1.

 

Connect data and motor cable to tool (Page 15) 

Note: Ensure controller power and air are off before connecting to the tool (Page 16) 

2.

 

Connect data cable to controller (Page 16) 

3.

 

Connect air harness to tool (Page 15) and controller (Page 17, Fig. 20) 

4.

 

Connect HMI (touchscreen) to controller (page 16) 

5.

 

Connect external regulator to controller (page 16) 

6.

 

Connect air hose to external controller regulator (page 17)

 

Customer supplied: connect with either 3/8

 OD push-to-connect fitting or 

¼” NPT

 thread 

7.

 

Plug in controller (110V US standard outlet) 

8.

 

Power on tool, ensure door latch is set to 

“On”

 and flip power switch on outlet module (Page 16) 

Note: If the controller is not getting power, ensure the internal circuit breaker is flipped on 

9.

 

HMI will boot up main program screen  

10.

 

Enter tool serial number, located by the three mounting holes (Page 19) 

11.

 

Tool settings are factory set to 

recommended settings for .019” band thickness (punch pressure)

 

1.

 

Ensure all settings are correct for application (page 31) and input settings as necessary 

1.

 

Set punch pressure (Page 17) 

2.

 

Set tension torque (Page 31) 

3.

 

Set error passcode preference (Page 38) 

8.

 

Message banner at top of screen should read "Tool Ready" and the tool is ready to use (if trigger is 

unresponsive press the "Reset Error" button on the HMI) 

Note: The controller needs approximately 30 seconds to boot up before the trigger is responsive
