Demand for TensionPro's innovative QUANTUM Smart Tensioner has prompted the UK-based bolt tensioning experts to expand its QUANTUM range with two new models, QUANTUM Lite and QUANTUM Base. The current model has also been upgraded and is now called QUANTUM Max. 

QUANTUM ensures greater control of bolt tensioning processes and procedures by providing crucial data relevant for correct and accurate loading of critical bolts.  All systems are paired with a digitally controlled pump unit and offer data recording. 

The upgraded QUANTUM Max features an integrated motorised tensioner with new LED screen and software on the smart tensioner providing live step-by-step instructions and operator feedback. Push buttons on the tensioner ensure tensioning can be started automatically within seconds. QUANTUM Lite features the same LED screen and records pressure and angle of nut turn data following tightening, but the tensioner is installed on the bolt manually. QUANTUM Base features its own smart pump with digital pendant providing operator feedback, but can be used with any conventional tensioner. All versions can be configured with an optional Lift & Move Trolley. 

Available for bolt sizes M24 to M100, QUANTUM is ideal for wind turbine generator applications, ensuring speed, control and safety when working on the monopile to transition piece, foundation bolts, tower bolts, blade bolts and gearbox. optimised for wind applications. It is also suitable for all critical tensioned joints including OEM factory assembly lines, on / offshore construction and installation, or for ongoing maintenance projects. 

Said Richard Outram, TensionPro Sales Director: “We launched our QUANTUM smart tensioning solution last year and it has been a great success with the system very well received by customers. Now is an ideal time to upgrade and expand our range to cater for growing demand. The upgrade to QUANTUM Max and the addition of QUANTUM Lite and QUANTUM Base means we have a solution to meet all requirements and budgets.”
