Atlas Copco is launching two multi-use portable compressors featuring its PACE system (Pressure Adjusted through Cognitive Electronics), which enables multiple pressure and flow settings to precisely suit the application need.
The unprecedented versatility of the XAVS 186 means a single compressor, which can be set to operate anywhere between 7 and 14bar, efficiently provides power for jobs that previously would have required multiple machines.
Using the intuitive PACE system, the XATS 186 can be set at intervals of 0.2 between 7 and 10bar, while the XAVS 186 can be customised in the same way between 7 and 14bar.
The company says that as a result, users can accurately match air flow and pressure to their needs with only one machine, whether the compressor is used in abrasive blasting, quarrying, construction drilling or powering handled tools. Free air delivery ranges from 9.8-11.4m3/minute for the XATS 186 and 10.1-11.4m3/minute for the XAVS 186.
The built-in XC2003 controller is said to offer multiple simple-to-use features, including monitoring the use of the compressor and issuing a prompt when planned service interventions are required.
