Atlas Copco’s Impact on KTH Formula Student
Atlas Copco’s support extends far beyond providing us with cutting-edge tools. Their investment in our team, through both resources and expertise, has played a key role in enhancing our workflow and optimizing our manufacturing process. One of the most valuable assets they have provided us with is the Angle Cordless Nutrunner Tensor STB, a state-of-the-art tool that has become indispensable to our car assembly. This advanced tool delivers both precision and efficiency, which are crucial when building a high-performance race car. It has also significantly improved our ability to service the car trackside, ensuring that bolts are tightened to the correct torque settings quickly, safely, and reliably.
